Laminitis Recovery: Help Your Horse Move Freely Again
Movement Education Course
Laminitis recovery doesn’t end when the acute crisis passes. Diet, trim, and time address the structural damage—but the movement patterns your horse developed during pain don’t resolve on their own. This course teaches you exactly what to do next.
Laminitis Recovery:
Help Your Horse Move Freely Again
A systematic movement education program that teaches horse owners how to restore flowing, functional movement after laminitis—addressing the critical gap conventional protocols miss.

If you’ve watched my YouTube videos on laminitis recovery, you’ve asked for this course. It’s here.
Everything I’ve learned in 40 years working with laminitic horses — distilled into a systematic, owner-implemented protocol.
The same protocols that recovered ZJ (you’ve seen her in the videos). The same Movement Language approach that’s transformed thousands of horses across every discipline. Now applied specifically to the crisis you’re facing.
Your horse survived. Now help them truly recover.
With care for your horse,
Chris Adderson
Creator of Movement Language & Patterns of Reciprocity™
P.S. The recurrence rate for endocrinopathic laminitis is 34%. Horses that have had laminitis are at significantly higher risk of having it again.
Movement quality is one of the most important factors in reducing that risk. A horse who moves well — heel-first, with an engaged spine and functional balance — is a horse whose body is working correctly. A horse who moves in chronic compensation is a horse whose physiology remains stressed.
This isn’t just about recovering from the last episode. It’s about protecting your horse from the next one.
