🐴 Why Are So Many Domesticated Horses Lame?

This week, we dive into a fascinating question from , a Veterinary Physiotherapy student who asked:

“I’m really fascinated with free-living horses and how their locomotion and conformation may differ from our domesticated horses. We are always taught how horses should be, but what is actually best for them given the circumstances?”

Lameness is alarmingly common in domestic horses, but why? Could it be linked to breeding choices, environments, or modern care practices? 🌾 In the wild, free-living horses have evolved to thrive in specific conditions, yet domesticated horses often face challenges that clash with their genetic design.

In our latest blog, we explore:
✨ The impact of breeding on movement and resilience
🌍 How environments shape equine health
🛠️ Practical tips to help horses align with their natural needs

💡 Let’s start a conversation:
• Have you adapted your horse’s care to suit their unique needs?
• What have you noticed about how breed, environment, or movement patterns affect your horse’s health?
