Thank you. I figured all this out 20yrs ago with my horse and no one ever believed me. I have pictures and videos showing all these issues with my guy.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this. Just acquired a horse with PSSM1. Previous owners did not treat him for condition. Hoping to catch up and manage appropriately. Very very helpful.

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.

How do you treat this or get tested for it?

[@PSSMAwareness]

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

[@PSSMAwareness]

If the horses muscles get tight after 5 minutes cease exercise as the horse is exercise intolerant
Continuing to exercise a horse with tight muscles could cause serious muscle damage.

Is the only test for PSSM2 a muscle biopsy?

[@PSSMAwareness]

No there are 3 available options to test for PSSM2 this is muscle bisopy, the hair strand test, and a blood or semen sample that gets sent to the same lab as the hair strand test
