Horses and ponies prone to laminitis need a high fibre, low starch and low sugar diet which also provides a balanced supply of vitamins, minerals and quality protein. Use the following tips as a guide but seek advice from a nutritionist to ensure that the feeds you choose are suitable for your individual horse or pony:
Choose fibre based feeds that are low in starch and sugar
Avoid all cereals and mixes
Remember feeds to do need to be molasses free or sugar free
The most suitable option for your horse/ pony may not be approved by The Laminitis Trust or mention laminitis on the bag – speak to a nutritionist for more advice
