Wall eye, white pony allergies & sunburn?

Question

Would it be kinder just to stable a pony most of the time, if its life is one long round of allergies & sunburn, borderline laminitus and other horses picking on it?

Answer 1

Poor guy!!  Can he have his own turnout area where he can 'socialize' over or through the fence with others...but they can't abuse him?

I know they have light sheets to help with sunburn, and fly masks that actually cover the ears and muzzle too for sunburn.  

If he can have his own area...get a grazing muzzle if needed.  If it's a dry area, which it soon will be if he's on it all the time, then laminitus won't be much of a problem.

Don't know what kind of allergies you are referring to.  Talk with your vet if there is something that can be done.

Answer 2

I would try and section off an area of grazing, use a snuggly hood and rug to combat sweet itch/ sunburn ( plus factor 50+) If you manage the grass well the pony will be fine regarding laminitis.

Failing that turn him out at night , alone?
