The incidence of post‐anesthetic lameness in 655 horses undergoing 733 anesthetic episodes over a 3 year period was 6.4%. Nineteen factors previously reported or proposed to play a role in the development of post‐anesthetic lameness were evaluated statistically. Only hypotension and the duration of the anesthetic period were significant factors.
