In August 2024, Jen’s dressage horse Dreamy achieved 80% in the Grand Prix Freestyle. Just ten days later, he underwent emergency colic surgery for a volvulus. Though no resection was required, the volvulus returned a week later, leading to a second surgery. The second incision developed a severe infection that persisted for months.
During his ICU stay, Dreamy was fitted with a standard abdominal recovery band. It wasn’t designed for his warmblood frame, leaving him with pressure sores, bald patches, and discomfort. His cheerful demeanor turned sour whenever the band went on.
Jen and her team tried to pad and adjust the band with fleece, foam, and shims, but it was never right. She began searching for something better — and discovered Vetoflex in the Czech Republic. Their ergonomic recovery belt addressed every issue. Today, Dreamy still wears Vetoflex daily for abdominal support. His story is why Savvy Horse Products became the US distributor.
