Where does the word hamstring come from?

The word "hamstring" originates from the Old English term "ham," meaning "back of the knee," and "string," referring to the tendons that run along the back of the thigh. Historically, the term was used to describe the tendons that are crucial for bending the knee and extending the hip. Additionally, "hamstring" was also associated with the practice of disabling a horse or person by cutting these tendons.

How long should a horse rest after a hamstring injury?

Horses don't have hamstring ligaments. They have many other ligaments and tendons from the knee down in the front leg, and from the hock down in the hind leg. The amount of rest depends on the extent of the injury and what other treatments the horse is receiving for the injury. An ultrasound and an examination from your vet will give you the ultimate answer. Trying to guess on a tendon or ligament injury in a horse and trying to treat it with no diagnosis from the vet is a very dicey proposition, and often results in a horse that will never be serviceably sound again. In other words, a very expensive, eating and pooping lawn ornament.
