*Red's Stringhalt, video 1

my 14.2hh arab cross welsh 4 year old has this, im actually so sad, i dont want him too die :(

He doesn't have to die. Stringhalt is not a killer.

Make sure you watch my other videos. I cured Red through nutrition, perhaps this is the answer for your horse too?

i read an artical on SH and it says there is no cure and it gets worse as your horse gets older and her horse had too be destroyed. so if there is no cure will he have too be destroyed. My pony has stringhault because he was beaten up bassically by my stallion x

If it is nerve damage, then it might get better if you work on it NOW. First, raise the horses magnesium, selenium and Vit E intake; next consider an accupuncture treatment and chiropractice work. MY horse got better using all of those. As always consult several vets, not just one, and one specializing in lameness issues would be best. Good luck.

Why did you cut all the hair off the tail?
I had a friend that had an old thouroughbred mare that had SH. I fel so bad for them when they get it=(

My horse had stringhalt this severe the day I found out she had an infected piece of floating pedal bone and needed a £2600 operation.
This was six months after I bought her.
She's a psychotic chestnut thoroughbred mare (lethal combo)
Any advice please?

Hi! What I have learned is that SH can come from two possibilities. The first is injury and the second, ingestion of certain weeds. From your comment, I'm assuming you are in England? If so, the ingestion part is def. a possibility. My vet had me raise 3 things in Red's diet: Vit E to 5000-7000 IU; Selenium to 1 mg, and Magnesium to 5 mg. For you, I'd suggest the Mag is most important according to my research. Good luck. Let me know if it helps!

I am new to the horse owning community and this is the first time I've researched SH. Did you just add suppliments to Red's diet? Were they OTC? I am wondering if this would help mine.

do you have the name of the weeds that were ingested. what did the vet recommend for diet
