Laminitis or Equine Digital Elastosis

Many years ago I used to think laminitis was only found in fat ponies which had been neglected by their owners and let loose on acres of lush pasture.  How far from the truth was I?  As a barefoot equine podiatrist, I see Equine Digital Elastosis or EDE in many horses and this is a common precurser to laminitis.  In the next few days I will be writing about this condition including what to look out for in your horse.  It will give you an insight into how AEP trained barefoot equine podiatrists work and think too as well as some personal thoughts on the matter....

A thought for the day...If a horse is lame if it is not in shoes, is it clinically unsound? Mmmm...
