Stringhalt is a condition in horses characterized by an abnormal, exaggerated flexion of one or both hind legs during movement, often causing a jerky or "stringy" appearance. It can be caused by various factors, including nerve damage or irritation, and may be associated with certain dietary deficiencies or environmental factors. While mild cases may not significantly impact a horse's performance, more severe instances can lead to noticeable lameness and require veterinary intervention for management. Treatment options may include adjustments in diet, physical therapy, or medications to alleviate symptoms.
