The cold, frosty mornings are back and whilst we might love them, that's not the case for our 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

FIVE reasons why I love my job in winter.

1 - All the hand washing means I actually use hand cream someone gave to me last Christmas – OOO my paws are sooooo soft!

2 - The wind, rain, sleet, snow and mud saves me a fortune on beauty treatments – who needs exfoliation mud packs when you get it all for free at work?

3 - Seeing how many layers I can wear whilst still being able to move is my new daily competition – and when I take them all off again, it’s like a new me is born, I feel like a caterpillar emerging from it’s cocoon.

4 - I spend my day making as many warm drinks as possible but never have the time to finish one completely, and then I stuff 4,000 calories in under 15 minutes in a attempt to survive the cold by keeping up my energy – I’m sure freezing burns calories – right? Pass me the chocolate!

5 - All this character building throughout the winter pays off, I have a great sense of humour, good work ethic and more than anything, I know that spring is just around the corner, a time when grooms everywhere cry out in joy - “We’ve made it!”

Keep going awesome grooms – you’ve got this🌟😀

Helping them understand their own body and relaxing into it is one of the biggest lessons I’ve learnt in 2022 ! Watching this tense mare realise she can relax and it’s a happy place to be is such an achievement for me ❤️❤️🤩🤩.

MUST HAVE FOR THE WINTER !! 🥶
These hay rounds from have been a god send for our field lot in this rubbish weather ! They’re so easy to handle by yourself and keep everything so neat and tidy !! We opted for this particular hay feeder because of its size and material ! Our field lost are mostly babies so are very interested in everything and love to get in things they shouldn’t !! Would highly recommend 🙏🙏🙏🙏
