this is the foot of a horse just after initial trimming. The horse has a problem called Equine Metabolic Syndrome, in which it has problems digesting and processing small chain sugars. When this horse was eating grass it was getting lots of easy to digest sugars, which lead to a very high spike in its insulin level. For reasons still not properly understood, this leads to laminitis. In this case it had not lead to rotation yet, but there is clear fresh blood in the white line wit also some yellow color, which is caused by serum leaking into the white line.
The horse was suddenly quite lame and that is why the owner brought it to our clinic.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!

Treatment is ice, supportive shoeing and phenylbutazone and STRICT DIET with "no sugars". (older hay, soaked to remove all easy to digest sugars), NO GRASS AT ALL) and a senior feed with low short chain sugars.

Op een locatie in de omgeving van Arnhem is de neurologische vorm van rhinopneunomie (EHV1) vastgesteld. Enkele paarden waren ernstig verlamd en moesten helaas worden geëuthanaseerd. De andere paarden tonen op dit moment geen problemen. De op deze stal aanwezige paarden zullen de locatie de komende...

In het artikel wordt gesproken over een anatomische houding maar wat is dit voor houding en hoe weet of je de ook echt aanneemt.

Hoe doe jij dit?

Laat het ons weten.

Jullie hebben vast allemaal wel eens in de les gehoord: 'handen rechtop! Houd contact met de mond van je paard!' Maar als je dit nou moeilijk vindt, lees dan verder. Op dressuurmagazine.nl vonden wij goede tips voor de juiste handhouding. Waarom is de juiste handhouding zo belangrijk? Misschien vraa...

Nice feature in Horse and Hound featuring collaborative research in to race saddles and gallop kinematics - cool study! 😃

Alleen in November.?

Nee

Dit zou je ong 10 min per keer dat je rijdt moeten. Het voordeel is dat je makkelijker een balans en het effect van een paardenrug onder je gaat voelen.

Begin gewoon eens makkelijk
Bij het instappen of uitdraven.
En zeker bij het draven; begin met een lange zijde en bouw dit op.

Maar zodra je merkt dat je niet meer correct zit
of beweegt, ga je terug naar je basis ; Zitten en Voelen.

Ga niet als. de bekende zandzak zitten of als houten klaas.

Neem de juiste houding aan in stap.
Voel wat er gebeurd met je rug en onderbuikspieren.

Succes met deze tip.

Laat eens weten hoe het gaat na een week en of je verschil merk.

Voor Amerikaanse ruiters is ‘No Stirrup November’ misschien wel de minst geliefde traditie: een héle maand lang rijden zonder stijgbeugels. Het doet wonderen voor je balans, zelfvertrouwen en houding. Wanneer je nooit zonder beugels rijdt, is het natuurlijk best beangstigend om aan mee te doen....

** New Research Published**

"The effect of tree width on thoracolumbar and limb kinematics, saddle pressure distribution and thoracolumbar dimensions in sports horses in trot and canter" has been published in world respected journal, Animals.

This has been such an exciting research project highlighting the importance of correct saddle fit. This research has been presented at ICEEP, Australia, BEVA Congress 2018 and BEVA Congress 2019 and now published - plus this study quantified spinal kinematics beneath the saddle - super cool.

The paper will be open access and will be available shortly.

As always a massive thanks to the Co-Authors for all their help and support; Erik MacKechnie, Vanessa Fairfax, Diana Fisher, Mark Fisher and Thilo Pfau and all of the riders, research assistants, horses and owners.

A massive thank you to the Society of Master Saddlers for their support in part funding this research.

Exciting 🙂

Soms is instabiliteit bij paarden wel te ondekken maar in sommige gevallen heb je er meer voor nodig.

Lumbosacral instability

This is a unique story!

The horse in this case report is an 8 year old eventer. Since his owner has him (2 years) he is difficult to ride and lately has bucked off several people. When he does, it is unprovoked and violent and he keeps bucking until his rider is gone. Otherwise he is a sweetheart of a horse.
Initially we diagnosed him with damage to his Supraspinous ligament in the lumbar region. Rehab went well, and the lesion healed, but the horse’s behavior got worse after initial improvement.
At the next visit we found a weird pattern of sensation in his hind end, he seemed very sensitive at skin tests in the area from the lumbosacral junction to the tail, only on the right side. Even weirder, his a**l reflex was abnormal only on the right side.
This neurological pattern can only be explained with damage close to the spinal cord in the lumbosacral region with compression of root nerves as well as some spinal damage, only to the right side.
All other findings were normal, no lameness other than RH shorter stride, no abnormal findings at his lameness exam.
Imaging in this region is impossible (only MRI would give useful information, but a horse will not fit in a MRI scanner with its pelvic region), but at a repeated exam 2 months later the neurological abnormalities were exactly the same.
Based on our physical exam only, we had several options to explain this problem:
1/damage to the disk at the lumbosacral junction with protruding of the disk to the right side into the spinal ca**l and damage to the meninges (layers of tissue around the spinal cord)
2/tumor in the spinal ca**l, this was a grey horse, so a melanoma would be a possibility
3/possible EPM with very one-sided lesion.
Based on the fact we found the damaged Supraspinous ligament in the same region earlier, we thought trauma to this region causing damage to the lumbosacral junction was most likely.

The owner of the horse fully understood what was going on, and saw the horse was in pain and suffering from a problem we could not solve, and followed our advice to put the horse down.

At necropsy we found that the last lumbar vertebra had moved a bit downward from the sacral bone, causing instability. As a result, the disk in between the last lumbar vertebra and the sacral bone slipped a bit ( 1 in the picture)and was protruding into the spinal ca**l (2 in the picture). The spinal cord showed old and new bleeding in the same region (3 in the picture), damaging the meninges.
So finally the horse had major trauma to the lumbosacral region in the past (probably a fall) with damage to the meninges, which caused radiating pain in his right pelvic region and some swelling of the spinal cord, leading to the weird a**l reflex. Every time he would come under behind, the protruding disk would push into the spinal cord and the meninges, causing sharp burning and stabbing pain. No wonder he bucked so violently.

This case shows how important it is to do a good physical exam on any case with behavioral issues, this was not behavioral but caused by severe pain to the spinal cord! As you can imagine, this is not a problem that can easily be detected, so you need a specialist in sports medicine to find this!
