Is your horse confined to the 'Jenny Craig' paddock?
Do you struggle managing your horse's weight? Do you pay more attention to their diet than your own? Does the grass growth in winter grass and frosts give you chills for all the wrong reasons? If the answer is "Yes", then you are likely the owner of a horse that struggles with metabolic issues, such as laminitis, cushings disease, or equine metabolic syndrome. If this is you, then you will know that a comprehensive, combined approach to nutrition, exercise and hoof management is absolutely critical to the health and well being of these vulnerable horses. If you are unsure what looks like, contact your veterinarian and check out this great resource for more information.
What else can you do to support YOUR horse?
Our Equine Met-Aid bars may be a helpful nutritional supplement for vulnerable horses, as the natural ingredients have been shown to reduce inflammation, boost metabolism and increase blood flow. The latter two benefits are mediated through an amino acid called citruline, which researchers have found to be deficient in horses both at risk of developing laminitis and those suffering from the condition.
