4. We have a herd of Peruvian Pasos (11) which tend to get fat, and some seem laminitic prone if we don't really watch their diet. In general, we prefer that they roam with a few quarter horses on 30 acres, but we take them off the grass in the spring with new grass and elevated NSC (non-structural carbohydrates). We understand there is a period in fall when this is also a problem. We would like to know the dates, or is it more a weather/temperature period we need to watch for to avoid problems with high sugars? Published: October 30, 2008
