We certainly needed all that rain, and this sunshine is lovely, but the combination is the perfect recipe for laminitis. Whether your horse or pony is prone to it or not, and even if he/she is looking slim and healthy, it’s worth keeping an eye out for any signs. The consequences can be devastating, and with the conditions we have at the moment there are sadly going to be many first time cases this year.
We are watching ours closely and will be managing turnout as and when necessary. Thankfully they have their Eazigrazers, so even when we limit grass they can still carry on grazing. Could one of our hay feeders also help keep your horse or pony happy? Plus, if you find yourself needing to soak hay then an Eazigrazer might bring you some happiness too!
