‘Sarcoids can occur in horses of all types/breeds, all colours and both sexes. Not all horses respond in the same way to the presence of sarcoid tumours and some horses with sarcoids are known to perform less well’.
The above statements have been taken from the University of Liverpool website where research continues into the various types of sarcoids and their treatment options. I have contacted the specific department for clarification into how performance is affected and if there has been any further studies into links between sarcoides and a particular type or breed. I will update the blog as more information becomes available but in the meantime if you own or are working on a horse with sarcoids and would like to share your experiences please contact me here.
