Top Tips for Managing the Overweight Horse

Achieving weight loss is certainly not easy and, with horses and ponies, there are a number of additional factors that make it particularly challenging.

Conditioning Fibre Feeds: Explained

Bringing a horse back into work after laminitis

Bringing a horse back into work after laminitis can be a long battle but once your vet has given you the go ahead it is important to increase the amount of work slowly. However, just because your horse’s workload has increased it doesn’t automatically mean that a higher energy ration is required. Feeding more energy than your horse needs for the work being done will result in weight gain and this is one of the biggest risk for laminitis.

Feeding the Laminitis Prone Veteran horse

However, for certain veteran horses and ponies, especially those that maintain weight with ease or that are prone to laminitis, a specialised diet needs to be considered.
