Poor performance.

Poor performance is a difficult area to address in our ridden horses and can vary from a racehorse not living up to its potential, the competition horse not achieving its previous level of performance, or the pony club pony which has suddenly started to display undesirable behaviour.  

The causes of poor performance are wide and variable, with the most common causes including  lameness, musculoskeletal and respiratory and cardiac conditions. 

Other conditions that may contribute to poor performance include gastric ulcers, endocrine and hormonal disorders.

With experienced veterinarians, EquiVets can help figure out the cause of your horse's poor performance.
