Neck pain in horses is a growing concern. It can cause a wide range of issues, from a small drop in performance to sudden, dangerous behavior.

Veterinarians must figure out exactly what type of pain the horse is feeling, as the problem could be with the neck’s bones, muscles, or nerves. This article explains the different diseases that cause neck pain, how vets diagnose them (using exams and imaging tests), and the various treatment options available.
