What causes pain in horses? How can we help manage it? with Dr Kevin Haussler

Sunday 22 March 2026 @ 14:00 HRS GMT

What causes pain in horses? How can we help manage it? with Dr Kevin Haussler Pain is one of the most common yet most misunderstood clinical problems in horses. This webinar explores how pain, nociception, behavior, performance, and musculoskeletal dysfunction are interconnected. Using clinical cases, neurophysiology, and current research, the discussion will focus on how horses express acute versus chronic pain—and why these signs are often missed or misinterpreted. Emphasis is placed on differentiating pain from learned behavior, understanding acute vs. chronic pain mechanisms, and evidence-based, multimodal pain management.
