I am taking an equine nutrition course at the University of Guelph and am doing a paper on laminitis. I am specifically focusing on laminitis caused by an overload of pasture. I chose this, because my 2 Icelandics are the first 'ponies' I have ever owned and I am worried that they are at higher risk than average.
Does anyone have an idea how common is "grass founder" in icelandics? I gather it is fairly common in Iceland where the climate change is quite drastic, but what about here? Does anyone use special pasture management techniques or has this generally not been a problem? Laura in Ontario, Canada.
