Support The Laminitis Trust With SPILLERS HAPPY HOOF®

Laminitis is every horse owner’s nightmare. It can affect any horse or pony at any time but SPILLERS® is committed to helping you to keep your horse as safe as possible. This year the feed company is donating 20p to The Laminitis Trust from every bag of SPILLERS HAPPY HOOF® sold during the months of April and May 2012. “Laminitis is a serious condition that can cause real heart ache for an owner,” explains Clare Barfoot RNutr, the research and development manager at SPILLERS®. Although research has advanced our knowledge of it, many aspects continue to elude us. Further research is needed, especially to understand why some horses and ponies are more susceptible than others if we are to reduce occurrences of the condition in the future.” What is already known is that diet-related laminitis is the easiest to manage. Low starch, high fibre feeds such as the Laminitis Trust approved SPILLERS HAPPY HOOF®, have been identified as the safest choice for those who are prone to laminitis. It’s also important to restrict access to grass and to provide regular exercise. The Laminitis Trust, founded in 1998, is the only registered charity dedicated to supporting research into equine laminitis. For every bag of SPILLERS HAPPY HOOF® sold during April and May this year SPILLERS® will be donating 20p to help support The Trust’s important work. “In this way not only will you be helping to keep your horse or pony safe but you will also be helping to provide crucial support for others in the future,” said Clare.
