A scroll-stopping post recently landed in my inbox - Target (a huge American retailer) is ๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐˜€๐˜†๐—ป๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ฑ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐˜€ from its stores.

It may not sound revolutionary - but when a retailer that size shifts its standards, manufacturers stop and think.

Now imagine if our feed merchants refused to stock horse feeds full of additives...

โ€ข ๐™‰๐™ค wheatfeed/oatfeed/soya or any of the other numerous junk fillers
โ€ข ๐™‰๐™ค artificial flavours (apple/cherry - I mean, letโ€™s just hook Ned into a sugar
addiction)
โ€ข ๐™‰๐™ค synthetic vit/min premixes
.. and equine feed producers actually listened?

Retailers shape markets - but we, as consumers, shape retailers. And Ned? His improved health shapes us and how we feed him (or her of course).

Small change to big ripple indeed. One to ponder, especially during the seasonal metabolic spring shift...

Weโ€™ve spent this month talking about metabolic horses โ€“ spring grass, gut changes, magnesium, leptin, the lami risk โ€“ and how the ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ system responds.

And this oneโ€™s worth knowing about if weโ€™re considering skinnying our EMS horse slim to encourage weight loss, because it actually become harder for the body to regulate once it begins:

โ€ข It triggers the body into an energy crisis
โ€ข The body goes into emergency mode to utilise fat and protein reserves to keep things going.

And this is where things can tip, because...

The horse isnโ€™t designed to rely on fats or proteins as a primary energy source. Which meansโ€ฆ instead of being used efficiently, those circulating fats begin to accumulate in the blood. Worst case? Liver and renal failure.

Agreed, not so long ago the focus was often on restriction at all costs. Today? Over-restriction can be just as destabilising as overfeeding, which is why the conversation around metabolic horses has shifted so much:

โ€ข Itโ€™s not about restriction at all costs
โ€ข Itโ€™s about steady, supported balance

Weโ€™ve unpacked this fully in our latest blog โ€“ the โ€œhowโ€, the โ€œwhyโ€, and the โ€œwhat to do insteadโ€:
๐Ÿ“– https://www.equinatural.co.uk/hyperlipidemia-in-horses-ems-risk-prevention

Hyperlipidemia is a very real reminder of how sensitive the metabolic system can be. And perhaps more importantly, it reinforces a message weโ€™ve come back to time and time again:

โ€ข Itโ€™s not just about weight
โ€ข Itโ€™s not just about grass
โ€ข Itโ€™s about how the whole system is coping

Weโ€™ve come a long way in how we understand laminitis. Not so long ago, it was seen as something that โ€œjust happenedโ€ โ€“ too much grass, a seasonal risk, even just bad luck... These days we understand it differently.

For many horses, laminitis isnโ€™t a random event at all. Itโ€™s the end point of a metabolic process thatโ€™s been building silently in the background โ€“ and at the centre of that picture is insulin. Not just sugar intakeโ€ฆ but how the body responds to it.

When insulin levels remain elevated โ€“ whether through diet, metabolic dysfunction, or underlying conditions โ€“ it begins to affect the delicate structures within the hoof, including:
โ€ข Blood flow
โ€ข Cellular signalling
โ€ข Inflammatory pathways

And what we see on the outside โ€“ the footiness, the heat, the reluctance to move โ€“ is only the visible part of something much deeper.

Laminitis is now understood as a multi-metabolic, multi-system condition โ€“ not simply a hoof problem. And of course, not all footiness is laminitis โ€“ which is why context always matters. What makes laminitis particularly challenging is that it doesn't always announce itself clearly โ€“ it can be easy to miss โ€“ until it isnโ€™t.

During Covid lockdown, our little thug MacAttack went down with laminitis. No subtle signs with him - I did not see it coming. No event lines, no rocked-back stance - just blazing hot hooves and a pony rooted to the spot, typically at the furthest point away from the gate in a 10-acre field.

Looking back, it was a perfect example of how quickly things can tip when the underlying metabolic picture is already under pressure - thereโ€™s no question I got it wrong. A routine heโ€™d been on for years, a switch from winter to summer field, and me assuming he'd be fine like always. But he wasnโ€™t - and it took just 48-hours.

Laminitis needs to be more about awareness โ€“ understanding whatโ€™s driving it, and less about us urgently having to "react".

If youโ€™re managing a horse with chronic IR/laminitis, you may have heard of the new class of medication making waves - and it's worth having on your radar. These are the ๐—ฆ๐—š๐—Ÿ๐—ง๐Ÿฎ inhibitor drugs - a bit of a mouthful, but behind the acronym lies a potential breakthrough for horses with stubborn insulin resistance.

Two names to know - ๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ป๐˜ช๐˜ฏ (aka ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฎยฎ) and ๐˜Œ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜จ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ป๐˜ช๐˜ฏ (๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ผยฎ). Originally developed for human diabetes, these drugs are now being explored in equine cases where insulin levels are out of control and laminitis is knocking at the door.

They work by blocking glucose reabsorption in the kidneys - in plain English, they help the body wee out excess sugar, easing the burden on insulin production and bringing blood sugar levels down.

Results? Promising. Weโ€™re talking "normalised" insulin levels, visible loss of fat pads, and in many cases, dramatic improvement in laminitis pain. For some horses, they've been a game-changer โ€“ especially in crisis situations.

But, as with all breakthroughs, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜†'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป.

These meds can come with ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜€, especially if weโ€™re not watching carefully. While UTI's and dehydration are rarely seen in horses so far, one surprise complication has emerged: ๐˜ฉ๐˜บ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ญ๐˜บ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ข - elevated fat levels in the blood, which if left unchecked can lead to fatty liver. The good news? We can manage this with a smart feeding plan and close monitoring.

If youโ€™re considering these meds for your horse, hereโ€™s whatโ€™s advised:

โœ… ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ โ€“ check kidney function and triglyceride levels.

Used thoughtfully and with a good nutritional foundation, SGLT2 inhibitors could offer a lifeline to horses at high risk. But - ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜†โ€™๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—น๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜ - they work best as part of a whole-horse strategy.

For deeper dives and vet-led insight, we always recommend checking out the brilliant work by Dr. Eleanor Kellon VMD, whoโ€™s been closely following the use of these meds in equine practice.

If youโ€™re a horse owner navigating the dreaded spring grass season alongside EMS, youโ€™ll know how frustrating it is to feel like youโ€™re constantly firefighting - too fat, too cresty, too footy.

So when one of my favourite IFM mentors (Institute of Functional Medicine) โ€“ Dr Mark Hyman - recently dropped a podcast titled โ€œ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜‹๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜•๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ: ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜š๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜‰๐˜ช๐˜จ ๐˜”๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜๐˜จ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ,โ€ I got very excited โ€“ because, as always, the crossovers to equine health are impossible to ignore. In fact, theyโ€™re positively galloping.

Here's the standout quote that stopped me in my tracks:
โ€œ๐˜๐˜ง ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜น๐˜ช๐˜ฏ, ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ."

Why? Because whether horse or human, the pattern is the same:
โ€ข Too much sugar
โ€ข Too much processed input
โ€ข Not enough movement
โ€ข And a metabolic system that simply canโ€™t keep up

Sound familiar? We see it every spring - the crest that wonโ€™t shift, the weight that piles on out of nowhere, footy hooves, and the silent dread that it's all going to go south into lami territory...

Hereโ€™s the thing - EMS isnโ€™t just about weight - itโ€™s about how the body handles energy. And when that system is under pressure โ€“ whether in people or ponies โ€“ the symptoms start to look very similar.

This is exactly what I cover in this weekโ€™s blog:
โ€ข The surprising parallels between human metabolic research and equine health
โ€ข Why itโ€™s not just about calories
โ€ข How a more natural, systems-based approach can start to change the picture

When we understand whatโ€™s really driving the problem, we can finally start working ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ the horseโ€™s biology, not against it.

Hereโ€™s to staying one step ahead this spring.

If youโ€™ve got a horse who's always hungry, always mugging you for food, and holding onto that stubborn crest no matter what you doโ€ฆ meet ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ.

Itโ€™s not just about weight - it's about hormone communication - or lack of it. Leptin is the hormone that tells your horse โ€œYouโ€™ve had enough food so stop eating,โ€ and โ€œYouโ€™ve got enough stored energy now.โ€

But - when that message stops getting through, the body behaves as if itโ€™s still in a state of need. So Ned keeps eating, weight keeps creeping on, and that crest becomes almighty hard to shift.

Think of it like a broken signal. The body is sending the messageโ€ฆ but the wifi crashed on the way.

No question - leptin resistance is often the hidden driver behind many of the challenges we face with our EMS/IR horses โ€“ yet itโ€™s so often overlooked.

This hormonal imbalance disrupts appetite control, making horses feel constantly hungry even when their fat stores are already more than adequate.

If youโ€™d like to understand this properly (and itโ€™s well worth it), Iโ€™ve broken it down fully in our blog: "๐˜“๐‘’๐˜ฑ๐‘ก๐˜ช๐‘› ๐‘…๐˜ฆ๐‘ ๐˜ช๐‘ ๐˜ต๐‘Ž๐˜ฏ๐‘๐˜ฆ - ๐˜ตโ„Ž๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐‘’๐˜ณ๐‘š๐˜ข๐‘›๐˜ฆ๐‘›๐˜ต๐‘™๐˜บ ๐˜ฉ๐‘ข๐˜ฏ๐‘”๐˜ณ๐‘ฆ โ„Ž๐˜ฐ๐‘Ÿ๐˜ด๐‘’"
โ†’ https://www.equinatural.co.uk/leptin-resistance-the-permanently-hungry-horse-harnessing-hormones-the-science-behind-leptin-resistance

When leptin resistance is part of the picture, our EMS horses often need a little more help to reset those metabolic signalsโ€ฆ to calm the persistent hunger cues, soften that crest, and help their body respond to the leptin message as it should.

Every spring we hear it: spooky, stressy, Tigger-on-steroids energy. We usually blame the grass sugars sending our horse sky-high, but thereโ€™s another very real issue โ€“ a mineral imbalance between calcium and magnesium.

As spring grass grows, it ramps up in calcium โ€“ the mineral that powers muscle energy. Thing is, magnesium (which helps relax muscles and soothe the nervous system) doesnโ€™t increase at the same rate. That imbalance can lead to tense muscles and spooky behaviour - what we lovingly call 'Tigger syndrome'.

This leaves our horse wound up, tight, and reactive โ€“ no matter how much work we give them. Equally, if we're working them harder, i.e. competing or sweating more, they can burn through magnesium faster.

To explain it all, weโ€™ve unpacked the science in our blog, โ€˜๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Ž๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ ๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ฃ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆโ€™ โ†’ https://www.equinatural.co.uk/the-great-magnesium-calming-debate

If your horse turns full-on cowpat mode at this time of year, youโ€™re not imagining it.

Spring grass may be welcome after winter โ€“ but itโ€™s very different from hay. Over 60% more water, almost zero fibre, and a big shift in sugar and minerals โ€“ meaning the hindgut has to readjust fast, especially after a winter of dry hay.

Our Murf was the king of the spring grass upset - one look at the spring grass and he was instant green sloppy cowpat boy. We always supported his hindgut with a course of ๐—š๐˜‚๐˜๐—•๐—ถ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€, a blend of traditional bitter herbs which gently nudge digestion back into balance.

The secret to bitter herbs is that the taste triggers something called the ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ง๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜น โ€“ when the tongue senses bitterness, it sets off a chain reaction, helping the gut stay balanced.

The grass is growing properly now. It looks lush, healthy, very yummy - and your horse couldn't be happier!

But hereโ€™s the thingโ€ฆ Spring grass isnโ€™t just โ€œmore grassโ€ - itโ€™s a completely different nutritional environment - fast growth, full of sugars, and way more energy than a horse actually needs.

And for some horses โ€“ especially our carb-intolerant good doers โ€“ this is where it starts to tip.

Youโ€™ll often see it before anything else, and all accompanied by an underlying sense, because you just know...

This is where EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome) and insulin resistance come in.

And despite what people often think, it's not just about weight - itโ€™s about how your horse handles sugar.

Think of it as a metabolic traffic jam โ€“ insulin is trying to do its job (moving glucose into the muscle cells for energy), but the cells are already full.

So glucose keeps circulatingโ€ฆ more insulin is producedโ€ฆ and thatโ€™s where the metabolic cascade begins.

So what actually helps? Hereโ€™s what matters:

๐ŸŒฑ ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ - Grass intake needs managing. Fibre becomes your anchor.

๐ŸŒฑ ๐— ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ - Regular movement improves how the body handles glucose โ€“ even the gentle kind.

๐ŸŒฑ ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜ - Blood glucose/insulin and appetite regulation are often the missing pieces, especially in those โ€œalways hungryโ€ types.

And this is the bit worth remembering - this isnโ€™t about restricting your horse into starvation misery. Itโ€™s about understanding whatโ€™s changing - and staying one step ahead of it, because...

If youโ€™ve got a horse who does too well on grass, youโ€™ll already know how quickly this can escalate.

Soโ€ฆ here comes April. The grass is growing properly now, the sugar levels are shifting - and your horse? Feeling rather pleased with life - with plenty of opinions about spring grass turnout and a huge appetite.

Lovely... until it tips the other way.

This is the time of year where metabolic changes sneak in quietly โ€“ then suddenly feel anything but.

โ€ข A crest thatโ€™s suddenly the size of a small country
โ€ข Fat pads that seem to appear overnight
โ€ข Footiness as soon as the grass changes
โ€ข Digital pulses you check more than your phone
โ€ข And that silent sinking feeling: โ€œOhOhโ€ฆ I know exactly where this is goingโ€

If youโ€™ve been here before, youโ€™ll know exactly what I mean. Welcome to my world โ€“ that of the EMS horse.

We donโ€™t take your trust lightly. Every message, every review, every update you share about your horses - we read them all, and acknowledge even quicker. And itโ€™s those small, real-life observations that mean the most to us:

No hype or big claims - just thoughtful owners, doing their best for their horses, and sharing what theyโ€™ve seen along the way. This is what our ๐—–๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—•๐—ผ๐˜„๐—น ๐—–๐—น๐˜‚๐—ฏ is really about.

If you've been thinking about a spring detox, or pollen reactions, or worming, or the Cushing's test, there's still a little time - our March sale ends tomorrow at midnight.

And if your horse falls into the metabolic space, our ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—น โ€œ๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐— ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐—›๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€โ€ ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฒ starts Wednesday!
