i have 2 ponies and a large horse on about 5.5 acres,i am new to keeping horses on my own land and have never had laminitic ponies before.
my large horse is extremely bonded with one of the ponies and frets terribly if i take her out of sight or even if she is merely seperated by an electric fence.
i have a 36 inch shetland i took on a few months ago,bit of a rescue case so i don’t know much of her history,she has a large floppy crest which i have noticed is getting harder recently.i am worried she is showing signs of laminitus.
i really need advise on what to do for the best,should i muzzle the ponies in the day and take them off at night?should i try and seperate the ponies in the day and put them in a starvation paddock(this would stress my horse out big style)and let them graze at night?should i muzzle the ponies 24/7 and leave them out? i feel so cruel and want to make the right decision,can anyone help,ideally i need to keep all 3 together as the big lad will go loopy if his girls are not at his beck and call!!
also,the one pony has never had laminitus but does have a hard crest,she has had this since i purchased her a year ago,is this normal or is she permanently on the brink of coming down with laminitus,she is always a bit overweight,however she stays pretty much the same weight all year round.
any advise would be greatly appreciated,i keep my horses at home and don’t have a network of people to turn to for help.
