Spring is here! And so is the risk of founder and laminitis!

It's great to see the lush, green grass of spring, and important to know that beautiful, fast-growing spring grass stores much more sugar than it needs for growth, and definitely more than most horses should consume in quantity. Too much of the good stuff can cause grass founder or laminitis, which is the inflammation of the laminae of the horse's foot, an extremely painful and dangerous condition.
