Stringhalt video Before...

Hitching’ a leg, lifting hind limbs too high are degrees of stringhalt.

"Hi There. I have a little mini that looks like she has developed stringhalt. What I thought was dandelion on closer inspection looks more like Cat’sEar! The pony looks staggery and she is lifting her back legs too high. I have taken them off all the grass – they were grazing on very old rank grass but looks like the Cat’sEar appealed to them more. I'm syringing every few hours with GrazeEzy and SOS (about a tablespoon of each dissolved in water)"

This was Tuesday. Ginny had already started doing all the right things which was great. This pony is a good example of how there can be several issues (stiffness, staggers, & stringhalt) but because they are all mineral imbalances they respond to the same treatment. The ‘After’ video was 24 hours later.
