If you’ve ever witnessed a horse with acute laminitis you will know that its something to avoid at all costs. Laminitis is an extremely painful condition for the horse. In severe cases the horse cannot stand on its hooves and will spend most of its time lying down in extreme discomfort.

Laminitis is often the result of mismanagement and – fortunately for us as horse owners – most cases are completely preventable.
