BASKET + HALTER + PROTECTIVE AND/OR RESTRICTIVE PLATE

With promo code GREEN25

Greenguard is a simple solution to reduce a horse's grass intake without limiting its grazing time and contact with other horses. It was developed in collaboration with the veterinary profession.

It allows for unrestricted drinking. PLEASE NOTE: the basket does not fit into paddle waterers. It is durable, non-toxic, and UV-resistant for a long lifespan. Made of food-grade, foldable material. Comfortable for your horse to wear: no sweating or chafing. It attaches very easily to a properly equipped Greenguard halter with adjustable straps that are breakable for increased safety. Greenguard halter sold separately.

* Reduces grass intake

To choose the right basket size:

- Bit size between 125 and 150 mm: HORSE SIZE

- Bit size between 110 and 120 mm: DOUBLE PONY/SMALL HORSE SIZE

- Bit size between 90 and 105 mm: SHETLAND SIZE

Basket base dimensions

- Shetland size: 11 x 12 cm

- Double Pony/Small Horse size: 12.5 x 13.5 cm

- Horse size: 14.5 x 14.5 cm

Basket top dimensions

- Shetland size: 12.5 x 15 cm / basket height 8.5 cm

- Double Pony/Small Horse size: 19.5 x 21 cm / basket height 12.5 cm

REMINDER:

A blow with the jaw, neck, or foot exerts a pressure of over 500 kg.

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:

In case of a laminitis attack, in addition to the basket, you can use the following two products:

- PEDIMIX or REINE DES PRES a natural aspirin that acts as a rapid pain reliever and anti-inflammatory, improves blood circulation, and helps protect the hoof capsule.

- 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.

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

Use for 1 to 2 months.

PRECAUTIONS IN CASE OF OBESITY:

In case of obesity, in addition to the basket, you can use the following products:

- GLUCOMIX ou INSU-LITE : improves the body's absorption of sugar, lowers cholesterol, sugar, and lipid levels. Digestion: stimulates the production of digestive juices, has a prebiotic, soothing effect.

- METABO’LIGHT :  100% natural dietary supplement for overweight horses or ponies that are unable to lose weight despite a strict diet. It is also recommended to support horses and donkeys with insulin resistance, chronic laminitis, and/or equine metabolic syndrome.

- S-METABOL : 100% natural dietary supplement that helps improve insulin resistance and supports pancreatic activity. It is also recommended to help horses with equine metabolic syndrome.

- PHYTO’SUC : Dietary supplement that acts as a hypoglycemic agent by reducing the concentration of glucose in the horse's blood. Very effective for horses whose body no longer regulates or poorly regulates insulin levels (insulin resistance). Phyto'suc works by delaying the insulin peak.

- FOURBURE Détox ou HEPA'CLEAN ou NATURAL DRAIN ou Dé-Tox GOLD : Draining your overweight horse is a necessary step, a prerequisite, to help improve its liver and kidney health.

In case of Cushing's disease, in addition to the basket, you can use the following products:

- CUSHMIX ou  KUSH'LESS FORTE ou CUSH GOLD X ou PHYTO'CUSH : which have endocrine-regulating properties.

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.
