Tying-up is a muscle condition in horses that has long plagued owners. From random one off episodes on warm sunny days to recurrent ones during exercise tying-up can result from many causes. Some, like Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy (PSSM1) are the result of a genetic condition that affects muscle metabolism, leading to muscle stiffness and pain. In this episode we discuss:
- what defines recurrent tying-up
- causes and symptoms of tying-up
-breeds affected by PSSM 1
-how to test for PSSM 1
-appropriate feeding programs for horses with PPSM 1
-management and exercise requirement for horses with PSSM1
-and so much more!
