Huge thanks to MooHaven for taking on these horses and working with us to get them the care they need!

We hope all our clients enjoy the warm weather this weekend is bringing but please be on alert for signs of ‼️Laminitis‼️

In the last couple of weeks we have seen a massive number of laminitis cases due to the recent flush of grass following the recent wet and warm conditions.

Preventative Tips
🔥 Monitor temperature of your horses feet, and their digital pulses. If pulses become stronger than usual, take off the grass
👀 Is your horse carrying a bit more weight than he/she should? Monitor weight and restrict grass intake especially in laminitis prone, good doers and EMS/Cushing horses
🌱 Limit grass intake by strip grazing, and using grazing muzzles
🌾Provide a low sugar and starch diet of soaked hay, and low calorie balancer
🐎 Monitor how comfortable your horse is and length of strides on different surfaces, and on the turn

If you think your horse may be showing signs or would like some more advice, please don’t hesitate to get in touch
