Excellent information. Unfortunately for me it’s too little too late. I have half Arabs and when I brought them from North Dakota on Prairie grass and put them on grown grass. I did not know anything about laminitis because we never had that problem up north. Now all three of mine Need long-term treatment. What kind of grass seed should I use if I plant my own hay. I’m in Colorado. I have 20 acres that I plan to plant low carbohydrate grass seed so I can grow my own hay for them. Unfortunately, soaking the hay is out of the question for me. In the meantime, what is the safe analysis for hay. I have had my hay tested twice, but I’m not sure exactly what the readings should be. Your answer will be greatly appreciated. If you get this message, thank you very very Much !!!🐎🐎

Can we feed rice bran
With experience just looking the Hoof you know what is happening, you can make the horse muve but you all ready know
What happens in the wild with say a herd of Mustang? Do the hooves naturally wear down? Do the ones that grow long hooves in a natural environment filter out through breeding? -Curious party
In the wild the hooves wear down pretty much at the same speed in which they grow. If you ride a horse a lot, especially on abrasive surfaces (such as asphalt for example) you wear down more hoove than they grow...so you need to shoe it to prevent it from wearing all off. Thats what google says
Does anyone know what caused the inflammation to begin with? Great video. Thank you.
Wow this was excellent! Will be listening again…a lot of information.
Good lecture.
This is the best lecture I have ever seen on this condition. I have had three vets on my horse currently but by far, this has been the most informative discussion about the mechanics of the problem and was extremely helpful.
This video was super informative. My mare is currently on stall rest with laminitis and while I have a basic understanding of the disease process, the way you explained it makes a lot more sense, and really drives home just how important reducing inflammation in the acute phase is. I do have a question about rotation of the coffin bone, my horse does have rotation of her coffin bone, 12 degrees on one foot and 9 degrees on the other. As new hoof grows in, does frequent trimming also help to reduce the angle of the coffin bone rotation relative to the new hoof growth? Or is this a situation where once the coffin bone has rotated a certain amount, its will remain at the same angle as new hoof grows in?
This is a great question 👍I would also love to know 😊
@@shondalahpinny9077I would also like to know.
Wow - what a great lecture! (Parts 1 and 2) Clear and practical for horseowners. Now I really understand how laminitis, founder, and Cushings/EMS are interrelated. Very helpful, as my geriatric horse has Cushings and has had some foot issues recently. Thank you!
