Anyone seen the stuff posted on fb by Affluent Malnutrition? I can't remember the name of the company, but they sell Phytolean.
Anyhow, they are doing some interesting research into the difference in gut bacteria between horses prone to laminitis and those who are not. Presumably with the hope of manipulating the gut bacteria and thus lowering the risk. Fascinating stuff.

There was/is a product called Founderguard that has a similar effect. It used to be easily available in the UK and was very effective but the rules were changed and now it’s not as easy to get hold of.
