Here at PJ McMahon our vets have years of dental experience and specialised equipment to perform anything from routine dental care/checks to tooth removal - which only a qualified vet is allowed to do. It can save you money by combining your vaccination and dental check together as some people are paying for both vet to sedate and dentist to rasp teeth. If you want more information please call the office to find out more.

Equine Influenza Vaccination Regulations for competing in 2024

We know it can be confusing trying to ensure your horse's vaccinations fall in line with the competing guidelines, especially as these differ between the various organisations. So we have compiled the most up to date information we could find.

BRC, PC, BD, BE, BS, Endurance GB and FEI have updated their rules for 2024. BHA appear to be continuing with their 2023 rules.

Primary courses and boosters given from 1st January 2024 onwards must adhere to any new rules. Vaccines given prior to this date are still compliant as long as they were in line with the previous rules at the time of vaccination. If the first vaccine was given in 2023, but the second vaccine will be given on or after 1st January 2024, either the previous rules or the updated rules can be followed for timing of the second vaccine, but we would advise checking with the appropriate organisation.

Please note, this information is considered accurate as of 18th January 2024. We are providing this as a guide, but we urge every competitor to check the relevant rules themselves and we cannot be held responsible for any errors made here, or for any changes which may be made after this post is published. It is the responsibility of the owner of the horse/rider to ensure their horse's vaccination timings fall in line with the rules. It is not the responsibility of the vet and we are not liable for any vaccination timing issues picked up at competitions. We do not send reminders, it is the responsibility of the owner to make sure boosters are done in time.

Overall, if the following timings are adhered to, the vaccinations should comply with all current competing organisation rules:

➡Second vaccine given 21-60 days after the first vaccine.
➡Third vaccine (first booster) given 120-180 days after the second vaccine.
➡Subsequent boosters given within 12 months of the previous booster for all bodies except BHA where vaccines must be given every 6 months.
➡For BE and FEI, a vaccine must be given within 6 months and 21 days before arrival at a competition.
➡The horse can first compete 7 days after the second vaccine. - The horse cannot compete within 7 days after any vaccine.
➡The different equestrian bodies have different guidelines for delayed boosters in Autumn 2022 due to a vaccine shortage, please check with your competing organisation if your horse was affected by this.

If you have any problems or concerns please contact us in the office on 01403 871331.

With the freezing weather brings the increased chance of colic. Please think about doing these things to help reduce the risk -

* Make sure your horse has access to water - horses drink less when it's cold so think of different ways to encourage them to drink -
* Mollassed water is great for horses that aren't at risk of laminitis.
* Giving luke warm water - topping up a few times throughout the day.
* Wetting their feeds a bit more then normal especially if they have feeds that require soaking.
* Giving warm feeds like a good old fashion bran mash.
* Have a thermometer handy so you can check their temperature.
* Adding extra layers to keep them warm - bandaging their legs can help keep warm but remember to change them regularly and not put on too tight.
* If its safe take your horse for walks to keep them moving but avoid hard rutted ground if possible and icey ground.
* Grass is best for gut mobility but try to avoid the really frosty grass especially with laminitic prone horses.

The weather has been very up and down we have highs of double figures one week then it suddenly drops to minus figures so even horses that are normally fine in this weather without a rug may feel it more.
