Another winter urine sample collected for the setaria study!

Thank you Jason and Petey!!

Is your horse on a setaria dominant pasture?! Please get in contact to organise a sample collection to help contribute to our knowledge of setaria on the northern rivers 🌟🌟🌟

HAPPY HORSES BIRTHDAY 🥳🐎

Beautiful Miss Teena has handed in her winter urine sample for the setaria study 😻🫶🌱

If your horse is on setaria please get in contact! We need your help - and your horses wee!!

We need urine samples from horses on setaria every season for 12 months.

Winter samples close the end of this august/september.

I recommend getting a clean jar, sterilising with boiling water, then taping it to a long stick so you can reach to get a sample of urine when they urinate. We want to get urine as she is urinating not when it has touched the ground.

Can take some time!

I would really really appreciate a sample from your horses by the end of august, every piece of information helps 🌟🙏

This week I was fortunate enough to present two research presentations at Bain Fallon down in the Hunter Valley 🐎

Bain Fallon is the largest equine veterinary conference in the southern hemisphere, the perfect platform to share my findings with other equine veterinarians to help horses in the future.

From these clinical cases further investigations can now take place! I will be conducting more research in these areas - watch this space I will be needing help from my great clients in the northern rivers to collect more data!

More information will be coming soon on how you and your horse can be apart of an exciting new study that will help the Northern River’s horse population 🌟🐎

En route to Bain Fallon, the largest Equine Veterinary Conference in the Southern Hemisphere 👩‍⚕️🐎

Very excited to be asked to present my latest research at such an event! 🌟

Thank you to the lovely clients and their horses that allowed this research to be discovered and investigated.

Sometimes this was due to unfortunate circumstances, which was very sad. But this new knowledge will help to protect the health and wellbeing of other horses 🩵

Beautiful boys George and Toby 😻

George was happy to provide moral support while Toby had his annual vaccines 🌟

We love a good castrate! 🍒 ✂️

Beautiful, mature castrate, Bertie was a lovely patient to work with! May he enjoy his new career as a riding horse 🌟

Right now is a fantastic time to be sowing seeds for delicious winter grasses!

My pick is a mix of Rye Grass and White Clover 🍀

These grasses and legumes love wet soil and cold temperatures 🌟

Super nutritious to help keep condition on over winter and allow horses to have a break from oxalate rich tropical grasses!

Had a great morning at Nimbin Central School Careers Fair 🏫 📚

Exciting to watch the next generation grow 💚

25/05/2024

Wolf Tooth Extractions for beautiful boy Tommy 💚

Tommy had two very large wolf teeth that were extracted with out him even knowing! Thanks to a calming, pain relief sedation and local blocks that numbed his gums 💚

Wolf teeth commonly get hit by the bit when being ridden which causes pain! This results in an uncomfortable horse and possibly a dangerous ride!

So proud of this lovely young man!

22/05/2024

Another great Nimbin Women in Business event 🌟
There’s some amazing people in our community!

Is your horse over 16 years of age?

- RIGHT NOW - is the time to perform a screening test for Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID).

PPID is an endrocrine tumor of the pituitary gland within the brain! This commonly occurs in horses over 16 years of age and it’s development and clinical signs can be treated medically!

Clinical signs that we commonly see is a reduction in energy levels, loss of top line musculature, chronic intermittent lameness and persistent skin infections - just to name a few!

Dr Sophia Hinrichsen is a World Leading Researcher in PPID and has presented her research around the globe 🌏

PPID testing can most reliably be performed in Autumn.
If your horse is over 16 years old it is important to book NOW to have their annual screening blood test!

🐣 HAPPY EASTER / EQUINOX 🐣

I hope you’re all blessed with a lovely long weekend - hopefully spent riding 😉

Enjoying a white Easter this year 🐰❄️ 🇺🇸

An important thing to note - horses are a cold weather animal! 4C-20C is their optimum temperature!

We really don’t need to rug horses in the northern rivers during winter…

Unless of course
❄️ Your property gets below 4C
🏆 If you’re showing your horse or they’re in high level competition
👵 your horse has compromised health (eg cushings/PPID, old age, heightened metabolism, dental problems etc)
🦟 if your property has mosquitos, midges or other biting insects

Just to name a few reasons 🙈

👁 Corneal Ulcer / Eye Scratch 👁

Did you know that most eye scratches are see-through or only mildly opaque?! To see the extent of the eye scratch a special green stain is used to highlight the borders of the eye scratch!

If your horse has a swollen, red and/or closed eye contact your vet immediately!

During the procedure local anaesthetic is used so they do no feel a thing 🌟

Did you know horses under 4 years old should have a veterinary dental exam and alignment every 6 months and horses over 4 years old every year!

🌟 WEIGHTLOSS 🌟 Are you finding it hard to keep condition on your horse? Booking a weight-loss investigation is a great way to work out what is going on!

🌼 Spring 🌼 Sometimes our bovine friends need help too! Delivered this beautiful calf yesterday! Mum was doing a great job but needed a hand to get the calves shoulders past her pelvic canal!

🙅‍♀️ PARALYSIS TICKS - IXODES HOLOCYCLUS 🙅‍♀️This year these pesky little guys have come out early! 😠Most prevalent during spring and summer 🌺 Just like dogs and cats, young foals are susceptible to tick paralysis. In adult horses these ticks can cause severe swelling and irritation, especially if they lodge themselves around the prepuce, inguinal area and between the upper hind limbs. As seen in this reel, this can cause significant swelling of the sheath that needs to be addressed asap 🙀 🍆 Permethrin based products help to repel ticks. Permethrin also works against mozzies and midgies, the culprits behind QLD itch / Sweet Itch.

Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️ Now that the daylight is slowly getting longer we can expect to see our mares ovaries cycling again 🙈 Thinking of breeding this year?
