🐴❤️ vs. 🧍♂️❤️: The heart of the matter!
We couldn’t resist sharing this incredible video from @hriracing at the Irish Racehorse Experience @irishnationalstudandgardens. It’s truly spectacular to see the difference in size and power between a horse’s heart and our own.
No wonder these amazing animals are such incredible athletes!

The Pony Club Association NT - PCANT B Certificate crew enjoyed a trip to the hospital last week with @swequestrian and gained an insight into general horse health and preseason competition checks. They were also treated to a tour of the hospital by our ace guides Drs Katie and Amanda.

OVARY GOOD DR PETE! 👏
It was a tight squeeze but Dr Pete successfully removed this big ovary in a standing surgery today!
This mare was diagnosed with a granulosa theca cell tumour - the most common type of tumour that affects the ovaries in horses. These tumours can be performance limiting and cause behavioural issues due to changes in hormone levels. They can also affect the reproductive capability of a mare intended for breeding due to changes in reproductive hormones. In some cases, they can even cause abdominal pain due to their size.
Treatment with surgical removal is curative. Following treatment, the unaffected ovary will serve as a fully functional reproductive organ and the mare will eventually return to normal reproductive function - capable of becoming pregnant and carrying a pregnancy to full term. Any previous behavioural issues due to changes in hormone levels will also resolve. All in all she will be a much happier mare having had this abnormal ovary removed!

🩺 How to check your horse’s digital pulses 🩺
Checking your horse’s digital pulses is an important part of assessing for inflammatory conditions of the foot, such as a foot abscess or laminitis. However unless you know where to feel, digital pulses can sometimes be tricky to find!
Check out this short step-by-step video on how to check digital pulses.
1. Run your hand down the back of your horse’s leg, with your index finger and thumb resting on either side of the leg, down to just below the fetlock.
2. Gently roll your thumb and index finger back and forth to feel the blood vessels flick beneath them. It should feel like a cord running down the back of either side of the leg - this is the neurovascular bundle containing the vein, artery and nerve.
3. Apply gentle pressure over the neurovascular bundle for a few seconds and you should feel the digital artery pulsing.
If there is an increased or throbbing pulse then this may indicate inflammation. If the pulse is very feint or difficult to find then it is probably normal. All horses will vary slightly, so it is best to get to know what a normal digital pulse for your horse is by regularly feeling their legs.
