The Laminitis Site was founded by researcher Andrea Jones and her husband Dr Martin Lefley after nursing their Irish cob Homer through laminitis with severe rotation in all 4 feet. Pat Laing, owner of Casareño, joined the directors in 2015.
Who we are - Team TLS
|
Founder and Director Andrea works full-time in the fields of equine laminitis and nutrition. As well as running The Laminitis Site rehabilitation centre, Andrea writes the websites and social media posts, administers the Friend of TLS support group, is involved in various research projects, assists owners, vets and hoofcare professionals around the world with rehabilitation cases, lectures on laminitis and nutrition, writes articles for international publications, and organizes fund raising events.
Mary is The Laminitis Site's hoof care professional and an essential part of the rehab team. Mary has trimmed all of TLS's successful pedal bone penetration cases and helped countless horses with laminitis, navicular and other foot problems back to soundness. The horse's comfort always comes first for Mary, even if this means working in some very strange positions! Mary's extensive knowledge and experience are the foundation of the foot care clinics and training sessions run by TLS.

Martin nursed Homer through laminitis
Director Martin has an MSc in statistics, a PhD in artificial intelligence, and over 1000 citations from papers he authored during his career as a university lecturer/reader, and brings his research and computing experience to TLS.
Pat's first ride on Casareño 10 months after he developed severe rotation in all 4 feet following a corticosteroid injection
Director Pat joined TLS in April 2015, having retired early from a career in business analysis, strategic planning and project management to live in Spain. She has owned ponies and horses all her life and has enjoyed competing and teaching.
In 2014 she nursed one of her horses through a severe case of corticosteroid-induced laminitis with the help of TLS - see Casareño's recovery. Pat deals with TLS administration, particularly computer systems and memberships. The Laminitis Site is assisted by vets, researchers and hoof care experts around the world, all of whom have had first hand experience of laminitis. Everyone involved with TLS works on a voluntary (unpaid) basis. |
RIP Homer - he is the reason The Laminitis Site exists

The Laminitis Site is recognised by HM Revenue & Customs as a charity, and donations made to The Laminitis Site are eligible for the Gift Aid scheme. The Laminitis Site is a charity, but is not registered with the Charity Commission, as only charities with an annual income of over £5,000 can register with the Charity Commission, and The Laminitis Site's income is currently below that threshold.
In 2020, as our hands-on rehabilitation work and fund raising activities were increasing in France, we registered as an association in Charente, France: The Laminitis Site France, Association No: W163004578. |
