Anyone know their way around a Polaris?!
I attached a sprayer to the battery, the clip moved and it earthed to the quad and f*% it.
Have recharged the battery, no good. No electrics working at all.
Any suggestions for where I might be able to take it to hospital greatly appreciated- close to Chambers Flat.
Thanks everyone 💗

As some of you know, Katy is one of my favourite people.
She’s as good a people as people get.
I could go on and on about how awesome she is, but there’s a word limit on posts….
I wanna help get her the float she deserves 💗
She would never ask herself, so we are doing it for her 🌻

Hello, my wonderful friends and followers!

My biggest wish was to support Katy and her incredible team at 4Legs&Wheels by providing them with a custom-built horse float—at cost price. This special float is designed with all the necessary comforts to ensure people in wheelchairs can participate fully.

Now, we need your support! Katy and her amazing team, are eagerly looking forward to taking the mini horses out on a regular basis in their new EuroFloat. Please help us spread the word and support this beautiful cause in any way you can.

Thank you all so much for your kindness and generosity!

This is where I spend a few hours a week.
In order to be fit enough to do my job, I started training about 6 months ago!
I need to be fitter and stronger than is required, to handle and treat my horsie clients, so I can still do the job I love in 10 years time and so I don’t fall in a heap on these super hot summer days! 🥵☀️

trainwithsbc Turns out- I don’t hate the gym anymore!!! 💪
If anyone is thinking about getting into training- I can’t recommend these guys enough. Amazing trainers chad.dowling_ jumpfit_training fitnessbytiahn!!! Knowledgeable, professional and fun!

I see horses with EOTRH daily.
I will always recommend referral for X-rays to determine the extent of the disease, which allows us to come up with a treatment plan.
I’m lucky enough to be able to pick it up at the very early stage, but unfortunately do still see some like these photos 😔

EOTRH stands for Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis. 🦷

This is a painful and progressive condition that predominantly affects horses aged 15 years and older. It mainly affects the incisors and occasionally the canine teeth, but there has been some very rare cases of affected molar teeth.

The condition involves two primary processes:

Resorption: this is where the calcified dental tissue starts to break down by the horse’s own odontoclast cells reabsorbing the dental structures. This process is believed to be immune-mediated.

Hypercementosis: this is the development of excess cementum which occurs as the dental structures are reabsorbed. The body compensates by over producing cementum in an attempt to stabilise the tooth. This results in bulbous or club-like shapes forming at the apex of the tooth.

The presentation of EOTRH can vary greatly between horses. Some horses exhibit more dominant with hypercementosis, others are more dominant with resorption.
The disease may progress rapidly in some cases but slowly in others.

Due to its progressive nature, early clinical signs may be subtle or go unnoticed until the disease reaches an advanced stage.

Common symptoms include:
•Tartar buildup due to reluctance to use the incisors
•Bulbous dental structures beneath the gumline (caused by hypercementosis)
•Diastemata (gaps between teeth), leading to food entrapment, gingival recession, and periodontal disease
•Red, inflamed gums with draining tracts due to infection
•Loose, fractured, or missing teeth
•Halitosis

Affected horses often struggle to bite into carrots or pull hay from a haynet. Some may develop headshaking, and severe cases can lead to weight loss.

Diagnosis of EOTRH is confirmed through X-rays, which will reveal the extent of resorption and hypercementosis. Currently, the only effective treatment is the extraction of affected teeth by a vet. Each case requires an individualised approach depending on the severity of the disease. Horses adapt very well following extraction, and their improvement highlights the level of pain they were experiencing before treatment.

The cause of EOTRH remains unknown, current studies are exploring periodontal ligament strains, bacterial causes, occlusal pressures, and genetics, however it’s likely to be multi factorial. As our understanding of the disease grows with ongoing research we hope to develop more effective management strategies.

Regular incisor checks are super important to identify signs of EOTRH early. If you suspect EOTRH, consult your EDT or Vet, early intervention can help minimise discomfort for your horse!
