Myofibrillar Myopathy (MFM) is a muscle disease that disrupts the normal structure of muscle fibers. These abnormalities result in exercise intolerance, mystery/rotating soundness issues, poor performance, weakness, etc. In this episode, Taylor shares her mare's long journey to diagnostics. Turns out, her back was never the issue - it was MFM all along. Listen in to learn more about the presentation, diagnostic process, and management of MFM.

Dr. Valberg is the pioneer of equine myopathy research. More information on MFM and her muscle lab available on the Kentucky Equine Research website (www.ker.com)
