Art is fed Condition Mix day to day, and switches onto Performance before any big competitions or training days. Jonty first met Art when he was driving home from an event and came to the rescue of a broken-down horse box. He offered to take the stranded gelding back to his yard and he never left!
Sophie Hunt
Feeds used: Fibre Balance and Easy, ReFuel after training.

Ellis competes at Working Hunter, as well as affiliated showjumping, dressage and eventing! The most recent addition to her team is Lottie, who arrived with Ellis on loan in March 2024. Ellis says “Lottie arrived very tucked up and her owners had warned she dropped weight easily as she is quite a highly strung girl – and boy oh boy they weren’t lying! She had mainly had a cube-based diet before so when we tried to put her straight on to Pure Condition she wouldn’t eat it, but by adding the Condition cubes to it all of a sudden won her over. Now she is back to just eating the Pure Condition Mix and she’s going the best she’s ever felt, and her owners couldn’t believe how well she looked as normally she drops weight in peak showing season due to the excitement and stress of it all!”
Megan Devonport
Feeds used: Working, with ReFuel after competing
Megan has been a valued member of the team since she first trialled the feed at the start of 2024. It was vital to Megan that any feed she used was non-heating and kind to her ulcer prone gelding Cooley Hawk’s gut. After we reached out to discuss a potential partnership, Megan trialled Pure Working and after just 1 month was already blown away by the difference in her horses! Megan events Cooley Hawk at Novice level, while skilfully producing her young mare Cali, she exemplifies dedication and passion in the sport, and we are so proud to have her as part of the team here at Pure Feed.

Laminitis: What You Need to Know🚨
Laminitis is painful & serious - but understanding the causes can help prevent it! 🐴⚠️
🔸 Diet - High sugar/starch = insulin spikes & laminar damage.
🔸 Metabolic disorders - EMS & PPID increase laminitis risk.
🔸 Hard surfaces - Repetitive concussion can trigger mechanical laminitis.
🔸 Inflammation - Colic, infections, or illness can cause toxic laminitis.
🔸 Obesity - Excess fat = higher insulin resistance.
💡 How to Reduce the Risk
✔️ Low-starch, high-fibre diet (all Pure Feeds are low in sugar and starch ✅)
✔️ Limit grazing-spring & autumn grass = high sugar!
✔️ Encourage movement-even light work improves insulin sensitivity.
✔️ Keep weight in check—a low-calorie balancer like Pure Balance helps.

Is Grass Safe for Laminitis-Prone Horses? 🌱
Not all grass is equal! Sugar levels (NSCs) change depending on time, season & temperature 🌡️
Gazing times explained:
☀️ Morning (before 10 AM) - Safer ✅ (NSC levels lower overnight).
🔆 Midday-Afternoon - High risk 🚨 (Sun = NSC spike!).
🌙 Evening/Night - Varies 🤔 (Cold temps = sugar accumulation).
🚨 Spring & Autumn = Peak Risk! 🚨
Fast-growing spring grass + stressed autumn pasture = laminitis danger zone.
💡 Minimise Risk
✅ Turn out early morning before NSC levels rise.
✅ Use a grazing muzzle-reduces intake without full restriction.
✅ Feed low-NSC forage (soaked hay is a great option!).
✅ Balance the diet with low-sugar, high-fibre feeds (like Pure Feed!)

🐴 How Horses Use Sugar & Starch for Energy
Not all energy sources are the same! Here’s how your horse digests & uses sugar vs starch:
🔬 Digestion 101
✔️ Sugar = Quick absorption → Immediate energy.
✔️ Starch = Enzymatic breakdown → Stored as glycogen for later.
⚡️ How the Body Uses Them
✅ Fast fuel for exercise – Muscles use glucose for movement.
✅ Stored glycogen – Acts as an energy reserve.
✅ Converted to fat – Excess sugar is stored long-term.
✅ Gut balance – Too much starch can disrupt hindgut pH, leading to acidosis & colic.
⚖️ The Right Balance = Healthy Metabolism & Performance
✔️ Forage first – Hay/grass provide fibre-based energy.
✔️ Low-starch feeds – Prevent insulin spikes & digestive issues.
✔️ Slow-release fuels – Fibre & oil provide energy without sugar crashes.

Laminitis is more than just sore feet-it’s a serious condition affecting the sensitive laminae inside the hoof. But did you know there are different types, each with a unique cause? 👇
🧬 1️⃣ Metabolic Laminitis (Most Common)
🔎 Too much insulin weakens the laminae, increasing damage risk.
Triggered by hormonal imbalances like:
✅ EMS – Often seen in overweight horses with insulin resistance
✅ Cushing’s (PPID) – Common in older horses with a curly coat & muscle loss
🔥 2️⃣ Inflammatory Laminitis
🔎 Too much insulin weakens the laminae, increasing damage risk.
Caused by gut disturbances & illness, such as:
✅ Colic or infections releasing toxins into the bloodstream
✅ Cereal overload, upsetting gut bacteria & triggering inflammation
⏳ 3️⃣ Mechanical Laminitis
🔎 Excess pressure restricts blood flow, weakening the laminae. Occurs when hooves bear too much weight, due to:
✅ Injury, forcing weight onto one limb
✅ Poor hoof balance or hard surfaces
💡 Prevention Starts with Nutrition!
A low sugar, low starch, high fibre diet helps stabilise insulin, reduce inflammation & support gut health. Our laminitis-safe feeds provide balanced nutrition - without cereals or molasses!

Laminitis is more than just sore feet-it’s a serious condition affecting the sensitive laminae inside the hoof. But did you know there are different types, each with a unique cause? 👇
🧬 1️⃣ Metabolic Laminitis (Most Common)
🔎 Too much insulin weakens the laminae, increasing damage risk.
Triggered by hormonal imbalances like:
✅ EMS – Often seen in overweight horses with insulin resistance
✅ Cushing’s (PPID) – Common in older horses with a curly coat & muscle loss
🔥 2️⃣ Inflammatory Laminitis
🔎 Too much insulin weakens the laminae, increasing damage risk.
Caused by gut disturbances & illness, such as:
✅ Colic or infections releasing toxins into the bloodstream
✅ Cereal overload, upsetting gut bacteria & triggering inflammation
⏳ 3️⃣ Mechanical Laminitis
🔎 Excess pressure restricts blood flow, weakening the laminae. Occurs when hooves bear too much weight, due to:
✅ Injury, forcing weight onto one limb
✅ Poor hoof balance or hard surfaces
