How Does Lipogems
Equine Work?
The simplest description
for the non-scientific
mind is that the process
of the treatment
replicates what would
naturally happen in an
injury situation. Adipose
tissue (fat) is collected
using liposuction from
around the tailhead.
The tissue is micro-
fragmented in the
Lipogems canister,
triggering the horse’s
own damage response
mechanism, washed
in saline solution and
collected through a filter
in a syringe, which is
then injected into the
injury site. For more
in-depth scientific
explanations visit the
Lipogems Equine
website.

Hello to High Goal – Superficial Digital
Flexor Tendon Tear
Murray Shotter updates us on Valentina, “I was
called out to see Pite Merlos’ pony Valentina
in 2016, approximately three weeks after the
injury occurred. It was a very bad superficial
digital flexor tendon tear. The recovery has
been brilliant, the horse is now back playing
polo in the 18 goal and certainly Pite is
preparing her for the high goal next year. It was
a potentially career ending injury and now the
pony is playing polo and looking really good.”
Winner Winner – Reoccurring Stifle
Lameness
Ellie, a 13-year-old Exmoor Pony, had a soft
tissue injury to her stifle causing reoccurring
lameness. There had been a poor response
to rest and intra-articular injection of
corticosteroids. Ellie was treated on the
12 July 2016, less than one year later Ellie
won Overall Supreme Champion at her first
show.
