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.
