The Laminitis Clinic is the UK's only veterinary facility dedicated to the treatment of horses with hoof problems. Most of our cases are suffering from laminitis, acute and chronic founder, sinking syndrome and Cushing's disease. TLC was established in 1988 since when hundreds of horses and ponies have been treated; most of which successfully, enabling them to return to their previous work or use. Most of our cases are referred by practicing veterinary surgeons. We provide a telephone advice line and an X-ray reporting service whereby we provide advice on treatment options and prognosis.

Having reached this site there is a good chance that your horse has laminitis. We are here to help you to do your best for your horse and to achieve a speedy recovery. Laminitis is an emergency condition and you should call your veterinary surgeon right away. Time is of the essence in dealing successfully with laminitis. Delay or doing the wrong things often results in horses having to be destroyed.

Due to popular demand I have been persuaded to publish my book "Explaining Laminitis and its Prevention" on this website. Since first publication in 1992 this book has sold over 12,000 copies, quite unusual for a private publication. Horse and pony owners, farriers and veterinary surgeons have found it to be a most useful handbook when trying to deal with laminitis. I hope you do too. Just click the link below.
