Spring laminitis alert!

As the weather warms up, be extra vigilant for signs of laminitis in your horses. The lush, sugary grass can increase the risk of this painful condition, especially in ponies and horses prone to metabolic issues.

Watch for:
Lameness, particularly in the front feet
Heat in the hooves
A digital pulse or sensitivity to touch

If you spot any of these signs, contact your vet immediately on 01258 452626 for prompt care. Preventive measures like limiting grazing and managing weight can help reduce the risk.

Keep your horse safe this spring!🌱💚

This Valentine’s Day, Friday 14th February, let's spread the love to our horses, ponies and donkeys.

They may not give you chocolates or roses, but they show affection in their own special way - through a gentle nuzzle, a soft whinny when they see you, or simply enjoying your company. Horses, ponies, and donkeys are known to form strong bonds with their owners and in return, they ask for the simplest of things: attention, care and respect.🐎❤️

Body Condition Scoring in Winter

Is your horse losing weight under that winter coat? tip: Regularly body condition score your horse during winter months to ensure they’re maintaining a healthy weight. Here’s how to do it!

Horses typically thrive at a BCS of 5-6. However, competition horses or certain breeds may require a slightly lower or higher score depending on their workload and body type.
