Plain-English summary
Three horses experienced unusual symptoms that seemed to be related to nettle rash, which is a skin reaction that can cause hives. They showed signs of unsteady movements, distress, and muscle weakness, and two of them also had hives. Fortunately, all three horses recovered completely within four hours, and there were no lasting issues or return of the symptoms.
