Has anyone had any experience of laminitis in a very large horse as this time of year? What is the prognosis, and any suggestions as to how to manage the condition to prevent reoccurrence?

Horses can get laminitis at any time of year unfortunately. Here's some basic info but his diet may need adjusting in the longer term/permanently. http://www.ecirhorse.com/index.php/laminitis

My 16hh gelding had laminitis this time last year,we nearly lost him. He was found to have insulin resistance. He has made a full recovery thankfully and went out for a 2hr hack yesterday,something I never thought would happen. He is being monitored very very closely now.
