Though once considered a rare issue seen primarily in older performance horses, increasing research and awareness have revealed that DSLD is more widespread and complex than originally thought, with systemic implications affecting multiple soft tissues throughout the body - not just the limbs.

This condition refers to the development of bony growth or scarring around the pastern or coffin joint, usually as a response to joint strain, bruising, or unresolved inflammation. Over time, the affected tissue lays down a ring of bone in an attempt to stabilise the area - a natural process, but one that can compromise soundness and cause discomfort if not supported properly.

There are two types of PSSM. Both types have an abnormal type of glycogen staining in muscle biopsies, and the types can be distinguished by genetic testing. At present there is not a specific genetic test for type 2 PSSM and scientists do not have conclusive evidence of an inherited gene.

A hoof abscess can cause a horse owner to panic when the horse is suddenly suffering from severe lameness with no visible injury. A hoof abscess is pus in the hoof that can be dealt with quickly and cleanly, however, complications can develop...

Paterson's Curse is an annual (occasionally biennial) plant that grows in autumn and winter and produces flowering stalks in spring and early summer. What we need to understand is the horse's natural behaviours and instincts; our feeding and farm management practices; and our pasture as a natural system all together, and then make simple accommodations to ensure that we don't force our horses into a situation where they poison themselves.

Diet and understanding what is required nutritionally is our main focus. Herbs are about peak nutrition. What concerns me is the misunderstanding now that diet is a "science" (as all feed companies will tell us!) and that common sense no longer applies...
