Wanted grazing to rent for a couple of our older horses 🐎
Ideally somewhere near Hamsterley & Butterknowle.
Will consider short or long term grazing- they are great lawnmowers for anyone needing their grass attacking before putting their own horses on!

A healthy gut promotes healthy hooves!
Changes in the equine hindgut have been shown to cause reduced blood flow in horses feet, with potential implications contributing to laminitis episodes.

Great day at Breckenbrough last weekend - nice to be top of a horse and not underneath one for once!!

There have been a number of Farriers throughout the country report a large amount of Laminitis cases developing recently. Laminitis is a very painful condition for horses resulting in lameness as a result of inflammation of the dermal laminae. If you own a horse or pony here are the main symptoms to look out for:

- Noticeable lameness with the horse/pony shifting weight from one hoof to another and occasionally rocking backwards.

- Increased digital pulse found by the fetlock.

- Heat found around the hoof wall.

- A Quiet or depressed behaviour

- Reluctance to move backwards or turn sharply.

- Your vet or farrier may notice a painful reaction when using hoof testers on the sole of the hoof.

If you suspect the above symptoms, it is recommended to provide the following first aid:
* Bring your horse/pony in for box rest.
* Immediately contact your Vet and Farrier to inform them of the symptoms.
* Ensure a deep shavings bed covering the whole stable. This will act as hoof support until a vet has attended.
* Aim to keep your horse free from stress whilst on box rest - leave another horse in a nearby stable for company.
