Meet Scott, a young 9-year-old horse. He is very curious, people-oriented, and stands out with his long legs. Scott is in good physical condition, full of energy, and handles well with the refuge specialists.

Scott is affected by Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (HYPP), a genetic muscle condition that can cause episodes of weakness or tremors. This condition is primarily managed through an adapted diet and a stable routine.
His diet must be low in potassium, avoiding feeds known for high potassium content such as alfalfa, molasses, certain supplements, etc. He also receives appropriate selenium and vitamin E supplementation to correct a deficiency, support recovery, and promote muscle development.
