Equine nutritionist Jill Davies answers your questions on laminitis. Thank you to everyone who submitted a question for Jill, we couldn`t answer them all but here are three FAQs...
? What is the best way to prevent laminitis flare-ups? - Annie
"In short? Managing insulin starts with the whole diet.
When cells become insulin resistant, the pancreas may produce more insulin. Excessively high insulin levels can weaken the sensitive lamellae of the hoof, potentially causing laminitis.
Prevention involves managing total calorie intake, NSC% (sugars and starch) in both forage and hard feeds, forage quality and quantity (1.5-2% BWt/day), BCS, CNS and insulin testing.
WA pasture suitability varies with grass species, weather and weeds. Grazing muzzles may help on suitable pastures, but some horses and ponies require complete grass restriction while maintaining adequate forage, movement and social contact.
A forage-based diet must also be nutritionally balanced, providing high-quality protein, essential amino acids, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, zinc, iodine, selenium, and sodium (salt). Vitamins A & E also need attention. Hay drying and storage reduce beta-carotene (which horses convert into vitamin A) and naturally occurring vitamin E, an important antioxidant that supports muscle function, immune health, and protection against cellular damage.
Regular vet monitoring of insulin concentrations, together with appropriate management of HAL (Hyperinsulinemia-Associated Laminitis)/EMS or PPID where present, helps assess whether the management programme is working. Once a horse is sound and has vet approval, appropriate exercise can also help improve insulin sensitivity and support a healthy BCS. Horses experiencing active laminitis should not be exercised."

Oh the Royal, what a show! Our team riders were out in force, and it was a great event for the Dagostinos. Clara came away with Reserve Champion Small Show Pony and a big win in her Rider class, and young Harvey rode so well in such a big atmosphere, and placed 4th in his rider class too - we love Mike’s proud-dad smile.
Some fabulous achievements for the Oakford team, well done.

Laminitis Week - Day 2 - Do you know these early warning signs?
While prevention is key, early detection can make a huge difference to your horse or pony`s chance of recovery.
Heat in their feet:
Temperature increases in the hoof can occur hours before the first signs of lameness. Check them regularly for signs of prolonged heat i.e. for a few hours.
A bounding digital pulse:
A horse`s digital pulse should normally be faint or difficult to feel. Laminitic horses have a digital pulse that is `bounding` or quite strong. Get to know what their normal digital pulse feels like now, so you can notice any changes.
Shifting, leaning or lameness:
Horses and ponies can start to show signs of discomfort in their feet, by shifting their resting legs often, not shifting at all, or rocking back to take the pressure off their front feet. It`s vital to know how your horse stands normally, so that you can pick up when they are acting differently.
What should you do?
Consult your vet immediately!
Prevention is essential. If you have a laminitis-prone horse or pony, you need to be managing their grazing and feeding program carefully to reduce the risk of a laminitis attack.

Laminitis week day 1 - Your quick start guide to laminitis. Do you know some of these laminitis basics? It’s not just a hoof problem, it’s a whole body issue and has three different types grouped by cause. Our take home message about laminitis for today:
Laminitis is a secondary issue, that occurs as a consequence of a bigger issue somewhere else in the body.
Next, we’ll be diving deeper into Endocrinopathic laminitis, why insulin matters and how feed and grazing management is essential.

Sponsored Rider Jodi Dunlop combines Equi-Restore with Lupin Fibre Boost to feed to her polocrosse team after every session, to give them their fibre, vitamins and minerals AND the extra recovery support they need.
Equi-Restore is packed with nutrients, including BCAA’s, a specifc type of amino acid that are directly absorbed by the muscle for use to improve muscle resilience, shorten post-exercise recovery time and reduce muscle breakdown.
We pair the BCAAs with antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress and muscle damage by neutralising ‘free radicals’.
Working together, the antioxidants act as a shield against damage while the BCAAs are the repair crew, helping your horse recover and thrive.

SV Super Maxi is the perfect example of how a well balanced diet that focuses on high fibre and controlled sugar and starch ingredients can fuel horses, even at the highest level.
Super thrives on a blend of Calm Care Plus and Claytons Pellets, with a fibre mash base of Lupin Fibre Boost. They provide quality proteins and amino acids, fat and fibre to fuel him, while keeping him calm and looking amazing.
To help with the travel and stress if competitions, Equi-Restore recovery mash is added for hydration support and to help reduce his recovery times.
The commen theme in all of this? His diet has been formulated to support optimum gut health and function, with a range of fibre souces for diversity, and pre and probiotics and antioxidants.
The results speak for themselves.

Nobody wants to be over or underfeeding their horse! Do our simple "diet audit" and ask yourself these easy questions to help you work out if you are feeding your horse enough (and if it`s the right feed)...
◻️What is my horse telling me? If only they could talk!
But really, have a good look at the overall picture.
- Are you happy with their condition?
- How does their coat look?
- Have they got good topline?
- How are their hooves?
TIP: Take a photo of them from both sides, front and back to use as comparisons.
◻️ What is their Body Condition Score (BCS)?
Crack out the charts and do a BCS score. It`s a great, objective measure of their condition and an important baseline to have.
◻️ How are their energy levels?
- How do they behave in the paddock and on the ground?
- If they`re in work, can they complete their normal workload?
◻️ How is their performance?
- Can they maintain their usual performance levels?
- If you are increasing training, are they getting stronger and fitter?
- Do they recover adequately between sessions?
◻️ What is your goal for their current diet, and is it working?
- Do you want them to gain, maintain or lose weight?
- Are they maintaining or building topline?
◻️ How is their appetite, are they consistently eating their feed and forage?
◻️ Are they getting enough forage, hay or pasture? They need a minimum of 1.5% - 2% of their body weight in forage daily.
◻️ HAVE YOU NOTICED CHANGES?
- Has anything in their appearance changed?
- Has their workload or type of work changed (without adjusting diet to match?)
- Has their appetite changed?
- Is their body condition changing?
- Have they lost muscle without a change in exercise or diet?
- Has their behaviour changed?
What do your answers tell you?
◻️ If you`re happy with your answers, their diet is balanced and any changes are in the direction you want them to go, that`s a great start.
◻️ If your answers aren`t ideal...they`re telling you that something has changed and their diet is likely not supporting their needs. Now it`s time to investigate why...
Need help? You can reach out to us for a custom diet, or use our free FeedSmart Calculator on our website.

"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.”
