"This horse is 3 out of 5 lame."
You've probably heard this a million times. But do you ACTUALLY know what a person is talking about if they use this expression to describe lameness in horses?

Because each horse has unique performance characteristics, evaluating lameness can be challenging; lameness may appear as a barely noticeable shortening of the stride, or the condition may be so severe that the horse will not bear weight on the affected limb. With such extremes possible, a lameness grading system has been developed by the AAEP to aid both communication and record-keeping. The graphic below illustrates the zero-to-five AAEP lameness scale, with zero being no perceptible lameness, and five being most extreme.

When lameness occurs or is suspected, you should contact your veterinarian promptly. An early examination can save you time, money and frustration by diagnosing and treating the problem immediately, possibly preventing further damage. Read more about lameness in horses on our website at https://aaep.org/horsehealth/lameness-exams-evaluating-lame-horse, and consult your veterinarian to learn how you can become a better observer and steward for your equine friend!
