Clinical Features
Equine pastern dermatitis can affect any breed of horse, although it is most often described in Draft breeds. Feathering over the pasterns is a likely predisposing factor. This disease has no age or gender predilection but is reported more frequently in adult horses.1,19-23 Dermatitis affects the caudal aspect of the pasterns, especially in the hindlimbs. The lesions occasionally spread dorsally and anteriorly, involving the front of the pastern and fetlock areas. The condition is frequently bilateral and symmetric, although a single limb may be affected in some horses. Lesions are most common on the nonpigmented areas of the pasterns. If left untreated, lesions coalesce and may produce large areas of ulceration and suppuration.
