15. All about laminitis - keeping your horse safe

If you own a laminitis-prone horse or pony you know well the anxiety this condition creates for us as horse owners! In this essential episode, Dr. Nerida explains why a change in season creates the 'perfect storm' for laminitis - from the science behind how cold nights and sunny days cause dangerous carbohydrate accumulation in pasture plants, to the insulin dysregulation that affects 90% of laminitis cases.

Learn the critical early warning signs every horse owner should know, including how to check digital pulses (your horse's best early detection system), and discover Dr Nerida’s game-changing 'fire blanket' approach to emergency management. Plus, get practical prevention strategies including safe grazing windows, strip grazing techniques, and why having emergency low-NSC hay on standby could literally save your horse.

Whether you're dealing with a laminitis-prone equine or want to prevent this devastating condition, this episode gives you the knowledge and tools to keep your horse safe. Don't wait until it's too late - early detection and fast action can make all the difference!
