🚨 PSA for Horse Owners: Spring Grass = Hidden Danger 🌱🐴

That lush, green pasture might look like a dream right now—but it can actually pose a serious risk to your horse’s health.

Spring grass is packed with sugars (non-structural carbohydrates), especially when cool nights are followed by sunny days. For susceptible horses, this sudden sugar spike can trigger laminitis, an incredibly painful and potentially devastating hoof condition.

⚠️ Who is at the highest risk?⚠️

🌱Easy keepers and overweight horses

🌱Ponies and miniature horses

🌱Horses with metabolic issues (like Insulin Resistance, EMS, or Cushing’s/PPID)

👉 How to keep them safe:⚠️

-Limit turnout on rich pasture (especially in the mornings after cool nights).

-Use a grazing muzzle to restrict intake if they are on grass.

-Utilize dry lots for safe, controlled outdoor time.

-Monitor body condition and cresty necks closely.

-Consult with your vet to determine your horse's individual risk level.

💡 Remember: Even just a few hours on rich pasture can be enough to trigger a flare-up in vulnerable horses. Let’s say it plainly: keep the easy keepers off the rich grass right now. It’s simply not worth the risk.
