CAN A MUZZLE HELP AVOID LAMINITIS?.

What brings on laminitis in the first place? This is a complicated problem but if a horse is allowed to eat too much rich grain or grass, the bacteria in his intestines will be affected unfavorably. Bacterial poison will enter his bloodstream and cause laminitis.

To help with overgrazing, one might consider a Grazing Muzzle listed under Horse Products & Mini Horse Products which can help with overgrazing. This allows the horse better management and less restriction on his turnout time with his pasture mates.

Freedom Feeder

Lets look at the Horses digestive system, which never truly stop producing digestive acids and when their sensitive stomachs are empty of food they are stressed, prone to colic, ulcers and boredom. We feel the ideal way to feed is hay bags that similate pasture grazing as much as possible and highly recommend you try our new concept THE FREEDOM FEEDER which is available in Horse Size and now in half sizes (24" x 30") for use with Minis and in Trailers.

The great hay bags are made of 1/8"(3mm) Nylon mesh woven into 1-1/2" squares. This material has 250 lb. per strand of tensil strength and the large bag holds at least 35# of hay. These bags are extremely strong and horses take to them quickly.

The Mini small mesh hay nets were such a big hit at the Equine Affair in California in California that they sold out.

MINIATURE HORSES are especially prone to overeating and will spend much more time with this feeding concept!
