Protection against injury sustained through boots rubbing. Provides extra support for the tendon. Ideal for icing applications for injury prevention and treatment. Whether you have an equine emergency or wish to protect your horses' legs this summer, the Kentucky Tendon Grip is an essential piece of kit for the meticulous horse owner. In this feature, Thomas Tuytens, MD and owner of Kentucky Horsewear, the technical horse boot brand talks about why this clever tube of elastic is rapidly becoming one of the brand's biggest sellers. As a keen event rider, I have had my fair share of leg injuries and whilst our protective horse boot collection protects against knocks and blows to the leg, I found it was often other medical problems that often saw my horses out of action: Problems such as swellings/ rubs/ sores/ fly bites etc, which were equally as frustrating and I felt preventable or at the very least could be managed in a more positive way, than fussy bandaging and time spent cold hosing. Through my own experience and research, working closely with veterinary professionals and top riders across all disciplines, the Kentucky Tendon Grip wascreated. This clever tubular piece of elasticated fabric can be cut down to fit any horses' leg and can help horse owners in a number of ways: Prevention: Swollen legs can be caused by fly bites, strains, cuts and scratches, mud fever and can appear even after clipping. For minor incidents, the result is generally time off and medical attention, however with the Tendon Grip you can positively help prevent these problems by protecting the legs, whilst the horse is being worked, by using it underneath your horses' protective boots as a 'second skin'. Worn under your horse's protective boots also serves to support tendons and ligaments during athletic work and fast exercise. Icing: If your horses does sustain an injury that requires icing, this product also comes into its own, allowing you to insert ice-packs directly onto the area of the leg that is required, without risk of ice-burn or having to mess around with ice-boots, which can be both expensive and slip down as they defrost. Medical research shows that if you apply ice to an injury within 48 hours, ice can help reduce swelling and leaking blood vessels, thus helping to reduce inflammation and help reduce the level of soft tissue injury and therefore recovery time. These infrared images show a horse's stifle, tendon and pastern after exercise and you can see from the brightly coloured Red areas, how these parts really do become warm. Icing after exercise helps reduce this heating and with the Tendon Grip, you can apply ice to any part of the leg including difficult areas such as knees and hocks. Top international eventer Karin Donckers ices her horses before cross-country using our Tendon Grip, then simply removes the ice-packs and pops our Kentucky protective boots over the top -- ready to compete and afterwards, again a simple and quick solution to getting cold therapy quickly and effectively to those areas requiring attention. Other: The grip has also proved to be particularly helpful when applying poultices to the foot and for show horses, they are effective in helping to keep white socks clean before competitions.Shipping Notes

interesting analysis of what 'being creative' really means
This easy-to-read absorbing book is based on lengthy interviews with 91 creative individuals ranging from Nobel prize winners to artists to CEOs. Csikszentmihalyi starts by debunking the myth of 'the lone genius having a brilliant idea as if by magic' and defines three necessary ingredients for creativity ('with a capital "C"') - domain, field, and individual. Creativity must take place within a recognised domain (such as physics, painting and so forth); be recognised by experts in that domain (the field, although this may not happen in the individual's lifetime, eg, Van Gogh); and of course come from an individual, although he also adds the painstaking work that precedes and insight, the reality that all creativity builds on what has gone before, and the social elements of the creative process.
The book also offers supporting evidence from the lives of the 91 interviewed, which also provides interesting insights into their lives. In many ways, this book is a biography of the creative individual.
Also contains a chapter with quite practical guidance on how to live more creatively. Prescient advice for a book published in 1996 given the increasing profile creativity is getting in business and public life.
HIghly recommended, one of the most interesting learning experiences i have had in a long while!

Very enlightening for those who truly appreciate creativity more than cleverness!
Format: Paperback
I love how the author almost redefines creativity .and sheds new light (for me, at least!)on what what real-for-true creativity is and how it benefits individuals and society. It's far more than simply brightening up a room with new wallpaper and curtains -- it describes how genuine creativity requires a thorough working knowledge of the fundamentals of any given field before one can truly create something new or better, and it reveals how those of us who aren't capable of creating something ourselves can yet be part of the process by demonstrating appreciation and support for those who create, whether as sponsors, patrons, or even just ardent fans!

instructive but limited
The testimonies of creative people that give this book its flesh and blood provide fascinating examples of creative people at work. That said, if a journalist had written the book, it would be more readable, and I don't think any less of an intellectual contribution. Moreover, the definition of creativity is elitist and stunts the topic (as observed by other reviewers): "Creativity is any act, idea, or product that changes an existing domain, or that transforms an existing domain into a new one. And the definition of a creative person is: someone whose thoughts or actions change a domain, or establish a new domain. It is important to remember, however, that a domain cannot be changed without the explicit or implicit consent of a field responsible for it." Given the people interviewed, much more needs to be said about the function of social institutions in promoting creativity. Many of the accomplishments lauded in this book would never have happened without grant-making agencies (e.g., NSF, NIH, HHMI) or non-profit employers like research universities and hospitals. To offer just one obvious example of the difference made by one's institutional context, the author had advanced students to help him do his research for this book. The elitism of the definition is even clearer in the role that marketplace plays as a judge of creativity. None of us buys books from amazon.com because some official group validated amazon.com as a good idea. We didn't wait for computer programers to affirm and certify it. Amazon.com is not deemed successful because it impressed its peers. It is successful because millions of us purchase goods through it. Similarly, auto-executives did not make the minivan a successful idea, millions of shoppers did. (Obviously I don't think the marketplace fits into the author's definition of creativity. If 300 million American consumers comprise a domain with 300 million judges, then the word no longer has any useful meaning.) The definition also precludes that countless ephemeral acts of creativity that take place daily. I think instantly of two women I have worked with who were great at holidays. Their clever costumes or decorations brightened my day, adding a little element of surprise and delight. Their acts of creativity don't meet the definitions of this book. The way that creativity is defined in this book is simply a filtering mechanism by which the author selected the people he would interview. It is not a definition of creativity. It is only a description of a subsection of creativity, the kind where institutions provide paychecks to highly practiced individuals to work hard at what they love. I also found little new to take away and apply to my own social existence inside the organization where I work. Perhaps I can summarize my dissatisfaction by observing that the subtitle sets out an agenda for the psychology of creativity, but the definitional filter is intrinsically social. This disconnection sets the book up to fail. So, count this as a negative review, yes, but I did enjoy reading the testimonies of the people interviewed, and the author adds some value in the generalizations he draws. Still, much, much more could have been said.

Wise and Complete
Format: Paperback
I've read a lot of books, too many, on creativity, and this is by far the best, the most complete, the most interesting. The idea that creativity comes out of immersion in a domain or field seems absolutely right and the idea missed by so many other writers. I'm a writer and a painter and I've learned that I'm not going to be any better than the work I've come to know and love, that I have to live in that work. If you want to be a better string player, play with a better ensemble. In many ways a creative person is someone who is in a conversation with what has come before, with work that excites her, teaches her, challenges her. This book makes that plain. But he has other insights as well, especially about the creative personality, the interesting dichotomies. Just read the book.

Creativity which has the power to change the world
A few caveats to those who are generally interested in creativity studies: Csikszentmihalyi's analysis and discussion of creativity does not directly relate to those who are personally creative. People who enjoy engaging in creative activities are not demoted, in his terms, but are simply not a part of the study. It is unfortunate that his language makes it seem this way; he distinguishes between the two by saying that Creativity has the power to shape a domain or the world, while creativity applies to those who enjoy coming up with new recipes, who are engaged in research that may not change a domain, but may "tweak" it, etc.
What he is trying to discover are the underlying principles and traits of creativity in those whose work has made a significant change. Think Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mark Strand: people who are either widely known for their influence, or who have been influential within their area or domain.
This book provides an interesting view into the minds and work habits of Creative individuals, and concludes by offering general advice to those who wish to make their own lives and work more creative. It is a useful book, but one which requires a great deal of supplemental reading, in order to truly engage in creativity studies.
