Just had to share this post from
Dani about Holly.

This picture makes me 🥰🥰🥰 here is Hollywood Dancer who has recently scanned in foal with her new best friend, a recip mare who is also carrying Holly's baby ❤️ in true Holly fashion she was very particular and fussy and decided Amiro Z was the only man for her 😂

It's a huge thanks to her wonderful owner for never giving up hope 🙏 and the amazing efforts from and top man and of course

This is Holly the event horse who came to stay after suffering a horrific field accident which resulted in her having to be hospitalised at The B&W Equine Hospital at Breadstone for many months before she came to stay with us for a further four months to continue her recovery before returning home. I was absolutely delighted to hear this week that she is in foal and that the vets have successfully harvested an embryo and implanted it in a recipient mare so all being well she will have two foals in the spring. Can’t wait to see these foals ! Congratulations to her owner.

Couldn’t agree more. Well said William.

William Funnell: “We need to produce horse people who understand horses”

"If we are not careful, we will have less and less real horse people in the future, which is something I worry about," William Funnell tells WoSJ.

Kiera and Shadow are back for another holiday stay. It’s lovely to see how they treat the yard as a second home and always look pleased to be with us settling in immediately and tucking into their hay.

Those of you who have followed this page for a while will probably remember “𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗡 “ the shire mare who came to stay back in 2015 for us to train her to become a riding horse after an inhand showing career. She went on to be ridden by my nephew Ash and the partnership then went on to win the winter unaffiliated dressage championship at Burrows Court Farm that year. A very proud trainer, coach and auntie moment !

Sadly the riding club have had to make the decision to cancel their Hunter Trails due to run with us on the 13th of October.

We do not want to leave an empty space in the calendar for you! Due to mine and my families logistics over the next ten days we are unable to pull together and run our own Hunter Trails in this time. However! We will run an Arena Eventing competition as we did earlier on this year with the SJ’s on the surface and a selection of XC fences on the grass area around the arena.

We can’t wait to see you all! This competition WILL run even if we only have 20 entries!

Entries normally close 7 days before this type of competition but we will leave them open until the clock strikes midnight on Monday the 7th, entries will remain open if we have enough space and at an additional late fee of £5.

Please spread the word many thanks! 🙏🏻

Beautiful day for a ride. Leah and Blase and Alisha and Casper making the most of the autumn sunshine.

We are so lucky to have Imogen at B&W Equine Hospital. I have had the pleasure of working with her on a variety of rehab cases as well as with my own horses and can’t recommend her too highly.

🐴 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆 & 𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 🐴

Make sure to take a look at the most recent edition of Horse & Hound magazine. In this issue, you’ll find an insightful 3-page piece by Imogen Johns delving into the various non-orthopedic factors that can affect the performance of sport horses. The article explores topics such as cervical disorders, respiratory issues, gastric ulceration, and cardiac disease.

For the past four years, we have investigated the pressures beneath different nosebands when adjusted from 2.0 to 0.0 finger tightness (0.0 finger adjustment so that the noseband was touching but not compressing the skin).

Poor noseband adjustment could create high pressures that may risk pain or tissue damage. This study is a step forward in providing quantitative data relating to pressures associated with noseband type and fit when adjusted to various tightness’s.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀:

🐴No significant difference between noseband pressures when the noseband was adjusted from 2.0 to 1.5 finger tightness.

🐴Noseband pressures were highest on the mandible vs. the lateral aspect of the nasal bones.

🐴No differences were found in noseband pressures between the cavesson, flash or Swedish (crank) noseband types at 2.0 to 0.5 finger tightness.

🐴The Drop noseband had the lowest absolute nasal pressures (mandible pressures not measured) and significantly lower values than the other nosebands. We need to be mindful of the position of the traditional drop. More work needed.

🐴Noseband pressures were lower when ridden in trot, compared with when chewing a treat.

🐴Noseband pressures were cyclical (rise and fall) and not continuous – changing during the stride and the chewing cycle of the horse.

As always, this is a team effort. Thank you to our research assistants, riders, owners and horses.. Thank you to our funders, World Horse Welfare, British Equestrian, Canadian Sport Horse Association, The Worshipful Company of Saddlers and Hartpury University.

I was delighted to see this picture of Mowgli back out competing with his owner Emily. We had the pleasure to look after Mowgli last year while he recovered from a serious field injury.
