Equine lameness refers to a condition in horses where they exhibit an abnormal gait or difficulty in movement. This can result from various issues, including injuries, joint problems, or hoof conditions. Identifying the specific cause of lameness is crucial for effective treatment and rehabilitation. Common signs of lameness include limping, reluctance to move, or changes in behavior during exercise. Veterinarians often perform physical examinations and diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, to determine the underlying issue. Proper care and management can help restore a horse's mobility and overall well-being.
