∙ 12y agoSince you didn't specify what kind of injury I'll try to cover all bases. While riding, protective boots and/or wraps can support the legs and/or hooves. There are splint boots, skid boots, hock boots, bell boots, shipping boots for travel.
For trailering use shipping boots and if your horse is a 'head tosser' there are helmets so he won't hurt his head while in the trailer.
And lastly, prevention is your best bet for hedging injuries. Common sense goes a long way. Keep his pasture and stall free of debris he could get caught up on, step on or accidentally eat. When you tie him, do so in a safe place with a solid halter, leadrope and secure hitching post or device. Check your fences often, looking closely for broken or loose poles or wire, or nails that have come loose.
