Beat laminitis without cutting pasture time with a grazing muzzle!

With winter on the way out and spring on the horizon it is important to consider protective measures against equine laminitis. The common, yet debilitating condition is caused by the inflammation, weakening or tearing of the laminae tissues which bond the hoof wall to the pedal bone and is often linked to being caused by obesity and a prolonged consumption of lush grass. Many people choose to keep their laminitic horse or pony stabled and though this may be necessary during an acute period every owner hopes to get their horse or pony back out at pasture upon reaching a significant level of recovery. A grazing muzzle, such as the range available from The Saddlery Shop including the; Comfort Grazing Muzzle, Shires Deluxe Nylon Grazing Muzzle, GreenGuard Grazing Muzzle and much more. The Grazing Muzzle restricts the quantity of grass which can be consumed by limiting the depth and weight of each bite but without preventing the horse from eating all together. A grazing muzzle can be incredibly beneficial in order to both prevent the risk of a greedy equine developing laminitis and to ensure a recovering laminitic can spend a period of time outside safely. Grazing Muzzles are available from The Saddlery Shop in a range of colours, sizes and styles just visit the website to find out more! www.thesaddleryshop.co.uk
