Brilliant explanation linked to research of something I see most often.

It’s so important to…

A) look at the horse as a whole, we all know this but do we all..

B) work alongside and COMMUNICATE with other equine professionals such as farriers, vets etc to ensure that we are working on the pieces of the puzzle together and breaking the compensatory cycle, not just ‘treating’ the symptoms in our own little box!

Negative plantar angle was associated with multiple areas of clinically relevant increased surface emissivity along the dorsal myofascial line.

High levels of insulin - commonly associated with excess body fat in a number of breeds and types including native ponies and Spanish horses (PRE/Andalusian) - has a degradative effect on cartilage which long term, is likely to increase the risk of arthritis.

Chronic obesity can have a threefold harmful effects on the joints:

1. excess weight
2. systemic fat (adipose)-tissue related inflammation
3. excess insulin (hyperinsulinaemia) which appears to have a degradative effect on joint cartilage (research shows evidence)

If you want to learn about this and lots more, then my webinar all about nutrition for mobility will be just the thing.

There is also a webinar on what matters for the metabolism which will cover more information relevant to this area.

Comment webinars to get all the details.
