Due to a vodafone issue - our vets may experience a disruption of service over the coming weeks. They will always have some degree of contractability but it maybe they utilise an alternative number for a short period. This will not affect the main office number so if in doubt please contact the office on 01361 889106. Out of hours this number will transfer directly to the on duty vet.

Rider Spotlight - Sarah Farnsworth

Everyone at Equitait would like to wish Sarah the very best of luck in the CCI 4* long at Bramham this week!

Sarah is riding “The Ridge Cardento” known to his friends as “Dave”. He’s a beautiful horse with a truly lovely character and has been home produced by Sarah and her sister Ruth.
Sarah and Dave have had some outstanding results this season including a win in the Open Intermediate Under 21 class at Oasby and a spectacular clear round in the fiercely competitive 4* class at Belsay to come 24th against some of the best horse & rider combinations in the world!
Over the last few years Sarah has worked with us at Equitait through the university breaks, and throughout this season she has been completing her dissertation for her final year at Exeter University!
It’s an incredible achievement to have produced a horse to this level and we hope you really enjoy the whole Bramham experience!
GOOD LUCK! 🏇🍀

Influenza - update

We have been watching an increase in flu outbreaks in England over the past few weeks but in recent days it has come closer with an outbreak in Northumberland confirmed on Wednesday and Lanarkshire yesterday.

Since the beginning of April 2026, the surveillance team that watch for influenza have received details from 21 confirmed outbreaks of equine influenza (EI) on premises across 15 counties in the UK (with more unconfirmed cases about).

The majority of initial cases were noted in either unvaccinated or horse of unknown vaccination history.

For practical biosecurity measures and thoughts on ensuring vaccines are up to date please see the attached document.
For horses that are high risk they should consider boosting their horses if it has been over six months since their last vaccination.

Like Buses - after a wait, yesterday was busy in the foaling suites - two foals, both up and sucking and placentas passed. We were lucky then to meet one of their full sisters, Matilda while out on the road. Matilda turned one year old a few weeks ago. All Bon Jovi's offspring.

Weekly Stallion Spotlight - Djarfur

Djarfur or "Talent" as he is known at home, is a show jumping pony stallion that lives up to his name.

Known for producing smart, athletic child friendly offspring, he is a popular choice and a great asset to have in Scotland, where there are a limited number of pony stallions specific to show jumping lines.

Weekly Stallion Spotlight - Equiplay Melody 'Frog'

Frog is a maternal half brother to the world famous and prolific Connemara sire, 'I love you Melody', who was well known for producing performance ponies that competed to the highest levels. Frog's dam Equinoxe Melody was Supreme Champion of the French National Show in 2000 and 2002 and has produced a number of Class 1 stallions. He transfers the great temperament, intelligence, bravery and stunning looks that that we expect from the Melody lines. The only Melody stallion standing in the UK, Frog is so sensible at home and very easy to handle. He is currently assisting a 10 year old girl progress through her pony club stage, whilst standing at stud at Equitait Veterinary Practice. This means he can cater for natural covers and both fresh and chilled AI with the functionality to add in the expertise of stud vets from the practice as and when required.
