There’s a lot of conflicting advice out there regarding how to deal with acute Laminitis. This article clears up the confusion over whether movement is good or bad – definitely worth a read just in case you are ever unfortunate enough to be in this situation.

Does your horse suffer from respiratory issues? Could the way you feed hay be making it worse? We take a look at the pros and cons of loose/manger feeding vs haynets vs Eazigrazer. Read on to find out more!

From the 1st June until the end of October you can generate a voucher code from “Talk About Laminitis” to get your horse tested for free. Worth taking advantage of this if your horse has shown signs of Laminitis or if you have noticed symptoms of PPID (Equine Cushing’s disease).
