Learn about managing hooves and diets for springtime!
Did you know that laminitis is the second biggest killer of horses after colic? Much has changed around what we know about the causes and risk factors for laminitis over the past 10 years. Horses that have PPID (Cushings) or Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) have an increased risk of developing laminitis. Come along to this evening to get a better understanding of laminitis, the sometimes unrecognized risk factors, and how to feed and manage hoof care proactively to reduce future problems.

Sarah Kuyken (Innovative Hoof Care)
Dr Peter Huntington (Kentucky Equine Research)
