It’s that time again! Please be REALLY careful with the grass this week. I have been out to a couple of horses (not native fat ponies, but a shod thoroughbred and a very fit/lean warmblood) who both have raised pulses and sore feet after being turned out for one day on “better” grazing. I also received a phone call this afternoon about a 3yr old pony with no history of laminitis, who is rocked back off her toes. Finally, tonight I came home to find that my own highland has a rock hard neck and looks bloated, even on very restricted strip grazed track. The grass out there is frankly dangerous at the moment. Please, please be cautious! Call your vet if you see any/early signs, and TELL YOUR HOOFCARE PROVIDER. They might need a longer appointment slot than usual, or a shorter cycle, or to ask you to request markers on your xrays, or to bring extras like therapy boots/pads, a different type of shoe, or they might just have some nuggets of wisdom.

(EDITED TO ADD THAT I AM IN THE UK)

💗 get checking your horses 🐎 pulses.

Monitor your horse closely to notice the subtle signs of laminitis. 🔍🐎 #HereToHelp

Big shout out and thank you to RAF Shawbury for the Hi Viz delivery. We are in a low fly zone so great to be seen and feel lots safer on the road whilst out 🐴

Keep up the fluids 💦

❓Did you know that a horse’s daily water intake can double in hot weather❓

A 500kg horse can drink between 20-30 litres (approximately 3-4 buckets) of water per day and this can increase to up to 50-60 litres (approximately 6-7 buckets) per day in hot weather ☀

Check your horse’s buckets or troughs regularly to make sure they have a constant supply of clean, fresh water.

As shown in the image below, a frozen fruit block can help with enrichment, as it’s similar to a type of lick. As with all fruit and vegetables, ensure your horse has good teeth to chew the pieces.
