Laminitis Risk Assessment Package for Horses & Ponies

Available from 17th March – 30th April 2026

Protect your horse or pony this spring with our comprehensive laminitis risk assessment package, designed to support early detection, prevention, and ongoing management of laminitis.

What’s Included:

• Foot balance X-rays (one pair of feet)
• Blood sampling and laboratory testing for serum insulin levels
• Full clinical examination, including:
  • Body Condition Scoring
  • Weight assessment using a weigh tape or our weigh bridge at the clinic
  • General health check
  • Foot health evaluation
  • Diet and management review

This package is suitable for both routine screening in horses and ponies showing no clinical signs, as well as monitoring existing laminitis cases.

Why Is Laminitis Risk Assessment Important?

Hyperinsulinemia-Associated Laminitis (HAL) is the most common form of laminitis, accounting for over 90% of cases in horses and ponies. Often linked to raised insulin levels, HAL has largely replaced older terms such as pasture-associated and endocrine-related laminitis.

With spring grass increasing the risk of laminitis, early detection is key. Our assessment focuses on identifying subtle changes in the feet and underlying metabolic conditions, allowing us to create a tailored management plan to reduce your horse’s risk.

What Happens Next?

Following your horse’s assessment, our veterinary team will provide individualised advice on:

• Diet and grazing management
• Weight control
• Exercise planning
• Ongoing monitoring strategies

Our goal is to help you prevent laminitis where possible and manage it effectively where necessary, reducing the risk of long-term complications.

Please Note:

• Sedation (if required for X-rays) is not included
• Visit fee not included (not available on zone visits)
• Additional laboratory tests are not included
