The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck, but don’t let its size fool you, it has a big impact on your horse’s overall health and performance.🐴
It produces hormones that regulate many critical body functions, including:
• Metabolism – how your horse converts food into energy
• Growth and development – especially important for young or growing horses
• Body temperature regulation – helping them stay comfortable in hot or cold conditions
• Hair coat and skin health – affecting shine, shedding, and coat density
• Muscle and joint function – keeping movement smooth and strong
When the thyroid isn’t functioning properly, it can lead to a wide range of issues. Common signs of thyroid imbalance may include:
