Understanding Tying Up in horses

Tying Up, also known as exertional rhabdomyolysis is the most common muscle disorder seen in horses resulting in muscle damage and poor performance. Tying up is primarily seen in sport horses where episodes can range from mild muscle cramps to severe muscle breakdown and damage. Although distressing, tying up can be managed effectively through diet and routine.

Key Highlights

Tying up is also known as exertionalrhabdomyolysis, Monday Morning Disease, and azoturia.

It is characterised by muscle damage and the resulting in pain, spasms and stiffness.

Genetic factors, dietary imbalances, and overtaining are some of the causes behind tying up in horses.

Immediate actions during an episode of tying up include pain relief, muscle relaxtion and blood tests.

Understanding Tying Up

Tying Up is essentially extreme muscle cramping. It is characterized by muscle damage and the breakdown of muscle cells, leading to the release of muscle enzymes into the bloodstream. This condition is often triggered by intense exercise or exertion beyond the horse’s training level. The excessive strain on the muscles can result in muscle pain, stiffness, and lameness.

Tying Up arises from a combination of genetic predispositions, environmental triggers, and management factors, including:

Genetic Susceptibility:

Certain horse breeds, like Thoroughbreds, Arabians, and Quarter Horses, are more prone to tying up, suggesting a genetic link. Genetic mutations affecting muscle metabolism and calcium regulation may make these horses more likely to experience this condition.

Exercise Intensity:

Strenuous exercise, especially sudden increases in intensity or duration, can overwhelm the muscles, causing fatigue, energy loss, and muscle damage associated with tying up.

Electrolyte Imbalances:

Imbalances in electrolyte concentrations, particularly calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium, can disrupt the integrity of muscle cell membranes, impair muscle contraction, and increase the likelihood of cramping and muscle damage in horses during exercise.

Poor Fitness or Conditioning:

Inadequate fitness, poor warm-up or cool-down routines, and improper training can make horses more likely to tie up by causing muscle fatigue, metabolic stress, and exercise-induced muscle damage.

Nutritional Deficiencies:

Imbalances in dietary nutrients, particularly deficiencies in vitamin E, selenium, and certain amino acids, may impair muscle function, compromise antioxidant defences, and exacerbate the risk of ER in susceptible individuals.

Recognising clinical signs of Tying Up 

Recognising the signs of Tying Up is essential for prompt intervention and management, as early recognition may improve outcomes and minimize long-term complications:

Stiffness and Lameness:

Horses who tie up often exhibit general stiffness, reluctance to move, and a stilted gait following exercise.

Trembling or Muscle Twitching:

Muscle tremors or twitching may be observed, particularly in the hindquarters or along the back.

Dark Urine:

In severe cases, the urine may appear dark due to myoglobin released from damaged muscle cells, a condition known as myoglobinuria.

Sweating and Rapid Breathing:

Increased sweating, rapid breathing, and an elevated heart rate can occur, especially after exercise or during episodes of tying up.

Diagnosis of Tying Up

Diagnosis of tying up in horses involves several diagnostic approaches. Veterinary examination focuses on observing clinical signs such as muscle stiffness, pain, gait abnormalities, sweating, and any history of previous tying up episodes after exercise. A detailed history is essential, covering the horse’s exercise routine, diet, management practices, and past episodes of tying up.

Blood tests are crucial, measuring muscle enzymes like creatine kinase (CK) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to detect muscle damage, typical in tying up cases. Interpreting enzyme levels can be challenging, as even asymptomatic horses may show elevated levels post-exercise. Horses with chronic tying up may exhibit persistently high CK and AST levels at rest.

Urinalysis reviews the myoglobin content in the urine, which if found, indicates severe muscle damage. A muscle biopsy may be necessary in severe or recurrent cases, examining muscle tissue for damage or abnormalities under a microscope. Measuring electrolyte excretion (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, chloride) can identify horses with abnormal electrolyte absorption. It’s crucial to collect samples when the horse is stable and consuming its normal diet.

To ensure an accurate diagnosis, other potential causes of muscle pain and stiffness, such as lameness or neurological issues, are ruled out through comprehensive clinical examination and diagnostic tests.

Treating a Horse with Tying Up

Treatment for a horse that has experienced tying up focuses on relieving muscle pain and inflammation and promoting muscle recovery. If your horse ties up the following steps should be followed:

Move the horse to a stable – do not make the horse travel far as tying up in an incredibly painful condition and excessive movement can exacerbate the condition

If the horse is warm apply cold water or cold packs to affected muscle groups to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. If it is colder weather, place a rug on the horse to avoid the need to shiver. Avoid excessive rubbing or massaging, which can further irritate muscles.

Once the vet arrives, they might:

 

  • Offer Pain Relief: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as phenylbutazone (bute) or flunixin meglumine (Banamine), may be administered to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
  • Provide Fluid Therapy: Intravenous fluids may be necessary to maintain hydration and support kidney function, especially if myoglobinuria (dark urine) indicates significant muscle damage.
  • Offer Sedation: drugs such as Acepromazine and xylazine can be offered to alleviate acute pain and discomfort. These medications help relax tense muscles, reducing spasms and stiffness that contribute to the horse’s pain

Management and Prevention Strategies

Effective management and prevention strategies can help minimise the occurrence of tying up in horses and promote overall muscle health.

Long-term dietary adjustments, developing a sustainable exercise routine, avoiding overtraining, and implementing stress management techniques are crucial for preventing episodes of tying up.

Dietary Adjustments:

Balanced Diet: Providing a balanced diet rich in high-quality forage, appropriate levels of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals supports overall health, muscle function, and athletic performance in horses prone to ER.

Supplemental Vitamin E and Selenium: Supplementation with vitamin E and selenium, either through balanced feeds, mineral supplements, or oral supplements, helps support antioxidant defences, protect against oxidative stress, and reduce the risk of muscle damage associated with ER.

Did you know our ReFuel contains vitamin E and Selenium? Ideal for helping support your horse’s muscles.

Amino Acid Supplementation: Essential amino acids, such as lysine, methionine, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), play critical roles in muscle protein synthesis, repair, and recovery, making them valuable additions to the diets of horses prone to ER.

Did you know all our complete feeds contain lysine and methionine?

Electrolyte Balance: Maintaining electrolyte balance through appropriate supplementation, particularly during periods of increased sweating or intense exercise, helps support muscle function, hydration, and acid-base balance, reducing the risk of muscle cramping and fatigue associated with ER.

Did you know that regular electrolyte supplements can be abrasive to the digestive system and companies must add a lot of sugar to make them palatable? That is why our Pure Electrolytes are fat coated, to make sure they are more bioavailable to the horse and kinder on the digestive system.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids, derived from sources such as fish oil or linseed oil, may help modulate inflammatory responses, support cardiovascular health, and enhance muscle recovery in horses prone to ER.

Did you know all our feeds contain micronized linseed? We even sell Pure Linseed for horses that require a little bit extra!

Developing a Sustainable Routine

Developing a sustainable exercise routine is crucial in managing and preventing tying up in horses. Strenuous exercise without proper conditioning and rest periods can increase the risk of muscle damage and tying up.

Start with low-intensity activities such as walking and light trotting, gradually increasing the duration and intensity of workouts as the horse’s fitness improves. Avoid sudden, intense exercise sessions, as these can trigger episodes of tying up. Additionally, ensure the horse has adequate warm-up and cool-down periods to promote muscle flexibility and circulation. Incorporate rest days and monitor the horse’s response to exercise closely, adjusting the program as needed. Providing a balanced diet with sufficient electrolytes and ensuring proper hydration can also help manage the condition.

Horses prone to tying up benefit from a regular, consistent exercise routine, but this does not necessarily mean they should work daily from a regular, consistent exercise routine, but this does not necessarily mean they should work every day. Daily exercise can help maintain muscle function and prevent episodes of tying up by promoting steady muscle metabolism and preventing the buildup of lactic acid. However, the intensity and duration of exercise should be carefully managed. Incorporate rest days or very light activity days to allow the horse’s muscles to recover. This is especially important if the horse shows any signs of stiffness or discomfort.

Conclusion

In conclusion, understanding why horses tie up is crucial for their well-being. From recognising the signs to implementing management and prevention strategies. Genetic factors, dietary imbalances, and overtraining play significant roles in this condition. By taking immediate actions, making dietary adjustments, and managing stress, you can help minimise the risk.

Which mash is right for your horse - Meadow Mash or Refuel?
If you’re unsure, you’re not alone. We often get asked: which should I use when?
The short answer? They’re two very different tools, and here’s why it matters.
🥕 Pure Meadow Mash is a high-fibre, low-calorie hay replacer.
It’s ideal for:
➡️ Horses with poor dentition
➡️ Good doers on soaked hay
➡️ Managing hydration in hot weather
➡️ Adding bulk to a balancer-only diet
It’s packed with soaked fibre sources to support gut health and keep horses chewing – but it’s not designed to give energy, replace lost electrolytes or aid recovery.
⚡ Pure Refuel, on the other hand, is a post-exercise recovery mash.
It contains:
🍒 Digestible energy to replenish glycogen stores
🍒  Electrolytes to replace what’s lost in sweat
🍒  Added protein for muscle repair
🍒  A gut balancer and vitamins to support recovery
It’s designed for horses working hard such as those eventing, showjumping, or travelling long distances - who need fast, targeted nutritional support.
➡️ Using the wrong mash can mean you’re missing out on key benefits, or unintentionally feeding calories your horse doesn’t need.
🧪 If you’re not sure which suits your horse best, let’s take out the guesswork.

We bought a bag the day after I received the diet plan after she completely refused to eat her previous feed anymore and was practically starving herself. I have been slowly increasing the amount of the pure easy I've been giving her and so far she's loving it! It's a much easier way of feeding, very impressed!

Herbert has been on the Pure condition pellets for a week now and is loving it. His tummy is too, as no faecal water at all - rear end lovely and clean. I'm ordering a pure linseed with my next order. He's having some time off to get some weight on and is out on some grass in the middle of the tracks during the day. Thanks so much Pure Feed!

A huge improvement in her temperament and skin!
Bonnie is doing amazing on it! I started using it around 3 weeks ago and already there is a huge improvement in her temperament and skin! She still has enough energy for hacking 4 days a week and hunting every weekend too!

I have been using your feed for 3 years now and I can say that my 25 year old pony has never looked or moved better. He really struggles with the winter so we have him your micronised linseed alongside his pure veteran and his coat and weight maintenance was superb. With the two new ponies we have started to transition them over to the feeds recommended in the diet plan and they seem very happy. It is so reassuring to know that the ponies are getting everything that they need from your feed. So thank you and for all of your advice and knowledge.
