Horses are often confined to small paddocks to help reduce movement. Soft tissue and bone strengthen with exercise and weaken if it is not actively used. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] Horses that undergo long-term stall rest require a slow, progressive rehabilitation program to try to prevent re-injury of the original tissue or injury to a new area now ...
Equine sarcoid, a naturally occurring skin tumour affecting horses, donkeys and mules, is associated with strains of BPV-1/2 which may be equine specific. [11] The lesions can occur anywhere on the body, often multiply, with the limbs, thorax–abdomen, head and paragenital areas being particularly commonly affected.
Skin lesions probably due to Habronema Horse recovering from skin lesions probably due to Habronema, after treatment with ivermectin. For most horses, the lesions will resolve by the end of summer. Topical or systemic treatment with Ivermectin is effective against Habronemiasis. Ivermectin or moxidectin can eliminate nematodes in the stomach.

It does not contain any cell wall and is therefore resistant to penicillin and other beta lactam antibiotics. Mycoplasma bovis mainly affects cattle and has little effect on other production animals. It does not affect horses and or pet animals, but other animals can be carriers for Mycoplasma bovis . [ 1 ]
Additionally, horses with a hind limb lameness will tend to reduce the degree of leg use. To do so, some horses will reduce the contraction time of the gluteals on the side of the lame leg, leading to a "hip roll" or "hip dip" and appearance that the hip drops a greater degree on the side of the lame leg.

The skin is loose, and hyper-elastic in affected horses. This collagen based abnormality affects their heart valves too and their mechanical properties are found to be inferior to native horses. [2] Symptoms typically don’t appear until the horse is subjected to pressure or injury on their back, neck or hips, usually around two years of age.
