Floating Teeth

HYPP in Horses
Equine Newsletter 1st Quarter 2004
Authored By: Dr. Cory Reng
These (H/H) horses will pass the trait on to 100% of their offspring. While the genetic test does a good job determining whether or not your horse will pass HYPP on to offspring, it does not predict how severe symptoms may be. For example, a (N/H) horse may die of an HYPP attack while a (H/H) horse may never have severe symptoms, especially if managed correctly.

rather than behind them. The closer to the horse you stand, the
safer you are. It is best if your hip is touching the horses hip. They
need leverage to get in a kick. If you stand close, you mostly get
bumped with a hock. The best place to give the shot is in the
muscle near the tail, at the point where... [More]
