to be honest there really isn't one. Massage Therapy helps and so does hock injections. Joint supplments is a good idea to, all of these at once would be in the best interest of the horse. Keep in mind all this may require some $
DSLD is a genetic disease as far as anyone can tell and unless the breeding of horses with this condition stops then the disease will continue to spread. To help the horse you can cold hose the leg and apply poultices. You can also make some dietary and shoeing changes to help relieve the stress on the tendons.
If you mean 'stringhalt,' it's a condition in which the horse involuntarily jerks his hind legs up in the back as he moves. It isn't painful or dangerous, but is unsightly and can make him clumsier. It can vary from violent yanking up of the foot with every step to a mild extra flexion in the hock. Some horses show symptoms all the time while some don't, and the symptoms can appear in one or both hind legs. It's exact causes are as of yet unkown, but it can be treated by surgically removing the tendon that causes the flexion.
"Equine distemper" is actually infection with Streptococcus equi which causes Strangles. Prevention of Strangles involves minimizing contact with horses or items that have been in contact with horses that have Strangles, have been exposed to Strangles or have recovered from Strangles recently. Quarantine of horses coming into a facility also helps to prevent Strangles by allowing time to ensure that the new horse is disease free before exposing horses to it. Cleaning and disinfecting all buckets, feeders, bridles, etc prior to sharing them between horses is another way to reduce the spread of disease. There are vaccines against Strangles as well, but they are not highly effective and have higher risk of adverse reactions associated with them so they are only recommended for horses in situations where there is a high risk of exposure to Strangles.
Horses are just called "horses" unless they are in a group together. When horses get in a group together, they are then called a "herd".
A dozen horses is usually called a 'string' of horses.

In the vast majority of cases, blindness in horses is incurable. This is because blindness in horses tends to be due to either a severe infection within the eye that has scarred the retina, cornea or lens or due to a neoplasm in the eye that has obliterated the tissues.

There is no perfect cure for a horse's voice, as horses do not have vocal cords like humans. If a horse is experiencing hoarseness or other vocal issues, it is best to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
No, there is no definite cure. In some cases muscle relaxants, anticonvulsants or other drugs that affect the nervous system may provide some relief. There is also a surgical procedure that may provide some relief, but the the results are variable.
I have never heard of 'Cow' Vetch, but i have heard of Crown Vetch and it is toxic to horses. It is best to remove the plant from your property, and feeding alfalfa can help to 'cure' the poisoning. However there is another type of Vetch that is perfectly fine to feed to horses, but is a legume like alfalfa hay and should be fed sparingly.
Very , one berry & its goodbye. Look for bleeding from eyes & backend . there is no cure or antidote . may not be seen in cattle that live with it all the time but if cattle are introduced from areas that do not have it then they are most at risk.
You don't free the horses, you cure them. The game isn't over, you can carry on with the game as normal, except there are no objectives to complete. But you can go around taming all the mustangs and do the bonus mode where you win the rest of your grooming stuff Ect.
