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 $

Stringholt in horses?
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.
The cure for distemper?
"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 how do they behave badly?
Horses can buck like if you have ever watched a rodeo ou will know what I am talking about. They can also rear, which is when a horse raises up on his hind legs which sometimes can be quite frightening to beginner riders. They also can shy which is when they are afraid of something and they jump away from it. Horses can also have bad behavior in the stall. Some horses when they get nervous, will weave. This is when horse stands with his head over the stall and waves it back and forth. Also, when a horse is bored, he will cribb. This is when he bites/chews on the wood either on the fences out int he field or in his stall. This behavior is very common in horses and is the hardest to cure. It is also unhealthy for them to eat the wood.
