Pleased to announce a new sponsored rider for 2024 (alongside existing riders).

Emily has many traits that I recognise in myself, her dedication to Gina’s care is a big one and for that reason I am proud to support them this year! More about Emily and Gina below.

Good luck Emily and Gina 🍀

After having a love for ponies all her childhood, Emily was lucky enough to finally buy her own pony in December 2021. Gina is a 14.2, 10 year old Welsh D mare with a heart of gold and a pinch of Welshie sass! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Emily started to train Gina what she knew and after lots of blood, sweat and tears, Gina has turned into a super pony competing regularly. She turns her hoof to anything, gaining lots of experience along the way.

A huge achievement for them both was coming second in the British Dressage My Quest Open Prelim leaderboard 2023 out of 123 competitors across the UK. This meant a lot to Emily as when she bought Gina she couldn’t canter due to being unbalanced and weak behind.

Emily’s aims for 2024:
1. Keep having lots of fun with Gina
2. Continue to work at improving Gina’s canter
4. Get out to new venues & hopefully earn a sash
5. Continue to grow their partnership together
6. Have a go at a novice dressage test

Emily and Gina compete and attend lessons doing lots of different disciplines such as dressage, SJ, XC, arena eventing and unaffiliated events such as ODE, hunter trials and compact events.

Cleobury Mortimer area 🐶

⚠ Alabama Rot - confirmed case ⚠

Unfortunately we have seen a confirmed case of Alabama Rot, also known as CRGV, this time in the Cleobury Mortimer area. An additional case is suspected but not yet confirmed.

While there is no need for panic, we're advising dog owners to be vigilant and to contact their vet if their dog develops unexplained skin lesions, particularly on the legs or paws.

We don't yet know what causes CRGV and it remains a very rare disease. Most cases occur between November and May and there is some evidence of a link to walking in wet, muddy woodland areas. It may be beneficial to wash and dry your dog after a muddy walk. Current advice is that there is no need to avoid walking in certain areas.

Signs to look for:

▪️ Skin sores not caused by a known injury, particularly on the legs or paws
▪️ Swollen skin
▪️ Redness

Signs that may be seen if kidney problems develop:

▪️ Vomiting
▪️ Changes in behaviour such as fatigue or lack of appetite

Further information can be found at Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists dedicated page ➡️ www.alabama-rot.co.uk

Housekeeping post 📢

If your horse has had a treatment in the last few weeks please can you check you have paid?

I have £600 outstanding at the moment which is not fun.

Thank you!

Housekeeping post 🤪

If you have had a treatment in the last few weeks please can you check you have paid? I am aware my emails can end up in junk folders so sending them again often doesn’t help me 🙂

Thank you 👍🏼

Did you know?

Veterinary physiotherapists are not permitted to treat undiagnosed lamenesses.

It is quite common for horse owners to call the physio before calling the vet when there horse isn’t right. I do understand this perspective but if there is a lameness we cannot do anything until the vet has seen the horse.

If you are concerned about your horse for lameness that is new or is not already under veterinary treatment please call your vet in the first instance.

Obviously if you are not sure whether you need the vet please contact me, I am happy to look at videos and / or advise.

Just putting it out there as many people are unaware of this. It’s not us being difficult, our hands are tied to protect the horse.

We’ve had a load more snow overnight and the road’s treacherous meaning I’m stuck at home again.

I’ll start rearranging appointments when the weather settles and I know where I am.

Sorry for any inconvenience. It’s pretty but it can do one!
