Precaution 1 - Supporting gut health

(Equigesta-Pre)

Precaution 2 - Assess your horse's body condition

 

Precaution 3 - Regular hoof care (barefoot is best)

Many horses fail to recover from laminitis due to incorrect trimming.
We also suggest using McDowells Hoof Heel oil, which drives healing herbs directly into the hoof and dramatically improves the circulation in the hooves.

Precaution 3 - Feeding our recommended diet

 

Precaution 4 - Limiting access to green grass

Certain times of the day 

 

Precaution 5 - Feeding herbs to detox system

(Infect-a-clear)

Precaution 6 - Exercise on sand or grass
