My vet has told me there is a stringhalt surgery, but I want to make sure that that's what it is first. |
Horses with stringhalt can walk, canter and gallop quite well but they cannot trot properly. |
Some horses develop stringhalt after an injury such as having a leg caught up in a fence while others have no known initiating cause. |
In some non-toxicity cases stringhalt has been cured by cutting a tendon that is near the hock. |
My daughter has a 9 year old gelding who has a very mild form of stringhalt in his near hind leg only. |
Foot-ball produces what may be called the endogenous or ingrowing toenail, stringhalt and mania. |
