At Go Barefoot Horse, we’ve learned that healthy hooves begin with a healthy metabolism—and Laminaze by NAF has become one of our most trusted tools when it comes to supporting horses who are prone to low-grade laminitis and seasonal metabolic challenges.
Laminaze Pellets offer more than just surface-level support. They target the root causes behind hoof sensitivity by promoting gut health, reducing toxin activity, and supporting metabolic resilience from within.
How We Use Laminaze in Our Trimming Practice
We use Laminaze in our trimming practice when we observe signs of hoof sensitivity, inflammation in the laminae, or early signs of metabolic stress. It’s especially helpful during seasonal transitions, when the sugar content in grass tends to spike or when dietary adjustments to reduce sugars and starches are not feasible—such as in regions where quality hay or low-sugar feed options are limited. These situations can pose a real challenge to the metabolic stability of sensitive horses.
Thanks to its pellet form, Laminaze is easy to mix with feed and is well accepted by most horses. The results often speak for themselves—improvements in both comfort and overall condition within a matter of days.
What Makes Laminaze Effective
Laminaze supports laminae health by addressing metabolism and digestion together—an approach we truly appreciate. Its Five Star formula includes:
- ✅ Key nutrients to maintain strong, resilient laminae
- 🌿 Naturally sourced antioxidants to help neutralize free radicals and reduce toxin activity
- 🧬 NAF’s BioG complex – a unique triple-action blend of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics to restore a healthy gut microbiome
- 🌱 Herbal digestive compounds plus bentonite clay for toxin binding and improved digestive resilience
Together, these ingredients help regulate metabolism, protect gut health, and support hoof integrity.
When to Use Laminaze
We recommend Laminaze for horses that:
- Show early or low-grade signs of laminitis
- Are sensitive to pasture changes, high-sugar grasses, or starchy feeds—especially when these cannot be avoided due to local feed availability
- Struggle with metabolic imbalances, such as insulin resistance or obesity
- Need gut and liver support following a period of stress, illness, or sudden dietary change
What We’ve Noticed
- From our experience in the field, Laminaze tends to act quickly. Within a couple of weeks of adding it to the horse’s feed, we commonly observe:
- Reduced hoof sensitivity and a noticeable decrease in signs of low-grade laminitis
- Greater comfort when walking on hard surfaces
- Improvements in overall condition and even the horse’s mood and behavior
It’s now part of our standard toolkit when managing laminitis-prone horses.
