Stringhalt

While there has been a small amount of rain on the radar, unfortunately the extended dry period into Autumn this year has left many paddocks carrying w**ds rather than pasture. In the past fortnight we have had several cases of stringhalt recorded in our region.

Australian stringhalt is a neurological condition where horses exhibit involuntary, exaggerated flexion of the hock joint when moving the hindlimbs. The condition can affect one or both limbs and horses may also exhibit a hoarse roar when they whinny.

Flatw**d, dandelion and marshmallow w**d are the most commonly implicated. It is postulated that these plants produce toxic metabolites that impact the peripheral nerves, causing the gait abnormality. The condition can be progressive, with the gait abnormality becoming more severe over time.

Horses with stringhalt often recover spontaneously when removed from the toxic pastures, but recovery can take months and some horses will not recover. For other horses, the stringhalt action will spontaneously re-appear during moments of stress, long after apparent recovery.

There is no specific treatment for stringhalt - removing horses from the toxic pastures and providing adequate nutrition and support are the current recommendations. Supplementation with thiamine (Vitamin B1), Vitamin E and magnesium is recommended. Taurine is another supplement that has anecdotally helped some horses. Badly affected cases may need sedative based medication to keep calm and rested while recovering.

If you have concerns about your horse, please call the clinic on (03) 52 488 899.
