Hi
I had a lot of problems with laminitis for years, but having experienced the methods of AANHCP barefoot trimming, combined with lifestyle changes, ie providing different types of terrain and a non-cereal diet. I am amazed and relieved at the improvement and change in a pony that has been laminitic all her life. She has had no attacks of laminitis since I turned to these methods, and the change in her feet is just unbelievable.
Further details about AANHCP here Welcome to the official website of the AANHCP

our pony has had lami before said the farrier but in the 6 years weve had her weve done paddock management and shes always been exercised and luckily has never had it with us UNTIL someone took her on loan i insisted that she came to the same yard that we were at i was just about to take the pony back ooff her cos she wasnt being ridden much about 10 mins twice a week!!! when our farrier told us she was coming down with lami and get the pony off them and sort her out which we did by putting a grazing muzzle on her.
she also cut her leg and the woman just left her! to which we treated for 3 weeks and got her leg better.
we will know never loan her again

To be honest since I lost a pony to lammy I know how quick it can take a horse once it has started....... you never catch lammy in time, once they have it, they have it for life. If you are lucky enough to be able to manage it some do live for a long life. But even if you do manage it as I did (read my web on lammy) we did every thing money could buy for Shrek even to plastic shoes and sadly his lammy took him very quickly in I would say a 24 hour period. Not wanting to scare people but just making you all aware how important it is as soon as lammy is suspected or your horse is lame it is vital that the vet is called. A horse with lammy can deteriorate so quickly, in even a few hours that it can not recover. Hence why I strongly advise a vet to be called. As I have said there are many many horses that do live with lammy, but I think we all need to be aware of how fast lammy can take our horses and also how important a vet is called as soon as lammy is suspected. Also as it has been mentioned the food you use is important too, Even though my 2 do not have lammy I always use feeds recommended by the laminitic society. Also I am very aware to keep my horses weight down and keep them of the rich lush grass in the spring summer and autumn. I could go on and on as this is something that means so much to me, as I did not know a lot about lammy until we had Shrek.

It would seem that you are missing the point.

When the inside wall detatches its self, from the outside wall then the pedal bone can drop through the sole of the hoof, unless the inner and outer hoof wall is strenghtened quickly which is exactly what multi-foot does then you have a dead animal on your hands.

I believe the other point is that there have been a number of very mild winters, causing the sugar to stay in the grass all year round, hence the increase in cases of Laminitis, because the animal is unable to cope with this.

Taking the above into account how can you detox the animal when the intake of sugar is at a constant, unless you propose to keep the animal stabled all year round.

Longer grass is better because the animal will not eat as much, and the sugar remains in the base of the grass not the top that they eat.

Laminitis can be compared with Diabeties, so are you saying that your product cures Diabeties as well?

What ever works use and if it is one or more products use them, it is the animal that needs to be taken out of pain quickly and permanently.

The reply is to MYtreeless comment.

Watch your spring vaccinations-do them some other time-thimerosal-mercury is in all the vaccines and is toxic to the horse. april@treelesssaddle.com

vaccines for horses causing lots of the problems-the thimerosal in them-49% mercury, check out Ichooseperfecthealth.com-chooseperfecthealth-invisible toxinsdetox

With the greatest of respect this is a pet forum, and not an advert column for human products, or have we all missed something?

sorry but does that include me?..... I only promote basic horse care non profit...... do not make any money just provide links to educate
