Hi all, with spring well underway and those tiny blades of grass full of fructan shooting up everywhere be aware that laminitis is a big issue at this time of the year.
As horse owners it’s our responsibility to be proactive about our horses dietary intake and weight, the risks associated with not doing so can result in many kinds of issues.
If you think your horse may be prone to laminitis it is important to remember prevention is the best cure. So In saying that something like founder guard from Virbac Australia may be useful in preventing low grade laminitis caused in the hindgut.
Please do remember that it is important that if you decide to use this product it needs to be administered at minimum 4 days prior to access to any risky pasture!
Check out the link to a post from virbac Australia and like there page!

It’s Spring time, make sure you are getting the full potential out of your performance horse by supplementing with Founderguard and preventing the risk of low grade laminitis. For more information, visit http://bit.ly/2UPbjwb

Keep an eye out for those sneaky end of season abscesses! Here’s one we looked at for Moondarra horsemanship a few days ago!
Wet paddocks or dam areas and long toes will be more likely to harbour the bacteria’s that bring on abscesses or even seedy toe in your horses hooves.

Tis the season for hoof abscesses 😭.
My Stockhorse has a nasty one.

Hopefully this poultice draws it out while we wait for our appointment with the farrier 👌

With all this wet weather recently don’t forget to keep an eye on your horses feet and try to keep them picked out.
There’s been a few abscesses developing over the past few weeks, so remember if they go sore to keep calm and check the temperature of the sore foot/feet, check the digital pulse and contact your farrier or veterinarian.
