My horse does the same thing…it’s been a journey trying to figure out how to help him. He will loose weight and get ulcers from it too. Any tips on how I should help him?
She was boarded at my stable. The owner wasn’t happy with me sharing the video. All HYPP horses trace back to Impressive- but not all impressive bred horses carry HYPP. There’s a simple test kit.
@@karenvalli7659 it isn’t necessary to test EVERY horse, only those with Impressive in the pedigree and if parents tested negative for HYPP then it isn’t necessary to test any more. Even with a positive horse bred to a positive horse there is only a 25% - 50% chance of getting a positive testing offspring, depending on if the parents are double or single negative. However these episodes can be avoided even in a positive horse if fed the correct type of hay. Obviously this horse was fed the wrong feed to cause such an episode. Did the owner tell the barn owner this horse was positive so that alfalfa hay would not be fed to this horse?
Poor horse is tearing itself apart. Must be agony.

I would think that selective breeding could eventually eliminate this. It’s awful. My friends horse had the same problem….he was a QH Appy.
People breed this deliberately because they want the look that comes with it.
It could be eliminated easily by not breeding any horse who carries it.
Do electrolytes help
Sire and dam?
Doesn't matter.. Just test every piece of stock you have that has qh, app or paint blood..
