Trying to help a thin soled thoroughbred with low weak heels. Originally wanted to use the 3d pads with impression material, but as his soles are so thin I thought best to use the leather pads and magic cushion, so decided why not use both 😝

Our nutritional partners, NAF, offer some great advice to help laminitis prone horses and ponies during the cold weather:

"We all love cold, frosty mornings – all, that is, except laminitis prone horses and ponies. The action of the sun (photosynthesis) causes sugar to build which during warmer weather results in growing grass. Frosty weather prevents growth, instead building potentially dangerous stores of sugar in pasture.

Is it safe once the frost thaws? Not really. The important thing is getting growth going to use up the sugar stores, which requires overnight temperatures of 5 degrees or above.

❄️Limit turnout in frosty, sunny weather and provide alternative forage from analysed or soaked hay
❄️Regular farrier visits to keep hooves well balanced
❄️Keep exercise up and calories down
❄️Talk to NAF for bespoke advice on nutritional care of the laminitis prone."

This is why you should aways pick your horses feet out. This one was very lucky! it was flat in the hoof and didn’t cause any damage, just slightly pierced the frog.
