Shivers-Stringhalt Syndrome

Resource Library

We have assembled a library of information pertaining to Shivers and Stringhalt. Note that our own pilot study and our presentation on the history of this condition are at the top of this page. We’ve also assembled a history of information dating as far back as 1930. All of this helps us understand this condition and informs our treatment. Think about the information and how it relates to your own horse and your own experiences. Educate yourself and learn, so you can ask questions!
