🧠🐴 Understanding Laminitis – Learning That Saves Lives 🐴🧠
As part of our Grooms Course, our students have been learning about laminitis – a serious and unfortunately common condition that can affect many horses.
This is such an important topic, as understanding the why, how, and what to look for can make all the difference in early intervention and prevention 🚨
Our learners explored:
🔍 What laminitis is and what happens inside the hoof
⚠️ The signs to look out for
🥕 How diet and management play a huge role
🏃♂️ The importance of correct exercise and routine
At TEAL, this learning is brought to life through our own horses 💛
Both Ben and Sam have EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome), which makes them more susceptible to laminitis. Because of this, our students are actively involved in:
🌱 Managing grass intake
🥕 Controlling diet
🏃 Supporting appropriate exercise routines
This hands-on, real-life learning helps our students truly understand responsibility, prevention and welfare-first care 🐎
✨ Learning that isn’t just theory… but skills that protect and support horses every single day
