🚨 Laminitis Awareness 🚨

In the last fortnight, we have seen a number of horses go down with laminitis. Early recognition and fast veterinary attention can make a huge difference.

⚠️ Watch for these warning signs:
• Reluctance to move or turn
• Shifting weight between feet
• Heat in the hooves
• Strong digital pulses
• Standing with front feet stretched forward
• Lying down more than usual

🌱 Spring grass can be a major trigger, especially for:
• Native breeds
• Overweight horses and ponies
• Those with Equine Metabolic Syndrome or Cushing’s disease

✅ Prevention tips:
• Manage grazing carefully
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Avoid sudden dietary changes
• Keep up regular farrier care
• Contact your vet promptly if you notice any signs

Laminitis is an emergency — don’t “wait and see.” Early treatment gives the best chance of recovery.

📞 If you’re worried about your horse or pony, contact your veterinary team for advice. 01309 672243

Long term client and friend of MCVG, Clare Molynuex will be known to many of you, especially in equestrian circles. Clare also worked with us at one time, manning the out of hours phone lines. Now as she turns 75 she’s decided she wants a new challenge and to give back to a charity that’s given her a lot when it really mattered. Please follow the link and read her story and donate to support a great cause if you can. Well done Clare and Philip from all the MCVG 🪂 👏
