When most owners think of Cushing's (PPID) in horses, they think of a long, dull haircoat, that doesnโt shed well, as the key sign. While this is a strong indicator that your horse should be tested, this is unfortunately a sign of more advanced disease. Some other signs you might see are:

If you have seen any of these symptoms in your horse it may be wise to have them tested for Cushingโs.
