Introducing the Laminitis Warning Signs Program
Do you want to learn how spot early warning signs and understand what’s going on with laminitis so you’re more in control

Access the program that gives you step by step lessons and regular personalised advice so you can understand:
Low Grade Laminits vs Acute Laminitis
We all know to look for signs like a bounding digital pulse, a rocked back stance, or difficulty walking and standing.
But those signs aren't warning you that laminitis is coming...
Those signs are announcing that it’s ALREADY HERE!
They’re signs a horse is suffering an acute laminitis attack.
It’s rare for acute laminitis to come out of nowhere...
It’s very common for laminitis to grumble along undetected, slowly building up until an acute attack suddenly ‘comes out of nowhere’.
Some horses can even stay in a low grade state for years, with low levels of inflammation fluctuating, thankfully, never quite tipping over the edge into a full blown attack.
I say the signs are undetected, but that’s not strictly true… These signs are often seen, but they’re just not attributed to low grade laminitis.
Things like:
The Signs are there if you know what to look for...
Early intervention is vital!
When you understand what’s happening in the hoof and the whole horse during laminitis,
you can recognise those early warning signs
apply preventative methods
and dramatically reduce the risk of an acute attack.
The 6 week Laminitis Warning Signs Program provides you with:
Understanding of the causes and signs of laminitis so it’s not so mysterious
A strategic plan for monitoring low grade laminitis signs so you can take action early
A blueprint for preventing laminitis that you can tailor to your specific needs
Weekly live support and guidance so you can get all your questions answered
Ongoing twice monthly support sessions after the program is over
Laminitis isn’t just for fat ponies it can affect any horse, even competition horses, even horses who have never had it before (no horse ever does until the first time)
Managing laminitis isn’t just about restricting diet or reducing sugar intake. A laminitic needs a balanced, species appropriate environment that promotes health and wellbeing. Not just starvation and restriction.

The Laminitis Warning Signs Program is for you

EVERY HORSE OWNER SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE
Gillian Halpin
I took part in the first ever run of this course in 2019. The past few years, it seemed more and more people were telling their sad - often heartbreaking - stories of a beloved horse or pony coming down with laminitis.
The course promised an insight into all those little signs and indicators that build up almost under the radar before a horse goes down with laminitis ‘out of the blue’ . Did the course deliver on the promise? Totally!
Packed with learning, not just about the feet but also the health and well-being of the whole horse. A really accessible and friendly learning experience at everyone’s own pace, with a group discussion each week to ask anything... and never feel daft asking.
Since completing the course, I’ve joined in with group sessions on later courses and followed the discussions - and each time there’s been something new to think about. I’ve shouted about this course each time it’s ran because I really do believe the knowledge gained here can be a life-saver


EYE OPENER
Lesley OATS
I wondered whether to do this course when it was run, earlier in the Spring. My pony has EMS and I'd already done lots of online research and picked my trimmers brains to death. However, how wrong could I have been.
The Laminitis Warning Signs course filled in all the gaps the online research couldn't. The course provided me with a practical toolkit to pick up those early signs, helping to avert a full blown attack.
I really liked the interactive format and the group chat, question and answer sessions. Debs was so patient with all our questions and this was another good way to learn. Thank you. Has helped me tremendously.

Laminitis Friendly Feeding List
It can be so difficult trying to figure out what to feed your horse.
Every product sounds great if you read the packaging, but how do you know what you’re actually buying and whether it’s suitable for your horse?
The Laminitis Friendly Feeding List removes most of the work (and the stress!).
Everything on the list is suitable for a laminitic, and descriptions will let you know whether the feed is beneficial for your horse specifically.
2
Supplements That Actually Work
If feeds aren’t confusing enough, supplements can be even worse.
And they can be so expensive!
Cut out the confusion with this list that explains what the supplements do, if your horse needs them or not and whether they’re worth the cost.

Ultimate Guide to Soaking Hay
Steam or soak. Hay or haylage. Soak for 30 mins, 2hrs, 4hrs or 12hrs.
There’s so much conflicting advice how are you ever supposed to work out what to do for the best…
The Ultimate guide to soaking hay lays everything out in a simple way, and helps you figure out what your horse needs and the easiest way to achieve that.

Therapeutic Pads for Laminitis Recovery
Therapeutic pads are amazing, both for increasing your horses comfort and encouraging healthy growth.

5
A Simple Technique to Monitor Workload
When your horse is recovering from laminitis how can you be sure you’re doing enough to encourage recovery, but not so much you’re overdoing it!
Use this simple technique that tells you if you’re stimulating or impeding healing in the hooves.
6
Gut Friendly Management Plan
The traditional way of managing a laminitic may achieve some of the desired goals, but it’s so far removed from a horse’s innate physical needs.
It can cause a lot of stress and suffering for both the horse and the owner!
There are ways to manage the environment that are much more species appropriate, stimulate healing and provide a good standard of life.
Everyone is happier (and often this approach is cheaper too!)
