Unfortunately, by the time many owners find us, their equines have already experienced laminitis. Since 80-90% of all laminitis cases are a result of the horse, donkey, or mule having uncontrolled EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome) and/or PPID (Equine Cushing's Disease), our goal is to help owners and equine professionals get the correct diagnosis and initiate treatment BEFORE a laminitic event. Here's what you need to know: https://bit.ly/2A36ERq

Dr. Trieber's 2006 study was the first to look at laminitis in a pasture setting. The onset of cases in horses at risk (high insulin) coincided with a flush of clover growth.

Exercise vastly improves insulin sensitivity, but the acutely laminitic horse cannot tolerate exercise. However, with recovery, exercise is to be encouraged as long as the horse tolerates it. As the horse's condition improves, the level of exercise should increase. The importance of exercise in the EMS-prone equine cannot be understated. EMS/IR can be avoided completely with adequate exercise and diet management. Additional important details here: http://bit.ly/34xa60X
