I am quite surprised the vet has advised box rest only. We , at times, have had in other people s laminitic horses ,because we use large pens rather than stables.[ and if you can get a large pen for your horse it willmake a huge difference to his mental wellbeing. ]
We then followed ,to the letter, the exercising regime from the laminitis trust.
The beginning was 3x a day 10 mins walk in outdoor school [ incredibly boring for the human!] , building up from there. Unless his laminitis is crippling , I would ask your vet about exercise. I know your pony is only three , but lack of exercise is a factor thats as important as amount of grass, yet hardly seems to be mentioned.
