Obesity: Kindness That Kills
Obesity is a rising concern in equine welfare with many horses and ponies being given diets which lead to painful medical problems such as laminitis and other life changing metabolic conditions. No matter what your reason for helping your horse lose weight, it is important to consult your veterinarian when considering a weight loss program. They will be able to evaluate your horse for any underlying conditions which may be contributing to your horse’s weight gain along with providing support and management when a condition such as laminitis is present.
