LamiPal makes laminitis management simpler for horse owners who want clear, practical guidance without complicated charts or confusing tools. Built around simplicity, LamiPal provides easy-to-read daily risk readings, safer AM and PM turnout windows, and a 3-day forecast, helping you understand changing conditions at a glance. Unlike tools based primarily on weather data, LamiPal considers four key areas: your horse’s health and individual risk factors, local weather, current paddock conditions, and day-to-day paddock management. Its risk engine is informed by relevant laminitis and pasture-risk research, combining these variables to provide guidance tailored to the horse and paddock you are managing. Create profiles for one horse or several, including details such as previous laminitis, EMS, PPID/Cushing’s, obesity, and sensitivity level. You can also create profiles for each paddock and record factors including grass coverage, fertilisation, and whether the paddock has been rested. Daily paddock-management choices can also be included, such as whether your horse is wearing a grazing muzzle, grazing on a strip, or has been given hay before or during turnout. These details are built directly into the risk tracker, helping LamiPal provide guidance that is more relevant to your horse’s circumstances. With GPS-based location readings, LamiPal focuses on conditions around your own yard instead of relying solely on generic forecasts. Key Features: Simple daily laminitis risk reading AM and PM turnout-window guidance 3-day risk forecast Horse-specific health and risk profiles Paddock-specific condition profiles Daily paddock-management variables Multiple horse and paddock profiles GPS-based yard location readings Risk engine informed by relevant research Clear explanations without feature-heavy complexity LamiPal is designed to support calmer, clearer turnout decisions by bringing horse health, weather, paddock conditions, and paddock management together in one place. LamiPal does not replace professional veterinary advice. Always contact your vet or farrier if you are concerned about laminitis or your horse’s health.
