PSSM & MIM Symptoms- Canter Issues

Thank you so interesting to listen to and very well explained.

Very good explination!

Do the horses also trip when asked to canter

Thank you, this was so informative!!

I would love to see a before and after diet change/treatment of the improvements at the canter. Thanks so much for this! It is nice to finally get some answers and visuals on what is happening to my gelding under saddle.

Thank you. I had figured out my PSSM1 mare is very comfortable cruising at the trot. At the canter she is very chunky and banging and will jig into the canter. I always thought it was me. Falling out of the canter, dives into the center of the arena. Cross firing.

My current loan horse (a blackforest mare) has PSSM Type 1 (N/PSSM). So far she's not displaying many signs (except for maybe the slightly heavier breathing while working). She loves to canter but it's also the most difficult gait for her. My question is: Can you even train them to the point where they don't struggle with canter anymore, or will this never go away?

Thank you, really good

Thank you so much, this video has been the most helpful out of all I have watched on this disease.x.

My horse has tested P2/P2. I have made improvements to his canter over time and suspected some form of PSSM so had modified diet and work etc before his testing, but this helps me to realise I am not totally incompetent. Yes he is much better, but canter will always be our nemesis.
I find he will head Bob in his canter, especially when tired or not as fit, is this a common thing PSSM horses can do?

So helpful and informative! THANK YOU!!,

My PSSM horse has now learned to get his tongue over the bit in addition to to his other issues,
I’m riding in a hackamore to be safe.

Is there any way to send a cantering video to you? The horse takes 2 (no more than 6 strides) then back to trotting in the back. Also, when I've rode her bareback 5- 10 min, she is ok, but when I stop her back gets very tight & feels like she is going to explode. After getting off she takes big breaths of relief.
Can I send hair in to get her tested?

Wow, I think my horse must have had PSSM. It would explain why he was so obliging and easy going until he cantered. At canter he could be quite explosive.

Very interesting, thank you. Will these symptoms always show on both canter leads (left and right), or can they appear only on one (left or right)?

Thank you!!!!! Thank you. A trainer recently lunged my hypp/pssm1 QH. Trainer Did not understand why horse would do a beautiful extended trot then buck when asked for a canter. She didn’t believe me when I suggested it was his genetic disorders. I will share this video with the trainer.

A lot of quarter horses show these problems. A LOT!

Wonderful information. So many of these horses are out there. A lot of times bought then sold without ever being diagnosed. Thank you again for the studied information. It’s priceless❤

Omg this brought tears to my eyes…
