Hoof Care

Laminitis is one of the most serious and painful conditions a horse can experience. Early detection and supportive care are essential, as the sooner laminitis is identified, the better the chance of preventing long-term damage.

This condition refers to the development of bony growth or scarring around the pastern or coffin joint, usually as a response to joint strain, bruising, or unresolved inflammation. Over time, the affected tissue lays down a ring of bone in an attempt to stabilise the area - a natural process, but one that can compromise soundness and cause discomfort if not supported properly.

Thrush, white line disease, and seedy toe, collectively known as hoof capsule infections, often indicate a breakdown in both the hoof’s natural defences and the horse’s internal systems.
