Check your grain especially oaks for chemicals!!!!?!?

Great work ❤❤

Does feeding pro biotic with polysaccharides compound the problem?

What prevents them to move? Muscles?

The example of explosive behavior is so helpful. My horse started presenting with explosive behavior last year, and it turns out he had EPM. So we treated him and he is doing wonderfully now. Fortunately he only had One explosive event on the ground and two in the saddle before I figured out that something was wrong and had him checked.

What a wondeful explanation, thank you x

Did she ever have a fever with a flare up?

Would love to see a vid on cures of tying up.

He's a gelding 😂 this tie up was brought on by eating acorns (high sugar content)

Omg this brought tears to my eyes…

Wonderful information. So many of these horses are out there. A lot of times bought then sold without ever being diagnosed. Thank you again for the studied information. It’s priceless❤

Thank you for your Videos. I have a N/P8 Mare. She has respiratory issus so i can defenetly confirm that.

Thanks so much for presenting this in way to understand!

Vielen Dank, dass du immer weiter dranbleibst! 🤗

Thats so like my older mare

Can this be ordered for USA horses?

You can send a hair sample to test for PSSM 2? I was told by my vet only a muscle biopsy was the way to test for PSSM2 and hair was PSSM 1.

Very helpful thanks 🙏

❤❤❤She’s lucky to have found you ❤❤❤

Does it hurt them tying up?

So when this happens what can be done to help??

This is so helpful thank you, im about to send mine off and its been a bit confusing

With the twitching- if they are twitching on the shoulder and flank pretty consistently (horse not tested but I’m going to test because I think he may have it) would that be considered a fail as well?

If for instance the horse's muscles got tight after the 5 mins of exercise, would you cease exercise immediately and return to stall, or walk it out, do stretches, or ? TIA

What to do when he is doing it under the saddle? Shall I get down?

You make me want to be a better person. You are late to the party > "promosm" .

I don't know what to do anymore

My mare also

So sorry for the loss of Karlos…I too own a pssm horse who is now 14. It’s been a heartbreaking journey. I am proud of you and my heart goes out for you. Thank you thank you for your video and plea! I was told by the registry about 7 years ago that it was “ok” to breed her, which I would never do. I knew something was wrong from purchasing her as a yearling but it would take years to get a proper diagnosis. I’m sharing your video because it is of such importance to get the word out about this terrible abnormality. You are brave and kind. Thank you!!! On behalf of all horses with this disorder and their loving, tireless, owners!

Is it possible for a horse to camp out with only one hind leg at a time with PSSM2?

Kopf hoch, du schaffst das. Mit meinem PSSM 1 und 2-Wallach habe ich eine andere Qualität des Zusammenseins gefunden. Ich gehe jeden Tag zu ihm und frage: "Na, was möchtest du heute tun? Brauchst du eine Massage, willst du dich bewegen - Bodenarbeit oder Spazieren gehen?" Es geht nicht mehr darum was ich möchte, sondern was mein Pferd braucht zum Glücklichsein ohne Schmerzen. Und wenn er glücklich ist, dann bin ich es auch. Ich überlege mir immer wieder neue Dinge, die wir miteinander tun können. Da ist das Reiten nicht mehr wichtig.

I can´t bear to watch the poor horse being ridden as it is clearly not able to move. Why must people ride a horse with these symptoms?

Another possibility to relieve muscle tightness: trigger point massage, keeping warm: put on a warm horse planket for the night and/or bad weather, physiotherapy (Masterson Method, you can do this yourself once learned). I do this alternating with 20 minutes of suppling exercises in hand which I end before another tightening could begin.

Where can I find the pet/pat test??

Is the only test for PSSM2 a muscle biopsy?

A lot of quarter horses show these problems. A LOT!

Thank you!!!!! Thank you. A trainer recently lunged my hypp/pssm1 QH. Trainer Did not understand why horse would do a beautiful extended trot then buck when asked for a canter. She didn’t believe me when I suggested it was his genetic disorders. I will share this video with the trainer.

Excellent video. Thank you!!

So sorry Christine 😕

Can you do a video of your feeding routine with him? Obviously different than what we have here in the US but it would be so cool to see

I am a NZ microbiologist (scientist of “small biology”) and I have horses… this was brilliant information about a rampant equine disease.

Hi were do you get your pea protein from and what brand .

I love these vlogs! I find them very helpful and reassuring.

I'm so sorry for you both!

Came home after a frustrating attempt to ride my pssm1/hypp horse who is my recent acquisition and whom i just moved to a different barn so he could have more room to move on his own in a large stall-attached turnout (dry turn-out as i am in Cali). So frustrated at his reluctance to move. Appreciate your openness.

thinking of you, it's certainly a difficult issue to cope with .

Oh I felt for you so bad during this video 😪 hope he makes improvement soon 🤞

The horses in video have very clear symptoms- the most difficult cases have very subtle symptoms. And what’s worse is the symptoms may not show up when vet shows up- on and off lameness, just not using their back end correctly. It took me forever to figure out what was happening and vet was no help.

I'm so pleased that you said about loads of reasons for putting a horse to sleep. Sadly, we lost our mare and strongly believe she has had recurrent episodes and one was just to bad after she showed very severe neurological problems.
