To Better Assess Lameness in Horses, Researchers Use Technology to Define Normal Muscle Activity

“We know that horses alter their movement pattern when they’re lame, but we don’t know much about the functional changes in muscles that facilitate these changes in movement,” said Dr. Lindsay St. George, Research Fellow at UCLan, and the study’s primary investigator. “We want to define muscle activity in clinically sound, non-lame horses, and then use this knowledge to quantify adaptive changes in muscle activity that occur when a horse is lame.”

Insulin Resistance or Insulin Dysregulation?

Insulin resistance (IR) means the insulin-responsive cells — muscle, fat, liver — do not take up glucose normally in response to insulin. As a result, the pancreas puts out higher levels of insulin until the glucose blood levels normalize. This is one explanation for why blood insulin levels would be higher than normal.

Fly Control Tips for Happy, Healthy Horses 

Summer sores are caused by house flies, face flies and stable flies, as they transfer parasitic nematode larvae (Habronema species) to moist areas around a horse’s open wounds, eyes, nostrils, mouth and genitalia. When the larvae create a hypersensitivity reaction, chronic, fleshy and non-healing wounds can result, known as summer sores. The condition is costly and can require months off from riding and training as the infected horse heals.
