Shedding season is right around the corner! 🌸

However, you notice that your equine friend is clinging to their winter coat longer than they should, it might be time to give your veterinarian a call — especially if your animal is 15+.

A long haircoat that fails to shed according to normal seasonal patterns is the most classic sign of Equine Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID), also known as Cushing’s disease. This disorder of the pituitary gland results in hormonal imbalances and is one of the most common diseases of middle-aged and geriatric equines.

Early diagnosis and treatment are key to helping animals with PPID live long, happy lives. Without treatment, symptoms tend to worsen over time, and many equines are euthanized as a consequence of laminitis, recurrent foot abscesses or complications related to bacterial infections.

It is also important to note that donkeys and mules tend to shed later than horses, so keep this in mind before getting too worried about other underlying causes. As always, if you have concerns about if your equine companion is shedding appropriately, contact your veterinarian.

How horses whinny has long been a mystery. The sound is quite distinct from any other in the animal kingdom. And now scientists think they’ve discovered why: horses whinny by producing sounds at two frequencies at the same time—much like singing and whistling simultaneously.

The findings, which were published on Monday in Current Biology, suggest horses produce sounds at two frequencies in two distinct ways in their larynx, or voice box. A low-frequency sound of about 200 hertz is produced by vibrating the vocal cords, just as we do while singing. And a high-frequency sound of more than 1,000 hertz is produced by whistling within the larynx.

In general, the larger an animal—and its larynx—is, the lower the frequency of sound it produces. Meanwhile smaller critters, such as mice, produce high-frequency whistles. But this study suggests that horses are unique in their ability to whistle and vibrate their vocal cords at the same time, the authors write. http://spklr.io/6042DIxVw
