This time of year, most of us hoofcare providers get a little nervous seeing the overweight or metabolic horses on our books – especially if their metabolic issues haven’t been managed properly. Little shoots of spring grass are coming up quickly, and with it can come increased sugar levels, insulin spikes, and hoof pain.
This spring, I plan to interview a handful of owners and hoofcare providers that have rehabbed laminitis successfully, to discuss their approaches, what worked and what didn’t, and to equip listeners with more knowledge and confidence in preventing laminitis in the future.
This week, I chatted with Amber Greeson, a hoofcare provider in Texas, about a special laminitic case that was on the verge of euthanasia. With proper management, hoofcare, and lifestyle changes, he is now sound and happy!
