Laminitis – A Holistic Guide
Laminitis – A Holistic Guide
Biomechanics, metabolism, and hoof trimming explained in an understandable way – backed by 16 years of practical experience.
For many horse owners, laminitis is one of the most frightening subjects of all – and at the same time, one of the most misunderstood topics in horse care. This e-book brings together two perspectives that are far too rarely considered together in practice: the biomechanics of the hoof and the metabolic disorders that can underlie laminitis.
What awaits you:
- How hoof shape, palmar angle, and hoof trimming decisively influence recovery after laminitis
- Understandable background information on insulin, fructan, and EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome) as common triggers
- Concrete, everyday approaches to feeding, management, and metabolic support
- How to recognize early warning signs – including the support of the Laminitis Alarm App
- Practical examples from 16 years of working with laminitic horses
Who is this e-book for? For anyone who truly wants to understand their horse – whether for prevention, during an acute crisis, or throughout long-term rehabilitation. You do not need any prior knowledge to get started, but you will look at hooves and metabolism with completely different eyes afterward.
About the Author Alexandra Wilhelm is a graduate biologist and has been working as a hoof expert in practice for 16 years. In this book, she shares her personal observations, experiences, and the approaches developed from them – as a personal field report.
Note: This e-book does not replace a veterinary examination, diagnosis, or treatment and serves exclusively for the transfer of knowledge.
Available now as an e-book (PDF) – for your own rehabilitation journey or as a knowledge base surrounding the horse, laminitis, metabolism, and hoof trimming.
