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.

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.

Improved knowledge, veterinary care and nutrition mean that many horses and ponies are living well into their old age and have specialised dietary requirements. 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.
