❗ IMPORTANT ❗

As the Christmas holidays approach, please make sure you have an adequate supply of medication for your horse. We recommend placing any repeat prescription orders as soon as possible to guarantee availability throughout the festive season.

To avoid delays, we encourage collecting your medication directly from the practice, as postal services may be slower during this busy period. Collecting in person will ensure your horse has everything needed without interruption.

Please allow up to 48 hours for veterinary authorisation and prescription processing. Thank you for your attention, and we wish you and your horse a happy and healthy Christmas holiday.

As the festive season approaches, please let us know who can act on your behalf if you’re away.

Choose someone you trust and discuss your horse’s emergency plan with them. This ensures your horse receives proper care if a veterinary call-out is needed, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Did you know ❓

Each of the hairs in your horse's coat is designed to lift and trap layers of warm air close to the skin, creating an effective natural insulation system that helps them maintain body heat in cold, windy conditions.

Over-rugging or using poorly fitted rugs can flatten this natural barrier, reducing its effectiveness. A well-fitting rug, chosen appropriately for the weather and your horse’s condition, supports their natural winter protection without compromising it.

Smart rugging means your horse stays comfortable, warm and healthy, letting their coat do what nature intended.

It's a privilege to work with animals and our amazing clients who tirelessly care for them every day. Sadly, it hits us all when the incredibly hard decision to put a beloved pet to sleep is made. Thinking of you all Beirhope Alpacas.

As temperatures drop, your horse’s muscles and joints may feel stiffer. Here’s how to help them stay comfortable and active:

❄ Warm up properly – gentle walking and stretching before more intense work
❄ Check footing – avoid icy or uneven surfaces that could cause slips or injuries
❄ Support joint health – ask your vet about targeted care for your horse
❄ Cool down & stretch – help muscles relax after exercise to prevent stiffness

Regular, safe movement is key to keeping your horse happy and mobile this season.

📞 Contact us if you notice persistent stiffness or lameness – early intervention makes all the difference.

The short answer: YES!

Without regular rasping, uneven wear can cause sharp points, pain, chewing problems and behavioural issues. Regular dental care keeps your horse comfortable, healthy and performing at their best.

✅ Tip: Most horses benefit from a dental check and rasp at least once a year; some, like young, senior, or working horses, may need more frequent attention.

❗️Important: Dental checks should always be done by a veterinary surgeon or qualified Equine Dental Technician (EDT). Our experienced veterinary team is fully trained to perform thorough and expert dental examinations.
