Hawk and I had a great time and lots of fun recently with a group session with Hampshire Horse Agility HHA.

I have to say the atmosphere was calm and really welcoming. Hawk was surprised to see others in the school with him, along with some surprising obstacles.

I was a bit at sixes and sevens and even forgot to take his tail bandage off 😂

He was such a good boy and totally surprised me by having a go at everything. We will definitely be doing more of this together, even if Spirit thinks otherwise.

Please be mindful and share with your yard colleagues.

💥Equine Herpes Virus confirmed in Chessington💥

Unfortunately we have a confirmed case of neurological herpes in the Chessington area. Local practices have been notified and we are working together to contain the outbreak.

The yard has been closed and isolated and currently only one horse is affected. We are aware this news will cause concern for many but we would like to advise the following and urge people not to panic.

We would recommend the following precautions:

Horses should be monitored closely for clinical signs of respiratory disease, incontinence or neurological problems. If you have any concerns re**al temperatures should be taken twice daily and should the temperature exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius please contact us.

EHV-1 is spread by direct horse-horse contact or through contact with contaminated people/objects. It is also spread by short aerosol distance whilst horses are shedding the virus. Therefore good biosecurity on yards is essential to prevent spread.

Horses which are regularly travelling, competing or on yards local to the Chessington area should consider vaccinating for EHV. Vaccination does not provide protection against neurological herpes but is likely to reduce the shedding of EHV in the environment and therefore likelihood of spread between horses. It is not appropriate to vaccinate the current affected yard at this time.

If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact us. If you would like to discuss EHV with one of our vets please email the office with your contact details. If you would like to book a vaccine or are concerned your horse may be exhibiting clinical signs please ring the office on 01483 811088.

"Admin time: when the coffee goes cold, the dogs go to sleep, and I go slightly insane!

Well Treasure is well on the mend and out in a paddock close to the house so we can monitor her regularly. Her face is returning to its kissable normal.

Unfortunately last week was a rubbish week and to add to it all I hurt my lower back. Not doing any unexpected dismount or daredevil activity. Simply picking up a half eaten dog biscuit off the kitchen floor.

However, this does mean I have had to cancel last weeks appointment and a fantastic course I was due to attend this week as well as some appointments next week.

Please bare with me and I will be back up and running - OK not running! As soon as I am able.

Poor old Treasure. She is feeling a bit under the weather today with a foot abscess that is draining and a swollen face.

She has had her bloods taken and Jack from Equivet has put her on some meds.

Let’s hope she is better after a sunny weekend.

Today reconfirmed to me that sadly “Life is too precious to put your dreams on hold”

Whatever sets your soul on fire—pursue it boldly.

Get that new saddle, find the horse you’ve always dreamed of, and step fully into the life that makes your heart race.

Don’t wait—your time is now.

Goodbye lovely lady- thank your for your friendship, kindness and laughter. I will miss you so much.

Another autumn job done on the farm over the last couple of days.

The sheep who are aging now, the youngest are 9 and the oldest ladies are 13, came in for feet trimming and autumn worming. They enjoyed a couple of days in from the rain with butler service.

Then today we cleared and burnt the bedding and power washed the box out. We do this because we run along organic principles and used an Ivemectin based wormer. Which is not good for the microbes and wildlife in the paddocks.

I wonder who will be in this stable next?

Look who is in Number 1 box now ….. love him x

Well it feels like summer is over and autumn is with us. So time to do faecal egg counts and saliva tests.
There is also a no nonsense blog from Horses Inside Out to help guide you on your way. ……

If you’ve ever stood in the feed room, wormer in hand, wondering whether you’re doing the right thing, you’re not alone. Modern horse owners are more informed than ever — but with that comes a flood of conflicting advice, out-of-date routines, marketing messages, and “heard it at the yard....
