It’s Autumn and across the country we are seeing changes to our horse’s pasture: weeds (ugh!) and new shoots (yay!).
These changes in the paddock can also bring about changes in your horses. According to our nutritionist Jill Davies, the new pasture regrowth creates an amplified insulin concentration.
This is bad news for owners of horses and ponies who are prone to laminitis and it also can be a trying time for those of us with spooky or high strung horses.
Now is the time to take precautions and some owners find that herbal supplements are an effective and natural way to maintain your horse’s wellbeing. The Dodson & Horrell range includes Lami-Free and Placid, two herbal blends which are ideal for counteracting the effects of higher sugar and starch in your horse’s paddocks.

Do you have a horse or pony prone to laminitis? Our nutritionist Jill Davies explains that Autumn can be a risky time for laminitis and it's important to be vigilant this time of the year.
Prevention and treatment of laminitis involve addressing the cause of this painful condition in partnership with your veterinarian and farrier. A laminitis supplement such as Dodson & Horrell’s Lami-Free may be used to provide nutritional maintenance of the laminae.
Find out why horse owners all around the world call Lami-Free a lifesaver for horses and ponies prone to laminitis: thompsonandredwood.com.au/product/dodson-horrell-lami-free
As the rains have decided to make their presence known & yet again (deep sigh) all the “flippin” weeds appear, the grasses in our paddocks are starting to spring to life.
Should we be worried about the tiny green shoot’s yumminess? Well the guru of grass, Katy Watts from Safe Grass web site, says we should be.
Katy states it’s a bad time of year (autumn) for those horse’s or ponies prone to laminitis & for their owners/careers to be a strict watch out for any sign of a bout of laminitis.
Don’t be fooled by the brown grass you see in the late summer/early autumn. Spread it apart & you’ll likely see some green at the base, which is high in sugar and starch. If it hasn’t rained in a while, your grass will look dried out, but be careful – dry grass can actually have a higher NSC % than long, lush-looking grass.
From research it is known after a period of just five days without rainfall, this can increase the NSC% in grasses.
Katy states pasture grasses may have increased their total NSC% content by a whopping 250% during the drought period. So, if your pasture were for example approx. 17-20%* NSC%. Then after the first rains you will be looking at ~ 42.5 - 50% NSC%. There is no wonder why your horse or pony will attack the grass like you might hoover a bag of crisps 😉.
During the early stage of pasture regrowth, grasses use their new leaves for a rigorous period of photosynthesis which enables them to produce more sugars for further growth.
Over these first few days after the appearance of the new grass growth you might also see your horse having loose manure, or behaving like it’s a bit of “fruit loop” being stupid for no reason! The new pasture regrowth creates an amplified insulin concentration which after approx. two-three days in some horses & ponies can cause a bout of laminitis.
So please over the next few weeks do take precautions if you have a horse or pony prone to laminitis during this phase of new growth.
For some horses it will be time to dust off the Hannibal Lecture Masks (aka the grazing muzzles) or even wise to seal up the base hole until the grass has got established. To somewhere around the 2-3 leaf per tiller regrowth stage before allowing the ponies or horses to graze on the grass. Even then it would be prudent for some horses & ponies to keep them totally away from having access to the new regrowth.
If you do turn out your horses an idea would be feed them a small hard feed or some meadow hay so they are not as hungry for when they get their teeth onto some fresh tasty green tips of grass.

"We love that the T&R Grower Weaner Pellets have been made with the nutritional requirements of growing and breeding horses in mind.
All of our broodmares, stallions and young stock are on this feed. The reliable, high-protein formula has added vitamins and minerals to support the correct muscle and bone formation, as well as good milk production in mares. We also like that it is made fresh using local raw materials, thereby supporting WA farmers.”
"At Valley Equine Vet Centre we choose T&R feeds for their reliably excellent quality and freshness that comes with a locally made product. The convenience of already added salt, vitamins and minerals in the Horse weaner and grower pellet saves us time in our busy hospital.
Our recip mares are thriving and all looking fantastic!
Thank you Thompson and Redwood.

“I have used T&R equine products for my horses and foals for many years. Over this time, I have used the T&R Horse Pellets and Horse Grower Weaner depending on their needs. My Arab endurance horse (who also does the Anzac march here in town every year) holds a great top line and dapples on the horse pellets. All my horses have always held their conditioning beautifully and a nice shine to their coats on these products.”
