This free resource reviews current scientific research into Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and laminitis, with a specific focus on the role of the hindgut microbiome.
It is designed for horse owners and professionals who want a clearer, evidence-led understanding of:
why some horses are more metabolically sensitive
how gut health interacts with insulin regulation
why laminitis risk fluctuates with season and management
The resource also includes discussion of microbiome patterns observed in horses with EMS and laminitis history.
