Lets talk about Zinc.

Zinc is an important ingredient in equine skin and hoof care, and for good reason.

Skin health - Zinc supports normal skin integrity and plays a role in wound healing and tissue repair.

Hoof health - Zinc is involved in keratin production, a key protein that helps form the hoof wall.

Skin protection - Certain zinc-based ingredients, such as zinc oxide, can help provide a protective barrier against moisture and external irritants.

At The Equid Apothecary, we believe good horse care starts with understanding what goes into your products.
Because ingredients matter!
A little ingredient knowledge goes a long way!

Fresh spring grass can be delicious, but for horses at risk of laminitis, it’s worth having a management plan before the paddock turns into an all you can eat buffet.

As spring gets into full swing, make sure you:

🌱Know your horse’s laminitis risk factors
🌱Monitor their body condition
🌱Keep an eye on pasture and grazing time
🌱Know what their normal digital pulses feel like
🌱Watch for subtle changes in movement
🌱Have a management plan in place

And remember, laminitis doesn’t always start with obvious lameness. If you notice increased digital pulses, warm feet, reluctance to move, a change in gait, or any other signs that concern you, contact your veterinarian.

If you suspect laminitis, don’t wait for your horse to become obviously lame before seeking veterinary advice.

Save this one for your spring pasture planning 🌱🐴

Another family member is on its way and we wanted to drop you some hinties!…

If we’re being honest - this product has probably just about sent us grey. We have been working on this formulation pretty much since day dot. It has seen so many variations and forms and we’ve almost launched about 3 times now. We know it works! The hold backs were always the superficial details....

It’ll all be worth it though, because, its pretty special...

Stay tuned 👀
