It is a condition affecting the cervical vertebrae which causes gait instability ...

Exact cause is not clear--may be physical defects or can be inflenced by protozoa ..

Seattle Slew had wobbler like symptoms as an older stallion ...

A free horse with wobbles is not free ...

A great many wobblers are euthanized for obvious reasons of being unsafe under saddle or to themselves sadly ...
