Velcro Halter GREENGUARD

Save €15 on the purchase of a basket + halter + protection with code GREEN24

The Greenguard halter has been specially designed for use with the Greenguard basket. It features a padded noseband for comfort. The Velcro piece on the buckle simply detaches under a pull, so you don't need to replace a broken buckle.

Velcro on the fastening buckle for a perfect fit. Throat clip for quick release. Additional strap that fits over the front of the face to prevent the halter from moving. Greenguard logo on the side. Metal fasteners. This halter is a valuable aid in helping to prevent laminitis.

Please note: we do not recommend this halter for all ponies and clever horses that will pull on the Velcro every 5 minutes. For these, prefer the standard buckle version.

All baskets and halters, regardless of brand, are designed to break if snagged to save the lives of horses that are not designed to wear halters 24/7.

Of course, it can be frustrating when a basket breaks within a few days, but generally, it's because your horse either got stuck somewhere or stepped on the basket trying to remove it. It was better if it gave way.

Habituation frustration can lead to attempts to tear the basket off in the first few days. Once the horse understands it can eat, these behaviors diminish.

We therefore encourage you to adjust the baskets correctly, according to our instructions, to eliminate any hazards in the living areas, and to avoid trying to impose an overly restrictive basket from the outset. Rapid weight loss is dangerous and undesirable for the body.

PRECAUTIONS IN CASE OF A LAMINITIS OUTBREAK:

- RELEAF GOLD : a natural aspirin that acts as a rapid soother; use while the horse is in pain.

- NAV X GOLD : helps maintain a healthy and efficient circulatory system, stimulates circulation in the limbs, regulates heart rate, strengthens venous tissue, and acts as a vasodilator.

LAMINITIS PREVENTION:

You can help prevent laminitis by avoiding high-risk situations. The following is a non-exhaustive list of "causes", or circumstances that precede the onset of laminitis:

➢ Obesity.

➢ Eating too much grass high in sugars.

➢ Eating foods rich in carbohydrates or rapidly fermentable fiber, such as grains, coarse mixtures, and fast-growing crops.

➢ Any disease involving toxemia. This can be a bacterial infection or the ingestion of toxic plants or chemicals.

➢ Cushing's disease.

➢ Equine Metabolic Syndrome.

➢ Stress. Deworming, vaccination, travel, or separation from a conspecific can trigger an attack of laminitis.

➢ Hyperphagia and obesity are the most common high-risk conditions leading to laminitis.

Limiting grass consumption can be achieved by using a pasture basket or limiting the area available for grazing.

These recommendations do not constitute medical advice. For any questions regarding your horse health, always consult a veterinarian first. Every animal is different and has specific needs.
