ABSTRACT
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY 'Soring' is the term used to describe the application of an irritant to the distal forelimbs of gaited horses with the sole intent of inflicting pain and inducing altered gait, illegally practiced in Tennessee Walking Horses. Objective methods for the detection of limb pain due to this practice are, however, lacking. OBJECTIVES:
To assess whether Tennessee Walking Horses respond to manual pressuresRESULTS:
Mechanical nociceptive thresholdsCONCLUSIONS:
Reference MNTs of the pastern region of nontreated Tennessee Walking Horses provide an objective standard for the evaluation of those potentially applied irritant. POTENTIAL RELEVANCE Pressure algometry, in lieu of digital pressure, can quantify mechanical pressure applied during inspections to detect irritant therapy and provide consistency between examiners.
