Just wanted to remind everyone that spring is soon upon us.
With resent weather forcasts predicting frosts, Id just like to make a post asking you all to be diligent about turning out those horses and ponies who are prone to Laminitis.
Frost prevent the fructose from traveling down the grass and therefore ups the sugars content.
Please be extra careful when turning out your neds in frost, If they are known for Laminitis, refrain from turnout until the frost has thawed.
Also, spring in its self poses difficult times for the neds, and diligence is vital, Check the legs each day for signs of a 'digital pulse' as sometimes, this can come before lameness.
I know this is done every few weeks. But the less horses with laminitis the better =o)
Eyes opens Kids =oP
