Half of owners cannot identify equine lameness
Horse & Hound
|October 03, 2024
A study found many owners cannot tell when a horse is lame or sound
ONLY about half of owners can recognise equine forelimb lameness, and a third hindlimb issues and confidence in spotting problems does not necessarily match ability.
These were the findings of a study presented at the British Equine Veterinary Association Congress (11-14 September), by vet student Jade England.
The project involved a questionnaire that was completed by 509 people.
