I have probably struggled over stringhalt more than any other condition in either man or beast. |
Some horses develop stringhalt after an injury such as having a leg caught up in a fence while others have no known initiating cause. |
The stringhalt we get here is specifically known as Australian stringhalt and always resolves itself. |
Most scientists believe the cause of stringhalt is from certain neuromuscular conditions. |
My daughter has a 9 year old gelding who has a very mild form of stringhalt in his near hind leg only. |
In some non-toxicity cases stringhalt has been cured by cutting a tendon that is near the hock. |
