Morning everyone!

Thank you so much to everybody who sent me well wishes following my untimely dismount from a certain pair of grey ears👇🏻

Thankfully I’m now fully recovered and have just had a wonderful weekend away with the horses for my birthday at Stockham Farm Exmoor☁️🌱

Please note that worm egg counts are now due🪱 If you haven’t already, collect a small sample and either drop it to us in Herriard Park or put it somewhere safe at your yard and we’ll collect it when passing.

See you soon, Grace 😃

Morning everyone, unfortunately I had a nasty fall over the weekend and I’m now dealing with concussion.

We are open as normal but I am struggling to read and reply to messages. Any non-urgent queries will be sorted tomorrow, if you have any immediate concerns, please give me a call on 07534531069 to chat it through😊

One of my favourite patients having her hocks medicated with Arthramid this week.
Arthramid is a relatively new treatment that helps restore joint function and movement. It is a hydrogel and does not contain steroid, therefore making it suitable for laminitis-prone patients.

Huge congratulations to our lovely client Emily Ivins with Ketcher B (Max) on their first international win at Addington CDI in the Inter I freestyle🤩🥇

All of this wet weather has resulted in a huge increase in the number of hoof abscesses we’re seeing🤕
This patient is feeling much better after treatment - an impressive amount of pus to come out of such a little hoof!

January is looking a lot like this!
We are so thrilled with how seriously our clients take their horses’ teeth🦷🪥

We’ve had a fair few extractions, fractures and cavities so far this year already, highlighting the need for regular check ups. It’s surprising how often dental pain goes unchecked - our horses will continue to eat regardless!

If you’d like to book your horse, pony or donkey in for routine dentistry, please contact us on 07534531069 or email us at [email protected]

Don’t forget that annual routine dentals are covered in our Equine Health Scheme for just £14.99 per month 😁

⭐️New Vaccination Intervals for 2024⭐️

If your horse is starting their vaccinations this year, or re-starting their course, new intervals apply!

These new intervals are in line with the recommendations put out by the manufacturers themselves.

For all new vaccination courses started after 1st January 2024, the new intervals are listed below:

First Vaccination - day 0.
Second Vaccination - day 21-60.
Third Vaccination - 120-180 days after the second.

In simpler terms, there should be an approximate 4 week interval between the first and second vaccination, and an approximate 5 month interval between the second and third.

Please note that this change only affects horses who have had their first vaccination after 1st Jan 2024.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!🐴
It was lovely to have a Christmas break and enjoy my own horses, Caoimhe, Chip and Vinnie.
We are now back to normal working hours and hoping the weather is kinder to us in the coming months🤞🏻

A very peaceful evening view🌅 Today we lost two horses who had both been with their families for over 20 years. A very sad day but always a privilege to be with these much loved horses in their final moments. There will be two more stars in the sky tonight✨✨
