I thought this pic was really cool ❄️❄️

Freeze branding just doesn’t smell right though.

Studly Roy is now two stone lighter and branded.

He really is a good boy. Didn’t try maul anyone when he got dropped.

Pretty interesting that a 5 year old stud with a weeks handling can safely be needled cut and branded yet I constantly get in situations that terrify me with 13 year old heart horses that have been lovingly cared for their whole lives. 😂🤔

Thanks Kris for a stress free job.

Recommendations for your mares in foal - worm 2-4 weeks before due to foal and vaccinate with a 2 in 1 booster (tetanus/strangles) about a month out from foaling

Getting ready for breeding season here at CQ Equine. Is your broodmare ready for the upcoming breeding season, if they are empty, now is the time to do those dentals and assess your vaccination protocols prior to breeding

Following on from the post last week regarding the quick acting tetanus shortage, I thought we would review how to correctly vaccinate your horse against tetanus. You have the option of the tetanus toxoid (T), which guards against tetanus alone, or a combined 2 in 1,which will protect you horse against tetanus and strangles
💉 Equivac T - 2 shots one month apart and then an annual booster
💉 Equivac 2 in 1 - 1 x 2 in 1, 2 weeks later - Equivac S (strangles), 2 weeks after that -2 in 1. Annual booster after that.
🐴 if you are unsure of your horses vaccination history, it is best to start the course again.

Tetanus antitoxin injections (quick acting tetanus) are currently unavailable. Now is a good time to reassess your horses tetanus vaccination status. If your horse is vaccinated correctly, you do not need to worry about giving an antitoxin when they injure themselves, it is just a yearly booster.

We hosted our first podiatry day with Danny Rowen a couple of weeks ago. This is Alfie. He presented with shallow soles & underrun heels. His soles were so shallow, his pedal bones were 'knocking on the door' of the sole, next phase being the pedal bone popping through the sole! Stay posted for some xray pics later ✨️
