The black Greenguard halter is a simple solution to reduce a horse's grass ingestion without limiting its grazing time and contact with peers. It was developed in collaboration with veterinarians to help prevent laminitis. This Greenguard halter has been specially designed for use with the Greenguard basket (basket sold separately).

Laminitis can be prevented by avoiding high-risk situations. The following is a list of "causes" or circumstances that precede the onset of laminitis:

Obesity
Ingestion of foods high in carbohydrates or rapidly fermentable fiber, i.e. cereals, coarse mixes, fast growing
Any disease that involves toxemia. This can be a bacterial infection or as a result of ingesting toxic plants or chemicals.
Cushing's disease
Equine Metabolic Syndrome
Stress. Deworming, vaccination, travel or separation from a “conspecific” can trigger a laminitis attack.
Overeating/obesity are the most common high-risk situations that lead to laminitis.
