Our April Q&A was all about Vaccinations, such as Flu, Tetanus, Herpes (EHV), Strangles and Sweet Itch.
Here is our vet Rebecca Davies BVetMed MRCVS answering some of your questions.
Last month our vet Holly Marshall was out with one of our clients and their horse for some specialist dental work. We work with an excellent referral team from @equinedentalclinic and Holly had Richard Reardon from EDC with her to carry out the complex dental restoration work.
Advances in equine dental examinations, diagnostics and treatment have been incredibly rapid over the last 20 years and as a result, we are seeing many more horses, ponies and donkeys with a variety of dental issues which in years gone by would have been much harder to detect, or even reached much worse stages of pain or decay.
The horse in this clip is having a number of fillings, which can be a lengthy process and one which requires the horse to be sedated (for the safety of horse and humans and to stop the horse from moving around). The work was incredibly intricate, requiring several stages of work on the affected teeth to thoroughly open up, clean out and prepare the holes in the teeth before starting with the next phase of filling the holes and setting the fillings (see the ultra violet light in the horse’s mouth). The procedure is assisted with the use of special camera which returns live footage onto the laptop so that Richard can see those hard to reach areas as he treats them.
Horses, ponies and donkeys should get their teeth checked once a year as standard (this includes equines less than 5 years old). If they are veterans or have dental issues, they may need 6 monthly checks or sometimes 3 monthly.

Fitness can be fun!
Saddle up and join our Brand Ambassador Imogen Casely cantering her pony Stella in this short clip! For a duo that spends a lot of time in the arena and at competitions, hacking out and a change of pace can help the horse and rider both mentally and physically. Don’t forget that fitness training can also be fun!

10 YEARS OF HIGHLIGHTS
Wow, what a decade it has been!
Established in 2013, Central Equine Vets have been working alongside many of you now for 10 years, ensuring that your horses, ponies and donkeys receive the best possible veterinary care.
Our three partners have been working hard to develop, grow and enhance the practice allowing for modern-day technology, training and treatment to provide the highest level of care.
When the practice opened in 2013, Central Equine Vets was a 2-vet practice based out of a Portacabin, building up a client base and practice from the very beginning. It’s never easy setting up a business but with the wonderful support and encouragement of our lovely customers, here we are, 10 years later.
We have Central Equine Vets HQ based at Swanston Farm, Edinburgh alongside a practice branch in Kinross. The team is made up of 3 partners, 4 veterinary surgeons, a practice manager, head receptionist and 3 practice dogs! We have not only worked alongside a variety of people over the years, but also had lots of fun along the way.
From working with clients through a pandemic, to working with emergency services to facilitate rescues, our vets really have seen it all. We have hosted and attended many events, presentations and shows, celebrated a Queens Jubilee, Kings Coronation, cared for the King of Oman’s troops, been on the news, and established a fantastic team of brand ambassadors.
We hope you enjoy a snippet into the last 10 years and here’s to many more!

Hands up whose horse does this EVERY TIME after a bath?!
Horses roll for a number of reasons - but when they roll after a bath, they are absolutely doing this to wind their owners up. 😎
Comment below why you think horses roll and how it might benefit them.👇

Today we hear from Brand Ambassador Imogen Casely, who’s had a really busy June!
“Stella and I started off June with something new! Well, still dressage but a new instructor in a beautiful new venue 😝 I was so grateful to be able to have a lesson with Michael Eilberg, it was great to have another persons point of view and some new exercises to get Stella’s canter a bit more jumpy (i.e she needs to put more effort in 🙈🤣) and some much needed shoulder-in practice as well.
Putting all of our newly learned information into practise we took a trip to Rockrose Equestrian Sports Centre just to get some more practise and experience at Elementary, as I’d still say I’m not as confident as I’d like, but we’re working on it 💪 It didn’t quite go to plan, with Stella wanting to go back to bed, and me wanting to go back to prelim 🥴🤪 However, a highlight was some very encouraging feedback from our Elementary 59 test and a personal best score as well 🤩
However, I still felt Stella and I could both be more secure in the test, so we popped along to Totleywells to have an incredible lesson with Karen Dewar. We learnt so much and came away feeling so much better about the championship test, safe to say it’s now off my top 10 list of fears! 😁
Because of Stella’s slight weight issue (to put it lightly), due to having foals and just being a Welshie, we always find spring/summer a lot harder to manage her weight while still having enough energy to be able to compete. It’s scary this time of year when the grass is so sugary and constantly growing, to think about the risk of laminitis and it’s long term effects. To try and lower the risk, at least 5 days a week I go out hacking with Stella, to do some cardio and make sure her heart rate is getting up. This does get harder to do when the ground is so dry, so I’m so thankful for the rain recently 💖
Next month we’re looking forward to Petplan and Regional BD championships, as well as
FARRIERS WEEK
It’s Farriers Week this week, so here’s to Farriers, who work long, physical days as part of your team, caring for your horse’s welfare. 💪🏻
