Tying-up is a muscle condition in horses that has long plagued owners. From random one off episodes on warm sunny days to recurrent ones during exercise tying-up can result from many causes. Some, like Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy (PSSM1) are the result of a genetic condition that affects muscle metabolism, leading to muscle stiffness and pain. In this episode we discuss:- what defines recurrent tying-up- causes and symptoms of tying-up-breeds affected by PSSM 1-how to test for PSSM 1-appropriate feeding programs for horses with PPSM 1-management and exercise requirement for horses with PSSM1-and so much more!To learn more about the United States Pony Club HERE  Do you have questions about feeding your horse?
