The laminitis calls have started coming in already!

We’re getting spring grass starting, that means we need to be on the lookout for laminitis symptoms.

Laminitis is extremely painful for horses and it is the second biggest killer after colic. ANY horse can get laminitis, from your thin thoroughbred to your miniature “lawn mower” (that includes donkeys and mules). I repeat ANY horse, they don’t have to be obese to founder.

Symptoms to look for are...

Uncomfortable on hard ground
Shifting weight from foot to foot when standing on hard ground
Shortened stride on hard ground
Sore after a trim
Digital pulse
Heat in the hooves
Flattened sole
Stretched lamina line
Blood in the lamina line
Unwilling to pick up feet
Rings in the hoof wall

Prevention is better than cure. Get your diet and management sorted.

If your horse is sore you need to remove the cause, if the cause is grass that means they can have NO GRASS, NONE.

Feed a low sugar hay in a slow feed hay net. Soak it to reduce sugar if you’re not sure what the sugar content is.
Avoid rye, clover, too much Lucerne, get them off the short grass! Short stressed grass is higher in sugar than older longer grass. Grass in shaded paddocks is also lower in sugar.
Grazing can be limited to safe times between 2am and 9am, afternoon grazing is the most dangerous time.

Track systems are wonderful if you need to lock up as they promote movement.
Grazing muzzles are not the devil and can be fantastic if you aren’t able to remove your horse from the grass.
Do NOT starve your obese pony! They need access to hay at all times even if it’s in a double netted slow feeder to slow them down.

Avoid any feed/hay with a combined sugar content over 10% (check ESC + starch on the bag). If it’s not there contact the feed company and ask. Feeds with the laminitis safe tick are not necessarily safe, this is a good marketing trick with little science behind it.

Avoid apples, bread, grains, molasses. Remember things like molasses are used in a lot of feeds to make them palatable like molo mix.

Safe feeds like beet pulp and soy hulls can be used for weight gain if it’s needed, and to carry minerals.
Remember going on a diet is not about starving the body of nutrients it’s about bringing it back to health.

If your horse is off grass they will need mineral supplementation (mineral licks are not enough and are often high iron and molasses), salt, vitamin E, and omega 3.

Contact your hoof care practitioner as soon as you see symptoms to get your horse back on track. If you have an acute case and you horse is lame, laying down a lot, leaning back, or otherwise unwell contact your vet. If your horse is not improving or has other symptoms, you may need to test for underlying conditions like Cushings and Equine Metabolic Syndrome.

My hands will eventually tell the story of how I lived
Soft with wear
Calloused from work
Scarred, yet healed
Scratched, with broken nails and cracks
Imperfect
My face will surely tell of my age
Wrinkles and lines, fissures and cracks
Framed by gray hairs and probably sun spots
My body already tells the truth
Of a lack of self control
A little too much of me, on the hips and at my waist
Sometimes I get frustrated that my features are a little too sharp, that my hair is a little too straight, and that my shoulders are a little too broad. I wish my nails were a little more manicured, and that I knew how to contour my makeup.
But the other day, I saw a photo of an elderly ranch woman's hands- hands with skin that was as translucent as tissue paper, with big knuckles and misshapen fingers and in my mind, I pictured this beautiful woman who had lived an incredibly full life. She likely reached a point long ago where she didn't worry about wrinkles or gray hairs, and it dawned on me-this is how I hope people see me when I am old.
I hope that they see a woman who worked hard, cooking meals and breaking colts and tending to babies, while mending fences, driving tractors, and riding a rank horse. That they see a woman who knew good times and bad times, and through it all, managed to persevere.
I hope that they see a woman with a little extra fluff to hug at her middle, with wisdom lines around her eyes and hands that are perfectly imperfect. After all, true beauty really has nothing to do with how we look, but how we live. ❤

One of my friends Horse has EPM.
He got exposed from hay purchased locally. Friday on her way home saw a dead opossum on Taylor Flats and Selphlanding road. They live amongst us and carry the debilitating and deadly Protozoa that can destroy your horse.
Early treatment is key. Not a lot of vets around here are familiar with EPM. You may have to seek outside consultation.
