Laminitis is one of the most painful and frightening conditions a horse owner can face — but understanding WHY it happens is one of the most important parts of managing the horse correctly.
The AHFS Laminitis in Horses Educational eBook is a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide written specifically for everyday horse owners.
We have taken the complicated veterinary and scientific terminology surrounding laminitis and explained it in normal horse-owner language, while supporting the information with published scientific research.

This eBook has been written with the South African equine owner in mind.
Our grazing conditions, climate, roughage and feeding systems can differ considerably from those discussed in overseas articles, so we have deliberately avoided simplistic statements such as one particular grass, teff or lucerne automatically being “safe” or “unsafe”.
The individual horse, total diet and underlying metabolic health all matter.

We also explain where AHFS products may fit into the bigger management picture, including:
AHFS Laminitis Mix • AHFS Metabolic Balance Mix • AHFS Happy Hair • AHFS Trace Mineral Mix • AHFS MetaboBites, as well as relevant individual herbs, spices and nutritional ingredients.
Most importantly, we explain what each product can realistically support — and what it cannot do.
AHFS products are complementary nutritional/herbal support. They do not replace veterinary diagnosis, medication, pain management, radiographs, correct feeding or appropriate farrier care.

DON’T JUST LOOK AT THE HOOF. ASK WHY.
Understanding the underlying reason a horse developed laminitis can be just as important as managing the painful feet.
