Equine endocrine disorders such as Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) feature some striking clinical similarities, most notably a predisposition to the development of chronic laminitis. However, the underlying disease biology is quite different in each case.

The graphic below describes some key differences to be aware of between the two diseases.

If you have questions or concerns about your horse in regard to EMS or PPID, contact your veterinarian so that they may further evaluate them.

Thank you to the Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

Nice article on lameness workups from the British Horse Society

Lameness can come from any part of the horse’s body and alter the way they move, behavioural traits and their ability to perform.

2 key points about lameness in the horse (or any animal!)

1. Lameness = Pain

2. Horses can't 'put it on'. When the pain goes away they stop being lame. That's why nerve blocks are so helpful in diagnosing even chronic lameness.

Preventing Stomach Ulcers in Horses
1. Limit stressful situations such as changes in the herd/housing, stabling or paddocking in isolation and competitions/travel.
2. Feed frequently and provide free-choice
access to grass or hay. This is imperative to neutralise stomach acids and stimulate saliva production.
3. Feed a small amount of hay before riding to coat the stomach wall and help reduce acid hitting the wall during exercise.
4. Horses at greatest risk will benefit from medication to decrease acid production.

Signs of Colic - can you suggest some?!

03/08/2024

Cold weather colic!
We have been seeing quite a few colics recently, often attributed to the colder weather. You can aid in preventing colic in your horse by ensuring they remain WELL HYDRATED through the colder months by providing WARM WATER daily and WETTING DOWN their feed. Continue to offer plenty of ROUGHAGE and be extra OBSERVANT when there have been CHANGES in the weather, paddock or your horse's routine.
