Event Details
Warmer temperatures and longer days trigger the growing season. Pastures become lush and store more sugars for growth and reproduction. This is the time when owners of horses that are sensitive for developing laminitis are starting to worry about the well-being of their horse. However, while most cases of laminitis happen during these growing peaks, laminitis can happen throughout the year and on different pastures including temperature and tropical. In this webinar we will discuss what makes pastures accumulate sugars, which pasture/legume species to watch out for and how to best manage pasture and horses to reduce the risk of laminitis.
