Wishing all our clients and associates safety and security through the onset of cyclone Alfred 🌀.

Some government based information for creating a safety plan for your horses & livestock.
Being over prepared is better than not having a plan in place.
Hopefully no one needs to activate emergency mode.

Stay safe everyone x

Is Your Horse Cyclone Ready?

With the current predicted weather conditions over the next week or so now is a good time to consider if your horse (and their paddock) is cyclone ready to minimise the risk of injury to both you and your horse.

Is your paddock clear of debris? Clean up any dead branches or other items in the paddock that may be blown around by high winds or washed along with heavy rain. Are the fences sturdy and not going to get blown over?

Ensure your horse has ready access to plenty of fresh water, dry hay if required and sturdy shelter if possible. Be aware that you may not be able to reach them for a period of time so the water and feed should be able to last a few days depending on the circumstances. Be cautious leaving rugs and halters on if you are not going to be able to check them, these things can get tangled and snag on fences, branches, etc. and cause significant injury.

We recommend you have a plan if you do need to evacuate or move your horse urgently. Where will you take them? Is their paddock easy to access with a float?
Have an emergency kit on hand containing things like; torch/head light, halter and lead rope, wire cutters, basic bandage supplies. Ensure your float is in good working order and your car has a full tank of fuel.

Have some photos of your horse clearly showing their markings and details of their microchip number on hand in case they do escape from their paddock.

Conditions to watch for in your horse;
- colic (may be secondary to stress, mouldy hay, contaminated water amongst other causes)
- wounds
- rain scald
- greasy heel
- hoof issues such as abscesses

Please check that your horse is up to date with their tetanus vaccination, injuries that occur in times like this are often highly contaminated and at high risk for infection.

We are here to support you and your horse and are available for emergencies should the need arise.

Stay safe!

- Poor appetite or altered eating behaviour​​​​​​​​

- Poor coat condition​​​​​​​​

Is the modern sport horse more susceptible to injury?

Recently I was asked why do I think we see so much injury in sports horses. Kissing spine, tendon and suspensory injury for example.

The horses environment, and its effect on physiology, which encompasses everything from stabling conditions to the surfaces the horse trains on, to hoof balance, posture etc etc are important throughout the horse’s lifetime as they play a part in the accumulation of loads.

These extrinsic factors interact with intrinsic factors, the horses conformation, to affect performance ability and susceptibility to injuries. The amount, intensity and type of training and the surfaces they are done on, have a major effect on loading of the locomotor apparatus and, therefore, on both performance and risk of orthopaedic injury.

These things have hugely changed over the last 100 years!

So what factors are involved with the amount of injury we see in the modern sports horse? What can we manage and mitigate?

Join myself and Dr Martina Neidhart for a delve into the world of the modern sports horse and their risk of injury.
