It's critical to check insulin levels on your PPID/Cushing's horses and ponies. Insulin spikes due to stress, nutritional intake and corticosteroid injections can all lead to a detrimental laminitis episode in these horses and ponies.

With the Wellness Ready Truly stall side insulin test, make informed decisions for the horse or pony.

Wellness Ready is proud to partner with NC State University CVM and The Foundation For The Horse to for this fantastic research project. The Wellness Ready stall side insulin test was used for the study and was shown to have 95% accuracy for diagnosing Insulin Dysregulation compared to reference lab assay. This allows veterinarians to determine insulin levels in the field and make medical decisions in real time! Preventing laminitis is the key!

THANK YOU to all of our amazing referring veterinarians and clients of NC State College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital and to the The Foundation for The Horse and Wellness Ready for making this study possible! Were are forever grateful for your support and dedication to helping us advance equine health! 🤩🐴🤩 This study led by superstar Kim Hallowell shows that nearly 1 in every 4 sport horses has insulin dysregulation and highlights the fact that dynamic testing is critical for making a diagnosis! Lots more exciting studies in the works to follow this - stay tuned!!👩🏻‍🔬🕵🏻‍♀️

Accidents happen! When they do, be prepared, don’t just wait and see what happens next! Horses with Insulin Resistance (IR) are at a high risk of developing laminitis due to unregulated insulin spike. With Wellness Ready truly stall side whole blood insulin test, veterinarians can make critical medical decisions in real time!

Wellness Ready is committed to the wellbeing of horses and the prevention of laminitis. Thank you Equinnovate for sharing this information!

Everyone knows the textbook cresty-necked, obese pony EMS profile. However, lean Warmbloods, Arabians, and Quarter Horses with hidden insulin dysregulation (ID) present the truest diagnostic challenge.

By the time the classic laminitic stance or bounding digital pulses appear, significant structural lamellar damage is already underway. This damage rapidly becomes irreversible without immediate intervention. The weight of peer-reviewed evidence is clear: hyperinsulinemia is not merely a correlative risk factor; it acts as a direct driver of lamellar failure by disrupting receptor pathways within the lamellae.

The perennial hurdle? Convincing a horse owner to fund preventative endocrine testing when their horse looks fit.

Moving from subjective body condition scoring to objective, point-of-care data completely shifts the compliance conversation. The Wellness Ready Insulin Test delivers rapid, quantitative results right in the paddock. It gives you the immediate, hard numbers needed to implement targeted management adjustments and monitor dynamic insulin responses before clinical failure occurs.

👇How often are you identifying insulin dysregulation in horses that show none of the classic signs? Share your cases or clinical observations below.

With so many alternatives to the traditional corticosteroid injections, there is no reason to use them on horses with Insulin Resistance, but do you know if your patient is insulin resistant?
Do you have time to pull blood, spin it down and then test the insulin level? That can take an extra day or so and another farm call. With the Wellness Ready Insulin test, you can use whole blood and know in 15 minutes right there in the barn.
Check it before you inject it.
