Owners and breeders have many concerns about raising, training and treating American Quarter Horses. Health issues are more prevalent when dealing with juvenile horses because adult species are highly resistant to many diseases. However, horse keeping implies constant contacts with veterinary services and breeding organizations.
Only AQHA-registered species receive admission to breeding programs to eliminate the great risk of infiltrating the breed with faulty features. Thus, it is necessary to exclude horses with noticeable deviations from the breed standard from shows and projects.
American Quarter Horses Pictures - Health Issues
Mares require comfortable and favorable conditions for foaling. Avoid drastic changes in environment because it can contribute to hard birth or birth delay. Mares should be well acquainted with night attendants beforehand, and the birth site must be clean and dry.
American Quarter Horses often suffer from influenza. This is a catchy disease, and it usually culminates in summer. It causes respiratory problems, depression and bad appetite. Although existing vaccines cannot provide one-hundred-per-cent protection against the virus, one should not disregard their importance, because they do boost flu resistance. Adult horses need little treatment, but the young often suffer from serious aggravations, which require hospital treatment. For this reason, juveniles require qualified supervision and care.
American Quarter Horses also suffer from genetic disorders. Hyperkalemia is one of the most serious deviations. The mutation of sodium potassium channel in muscle cells initiates it, which results in spasms and convulsions. In hard cases, this condition may lead to early death.
Quarter Horses are prone to equine sarcoid, a kind of skin tumor, which appears mostly on head, sides and belly. It does not have a metastatic potential, and therefore it is less life threatening than cancer. However, it tends to recur after surgery, and it can turn out to be a life long nuisance for American Quarter Horses and their owners.
