Hereditary equine regional dermal asthenia (HERDA), also known as hyperelastosis cutis (HC), is an inherited connective tissue disorder. It weakens the collagen fibers that holds the skin of the horse onto the rest of the animal. Affected horses have extremely fragile skin that tears easily and does not heal well. There is no cure. Most affected individuals receive an injury and cannot heal, and are euthanized. Many injuries occur from day to day activities such as riding the horse, driving the horse, and horses playing in the field with each other. The skin is so fragile that the saddle can rip it from the underlying tissue. Managed breeding strategy is currently the only option for reducing the incidence of the disease.

The disease is found primarily in the American Quarter Horse, specifically in cutting horse lines. Affected horses have been found to trace to the stallion Poco Bueno, or possibly, farther back to one of his ancestors. Researchers have now named four deceased Quarter Horse stallions that were carriers and produced at least one affacted HERDA foal; they are Dry Doc, Doc O'Lena, Great Pine, and Zippo Pine Bar. These stallions all trace to Poco Bueno through his son and daughter Poco Pine and Poco Lena. Other breeds affected are the American Paint Horse (APHA), and the Appaloosa (ApHC) and any other breed registry that allows outcrossing to AQHA horses. There are DNA tests available to determine if horses are negative, a carrier, or affected. It is highly recommended that breeding pairs have this genetic test to avoiding mating carriers to each other.

You may wonder why we pull back into the syringe when giving injections in the vein. This picture explains why. We don't pull back to make sure we're in the vessel, we do it to make sure we're in the RIGHT vessel. Today I went to give an injection and pulled back and saw blood brighter than I wanted. I decided to go and get a new dose of sedation and once again pulled back and then gave my dose of sedation. The syringe on the left was my first injection and the syringe on the right was my second injection. Does anyone know why I shouldn't have injected that first syringe? And had I injected that first injection, what would have happened?

It’s important to learn how to give horses injections. Amy Armentrout, DVM, shares important directions for doing so correctly and safely.

🌟Dentals 🌟

Don’t forget to get your equine athlete’s teeth checked at least once a year!

Not only does a dental improve the way your horse eats, it can also reduce behavioral issues caused by pain from the sharp points.
