Just heard of a horse in Denmark that became ill and the symptoms where that the horse couldn't stop walking. It walked through electric fences and into a ditch, where, even though it was upside down, it continued to try to walk. It's owner was only able to steer it into a stable, where it broke through the wall and continued walking, unaware of anything around it. The horse had to be euthanized.
The owners father was an old farmer who recognised this as sleepwalker syndrome. Other older farmers had come across this in the past, believed to be connected with lack of light and stabling over winter. The vet had never heard of it and Google searches come up with no results. Has anyone ever come across this before?
