Laminitis

£20.00

Clive Ponsford shares his insight into Laminitis. Clive has been involved with barefoot horses for over ten years now and is still on a road of discovery.

In that time he has had the good fortune to have worked with many different horses, and it is this variety of horses that has driven many of the concepts that he now holds.

This was recorded in Sept 2021.

Laminitis is very complex and can range from mild sub clinical, to being so bad that the horse has to be put to sleep.

There is more that one trigger for laminitis – diet, metabolic conditions, stress, poisoning, illness any one or combination of these could be the trigger that starts the ball rolling.

I like to think that there are three different kinds of laminitis. However they can all overlap each other so these distinctions are only there to help me explain what is happening and how to spot when you may have trouble.
