If it is laminitis then please look at feeding Magnesium Chloride. We are having amazing results in Australia with Laminitis/Founder issues since implementing this to suspect, or horses already severely affected horses.See attachment for further info please.
This was a recent email received from a Barefoot Trimmer here In WA that I have the greatest respect for , she knows her stuff & what horses need. She thanks me, but in all honesty it is her work that is doing the most for our horses welfare. I hope this helps.
She says : Thought I'd better let you know that I'm packing up 300gm bags of Mag Chloride to get all the laminitis horses onto Mag Chloride immediately.
I have put the same instructions to dilute it as you have, so no one will be confused (I hope) when they get some from you. It is the best way to get Mag into a horse and I'm having really good results turning insulin resistant horses around including one owned by my Vet that is boarding with me.
I'm not interested in supplying minerals, I'd rather you did that. Its due to you that I have learned all about Mag Chloride and it is being used more and more in the Equine field even though there are no "scientific studies" yet.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
