When taking your horse to competitions or lessons, it's really important that we consider what we should be doing to minimise the risk of spreading infectious equine diseases such as equine influenza, strangles and EHV. Good biosecurity is key and here are some basic measures you can take to help:

Before the event:
• Ensure that your horse's vaccinations are up-to-date
• Do not take your horse to an event or off the yard if they, or another horse on the yard, is suspected of having, or is diagnosed with, an infectious disease

At the event:
* Don't share water/feed buckets or equipment/tack
• Avoid nose to nose and close contact with other horses
• Ensure good hand hygiene measures between handling or touching other horses
• Take your own water supply
• Social distancing measures can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases in horses as well as people!

After the event:

• Monitor your horse for signs of infectious disease
Horses that have attended an event where they may have been exposed to an infectious disease should be isolated/quarantined - speak to your vet for advice.

Please do get in touch if you would like further information about biosecurity, not only for the travelling horse but also measures you can take for new arrivals and for your yard as a whole.

2025 GASTROSCOPE CLINIC DAYS!

Thinking about your 2025 goals? Is your horse lacking enthusiasm during your training sessions? Or becoming increasingly grumpy when you groom/tack up?

To ensure your horses have the best start to the season (whatever they may be doing!) we have three new dates for our gastroscope clinic in early 2025, where we are offering gastroscopy appointments for less than half price at Moorhouse Equestrian Centre, DN6 7HA.

🐴 Signs of gastric ulcers in horses can be:
- Poor performance
- Difficulties when tacked up, groomed or ridden
- Changes in behaviour
- Colic
- Weight loss
- Reduced appetite

Our upcoming dates are as follows:
- Thursday 16th January 2025
- Thursday 30th January 2025
- Tuesday 4th February 2025

The price of the gastroscopy, including sedation and a written report, will be £160.
This is payable upon time of booking.
Please call the office on 01977 652280 to secure your place! Places are limited.

Please note:
- Any medication prescribed as a result of the gastroscopy will be chargeable in addition to the initial fee.
- Worried about travelling your horse without food? We can stable and starve your horse overnight prior to scoping at an additional cost of £25 for livery.

Happy new year to all of our lovely clients! We hope 2025 is full of happiness and health for you and your furry friends...

SPECIAL WINTER OFFER - FOOT BALANCE X-RAYS

The autumn and winter months can be challenging for hooves, with changes in weather conditions and increasing moisture detrimental to horn quality. Regular good quality trimming and shoeing is essential to mitigating these risks.

In order to help you and your farriers, we are running a discounted offer on foot balance x-rays over the winter months.

The x-rays can be performed at our clinic at Moorhouse Equestrian Centre, DN6 7HA or can be booked at your yard (visit fee will apply).

Front feet only: £120 (saving £94.20!)
All four feet: £150 (saving £143!)

Please call the office on 01977 652280 to book. This offer is running until the end of January, so be quick!

🩺🦷 DENTAL OFFER 🩺🦷

At the Equine Veterinary Centre, we strongly believe that regular dental examinations and treatments are essential to keep your horse happy and healthy. Keeping on top of dental health can help with your horse's responsiveness and comfort whilst being ridden. Poor dentistry can also contribute to weight loss, choke and colic issues.
We recommend at least one dental examination per 12 months.
Younger and older horse may require more frequent dental checks, ideally every 6 months.

We are excited to offer a comprehensive dental examination offer, to include:
- Sedation
- Thorough oral examination, including oroscopic exam
- Dental rasping
- Dental chart and report

These appointments are to be made at our clinic at Moorhouse Equestrian Centre, DN6 7HA and will be 1 hour slots per horse.
Oroscopic examination is a specialised camera that we use to look at the mouth in detail, especially areas which are difficult to visualise with a mirror.

The price of the examination is £75 including sedation, giving you a discount of £133!

The following dates are available for booking, with limited availability - be quick to book before the slots are full!

Monday 16th December
Thursday 19th December
Monday 30th December

09/12/2024

It is a good idea for your horse to have a routine health check performed at least once a year by a veterinary surgeon. During the health check, the vet will:

• Examine the skin for any lumps/bumps or signs of disease

• Listen to the heart and lungs

• Check your horse's eyes

• Assess your horse's weight/body condition

• Look in the horse's mouth and assess dental condition (not a full dental examination)

• See the horse trot up to look for any signs of lameness

• The vet may take blood sample for testing if there is cause for concern.

The health check is a great opportunity for you to chat to the vet about any concerns you may have about your horse. After all, you know him better than anyone else and will also know if he is 'not quite right’. It's also a good reference point should a condition or illness emerge over the next few months.

It is important to point out that a health check should not be confused with a pre-purchase examination (vetting). A vetting is an assessment of the horse as to whether it is fit for purpose whereas a health check is to determine, as far as possible, that you have a healthy horse.

A yearly health check is included in the price of the Horse Health Program here at The Equine Veterinary Centre, as well as a yearly flu & tetanus booster, yearly dental check and rasp, and discounts off of procedures and medications. To find out more about the Horse Health Program please call the office on 01977 652280.

It’s that time again for our December cover photo to be chosen!

We love seeing our clients out and about (or tucked in, like the lovely Frank here!) Comment your photos below for a chance for your horse or pony to feature on our page for the whole of December 🎄

The winner will be chosen by the EVC team next Friday, the 13th of December and posted here on our Facebook. Entries must be happy to have their photo shared by the clinic on social media.

Our equine ulcer gastroscope clinic is next Tuesday, the 10th of December. There are limited spaces remaining so please contact the clinic to book yours. The clinic is £160 and included sedation, scope and written report. That’s better than half price! Horses must be brought to the clinic here at Moorhouse and payment must be made at the time of booking.

🪱 It’s that time of year - tapeworm testing! 🪱 As part of our Horse Health Programme, you will receive an autumn Equisal Tapeworm saliva test. This test can either be collected from the office, posted out to you (this is chargeable) or brought out by the vet if you have an appointment coming up. Please call the office on 01977 652280 to request your test. The result from your tapeworm saliva test will be reported directly to us. In combination with the most recent faecal worm egg count result and the results of our brand new Risk Assessment, we will advise on the most appropriate worming protocol for your horse. The link for our risk assessment form has been emailed to all HHP clients. Below is a video with step by step instructions on how to carry out your saliva test successfully:
