Awhile back I shared a photo of April, a pony who was rescued and had a bad case of laminitis. She has been on a 6 week trim cycle and is definitely improving.

This past weekend, I attended a Chris Gregory anatomy clinic, sponsored by Central PA Cowboy Church. This clinic included lecture and 2 leg dissections. The hoof wall was removed allowing us to see the laminar attachment. Ask me more at your next shoeing/trimming appointment!

Some before and afters from the past couple weeks. Brought some flared thoroughbred feet back to balance and worked on a laminitic (foundered) pony.

Good tips and info for those who own founder/ laminitis prone horses.

Not a joke...

Have you ever wondered why you can have a 15 acre field and part of it is chewed down to nubs and the other part has grass a hand high, But your horse is constantly grazing in the chewed down part?

Grass 6 inches and taller has less sugars than grass under 6 inches.

For every inch drop below 6 inches, the fructan (sugar) content rises.

Grass under 6 inches is stressed like it's a Monday morning with a project deadline. It uses sugar to repair itself.

Stop mowing your fields short.

Stop grazing your chubbys on chewed down grass. (this is why grazing muzzles are so touted...they keep the horse from being able to get much short grass)

(We aren't saying let your fields be 3 feet tall, by the way. The optimal thing to do is keep them 6-8 inches tall and graze them in small areas there)
