Stringhalt in horses is generally classified into two primary types: acquired and idiopathic. Idiopathic stringhalt, also known as classic or true stringhalt, arises without a clearly identifiable cause. It may be associated with nerve damage resulting from trauma to areas such as the back, neck, or hind limbs. Unlike the acquired form, idiopathic stringhalt does not typically occur in outbreaks and may not resolve on its own, often requiring more intensive management or intervention.

As the chill of winter sets in, ensuring your horse remains in peak health requires some preparation. While horses are naturally equipped to handle colder temperatures, they still need a helping hand to stay comfortable and thriving throughout the season.

Often joint issues are seen as an issue for older horses, but our focus should be on supporting joint health throughout a horse's whole life.
