I do know with human cases, parasite and amoebas cause a cyclic reaction by both virus and bacteria. Unfortunately, I misspelt the word "synonymous" that should have been 'synchronous'. What I mean by that statement is if the equine, for example, has a strong parasitic load, how does this...

My point is that the industry is really neglecting areas of equine health (and prevention). I'm not here to question people in regard to their knowledge of hardcore science. I feel the lack of quality studies--especially preventative--are even noted with owners who have horses diagnosed with...

Thanks! I just feel really bad for those people. All I'm trying to do is engage with likeminded horse owners that either have a background in science or not.

Thank you! I believe there is so much to learn in regard to backing a horse depending on age. Have you ever heard of horses that are supposed to be a prized future Grand Prix first going *under saddle* around age 5? I have understood this to be controversial at times because of the younger...

I really would like to ask more questions here, but feel that I've annoyed some of the members in this forum. If you're open to engaging more on this topic--as it relates to the immune system of equines--could I possibly ask your opinion to further my knowledge before heading into the actual...

Thanks for sharing your story. Did he have issues in the bridle/mouth?

I did not go there with all the members, just one or two who seemed to engage after I suggested viral attributes to spinal degenerations in humans and equines. I do not need to use caution when trying to learn about equine health through their owners . I've actually appreciated many of the...

Bacteria and viruses are treated in sync with each other if you're versed in modern infectious diseases. Go ahead and ridicule--it's perfectly fine with me. :-)

This discussion raised your blood pressure? Wow, I'm so sorry...

I think you're missing my entire point and why I have come to a forum asking questions about kissing spine. I'd like to know what the regular horse owner knows about kissing spine or issues within the cervical/back. There is amassed data on spinal issues in equines, usually postmortem.

So it sounds like "cold backed" can mean a variety of issue in the back, not just kissing spine. I've heard the term used in both UK and USA. I'm European, currently living in Europe and overseas.

Oh, interesting. So you would use Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) for what exactly as an equine supplement?

THANK YOU for responding. How would you define a cold-backed horse? One that has actual issues with kissing spine or a tighter bodied horse that needs a longer warmup to get supple? I ask because there are known bloodlines (I know in dressage) that produce horses that are referred to as very...

I would never use any information here for public use. My intent for starting this thread is to learn about spinal issues from the owners regardless of their level in riding. Equines have always fascinated me as a hobbyist in addition to their physical performance.

I just referred back to your older message with the radiograph attached. Thanks again for sharing!
