Hi Everyone: I am looking into going to Norway this Summer with some friends. We will be going to Norway, Finland & Sweden to do some kayaking & touring and then to Estonia, Latvia, & Lithuania to do some bike riding & touring. We have our choice of August or September travel.
The causes are varied and many. One thing is for certain. A horse that stumbles is a danger to the rider as well as to himself. Potential Reasons for Stumbling and Tripping (forelimbs) in Horses. 1  Long toes. 2  Tripping in the Forelimbs. 3  Hoof imbalances. 4  Laziness. Not balanced.  Green 1  Horse. Not fit/Poor muscle  tone.
Limping can result from either an acute (having a recent onset) or chronic (long-term) condition. Injuries such as bone fractures, sprains, and strains are common causes of limping. Arthritis and congenital malformations (birth defects) are other potential causes. Limping can also result from conditions that damage the central nervous system, such as cerebral palsy. Depending on the precise cause, limping may be treatable in some cases or its severity may be reduced through the use of medications and/or surgical interventions.
