Hi Everyone: I am looking into going to Norway this Summer with some friends. We will be going to Norway, Finland & Sweden to do some kayaking & touring and then to Estonia, Latvia, & Lithuania to do some bike riding & touring. We have our choice of August or September travel.
The causes are varied and many. One thing is for certain. A horse that stumbles is a danger to the rider as well as to himself. Potential Reasons for Stumbling and Tripping (forelimbs) in Horses. 1  Long toes. 2  Tripping in the Forelimbs. 3  Hoof imbalances. 4  Laziness. Not balanced.  Green 1  Horse. Not fit/Poor muscle  tone.
Why Horses Stumble. Stumbling can be caused by a number of things, including long toes, hoof imbalance, laziness or boredom, or a number of serious medical conditions. Some horses stumble or stub their front toes frequently, with the toe hitting the ground while the knee is still bent and the leg collapses instead of taking weight.
