The Laminitis Site
We are currently updating and rewriting this website - in between looking after our resident horses & ponies and dealing with urgent laminitis cases.  Thank you for your patience :)
​
What we do

​1.  We rehabilitate
We rehabilitate and help horses and ponies affected by laminitis and other foot problems, equine metabolic syndrome (EMS), insulin dysregulation (ID) and PPID at our small farm and in our local area in France, and around the world via the internet.  We have helped several horses recover from pedal bone pentrations.  Read about our rehabilitations.

Danae recovered successfully from pedal bone penetrations on 3 feet.

2.  We rescue
We offer a permanent home to a small number of horses and ponies that require long-term care following laminitis, neglect or other health issues, like Dolly who was rescued with severely overgrown feet.  Dan, Polly, Skipper and Ziggy are our current herd.  Meet our herd.
