From our Friends at Clarity Equine Nutrition

“There is a natural rise in the hormone ACTH from late summer through end November in all horses. ACTH stimulates release of cortisol. Cortisol is commonly known as the stress hormone. The cortisol released acts to decrease sensitivity to insulin which can cause an increase in circulating insulin in your horse’s blood, and this is closely linked to laminitis risk.”
