Sam’s Determination Keeps Pony Ed Fit and Happy

Now 15-years-old, Welsh Section A pony, Ed first experienced laminitis at the age of five and his devoted owner Sam Bull has done everything in her power ever since to keep him happy and comfortable.
Sam first came across Ed when a friend bought a host of foals from the sales and she was asked if she could keep an eye on them.
Said Sam: “Ed was in a stable with two other ponies who bullied him so much he literally jumped into his haynet and got stuck.
“Fortunately I was there and able to cut him down and when he was free he came running over to me and put his head in my arms.
“With that I just had to have him and bought him aged five-and-a-half months just weaned.”
Sam originally purchased him with the plan of finding him a nice home but she quickly became attached and he has been with her ever since as a companion to her horses.
Standing just 11.3hh, Sam has always kept a close watch on Ed’s weight and never expected him to get laminitis.
Adds Sam: “I first noticed Ed was standing with the typical laminitis stance but initially if I kept him in for two days it would go. He wasn’t overweight or anything and it soon went away.
“Ed could be fine one minute and half an hour later he was terrible. I decided to keep a diary and asked the vets to carry out a blood test which showed his insulin was very high and he was diagnosed with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS).
“For the last five summers he has been really well and it is only the last two winters where the problem flared up again and his hooves became really sensitive.”

New LaminAid and PodoSens from Cavalor

NEW from Cavalor this spring are LaminAid and PodoSens.


Cavalor LaminAid is recommended for horses and ponies with sensitive hooves due to metabolic problems.
It supports the sensitive intestinal flora and brings hormonal and metabolic processes back into balance while improving blood circulation and flow in the hoof.
Cavalor LaminAid is a unique, balanced combination of several essential oils including Eucalyptus globulus, Allium sativum and Betula alba. When incorporated into a blend, they complement each other and have a synergistic benefit.
Horses and ponies prone to sensitivity in the hooves, caused by metabolic issues, may have problems with endotoxin leakage in the digestive system and high amounts of insulin in the blood. This can lead to problems in the lamellar cells.
Cavalor LaminAid helps provide multifaceted support that works at different levels to assist with overcoming issues holistically. The blend of essential oils has an antioxidative and antibacterial effect.
Also new to the range is Cavalor Podosens a hoof oil that helps to provide external relief for sensitive hooves and contributes to their faster recovery.
It contains some of the essential oils that are also present in LaminAid, including Betula alba and Eucalyptus globulus.
Applying the oil twice a day to the hoof and/or the sole of the hoof helps by increasing circulation and bringing quick relief to sensitive hooves. Betula alba may also promote the elasticity of the hoof and promotes hoof growth.
LaminAid – 1litre – RRP £91
PodoSens – 500ml – RRP £38
Combi Box containing both – RRP £119
