#1 Fructan/ESC Forecast and Insect Traffic Light (Beta)

With our usual precise forecast for the fructan/ESC content of your pasture, the free Pasture Weather app helps you reduce the risk of laminitis, specifically insulin-related laminitis.

NEW!

With our latest free feature, the Insect Traffic Light (Beta), we give you a daily assessment of which insects you can expect in the stable, pasture, or on a ride. You'll see individual forecasts for the eight most common and annoying insects.

For horses with sweet itch, the midge forecast is particularly important, as they are the main trigger.

The simple traffic light system gives you an immediate overview of the eight pests.

• Mosquito

• Black fly

• Horsefly

• Midge (main trigger: sweet itch)

• Stable flies

• Ticks

• Deer ked

• Botfly

This way, you can minimize the use of fly masks, fly sheets, and sprays, while also knowing exactly when to use them to protect your horse's health (sweet itch, eye infections, insect bites, etc.).

Know when grazing is beneficial.

Using weather data from your location, the free PASTURE WEATHER app calculates the current fructan ESC risk and the probability of insects. This way, you always know when grazing is as safe as possible – when your horse should only eat hay and when your horse needs a fly mask or sweet itch rug.

What the app can do:

• Real-time fructan ESC warning and insect traffic light (beta) – location-based risk calculation based on current weather data

• 7-day forecast – plan grazing times in advance with hourly breakdowns

• Traffic light system – instantly see whether the risk is low, elevated, or critical

• Weather alerts – you'll be notified when relevant weather events occur at your location

• Statistics & trends – keep track of the progress
