I own an American Paint horse named Stella. She is four years old, and I've owned her for about two years, although I have known her since she was born. She was recently diagnosed with shivers and stringhalt, which are typically untreatable conditions. However, there is at least one vet in the US that specializes in giving long term treatment for these horses, so I had her looked at and treated by this vet. It has been about a month and a half since her first series of injection treatments, and I love the progress I am seeing! I will try to post some of the changes that I am seeing, but I would love to hear your questions or experiences with these conditions!

I'd love to hear more about the conditions and how they are being treated

Some more about what shivers is from Michigan State University:

"Shivers or shivering are names that have been applied to a chronic neuromuscular syndrome in horses that has been recognized for centuries. It has been stated that the condition is reasonably common, uncommon, and rare to very rare. In a comparative neuropathology textbook published in 1962 it was stated that “in the heyday of equine practice” shivering was “as common as dirt.” Most horses with Shivers begin to show signs before 5 years of age, and the majority of cases (74% of horses surveyed in a recent study) are progressive in severity. Usually horses with Shivers will show signs before age 10. Both genders can be affected, but geldings are three times more likely to be diagnosed with the disorder. Horses over 16.3 hands tall are also more susceptible than shorter horses.The syndrome affects several breeds, including draft horses, Warmbloods and Warmblood crosses, and occasionally lighter breeds of horses, including light harness horses, hunters, hunter-jumpers, hacks, Quarter Horses, and Thoroughbreds. In ponies, shivers is considered uncommon to rare."
