The Talk About Laminitis initiative continues to do sterling work in awareness-raising but also crucially in increasing the information we have about the disease and related conditions.
PPID (Cushing’s disease) is a significant risk factor for developing the devastating disease of laminitis, but thanks to this initiative, more cases can be identified early.
We encourage all horse owners, who are concerned about PPID in their horses, to take up this fantastic complimentary offer.
