I have been researching this problem for over 3 years. I am looking for several more case studies. If you are willing to email or fax me information on your horse, I will keep you and your horse's name confidental. I wrote a brief article for the August Paint Horse Journal and received a lot of positive responses. There are things that you can do to make this better for your horse so that he/she can live a long and useful life. The symptoms include biting at flanks, knees, and the chest to the point of causing some very bad gashes and tears. A report will be published when I am finished and you will be able to read other case studies. The most common treatment is to tranquilize the horse...
