Stringhalt management of Australian stringhalt. Two weeks after treatment with phenytoin, significant improvement was observed in the gait abnormality of horses affected with Australian stringhalt at the trot and canter, but no significant improvement was observed at the walk or while turning. The most common plant species that have been found and identified in pastures where affected horses were located include: flatweed ("Hypochaeris radicata"), sheep's sorrel ("Rumex acetosella") and couch grass ("Elymus repens"). The type of nerve damage sustained in horses with Australian stringhalt suggests a mould toxin (mycotoxin) or a fungal 'poison' found in the soils may be a cause
