Urm…. So it seems I’m not getting notifications for some Facebook messages again, and I’ve just looked and there’s quite a few to get through.

I’m so sorry, and I’ll be working my way through them as quickly as possible.

But please feel free to message by text/whatsapp to 07707894102.

Now then, without question, I have the best clients in the country, and one of you mega beauties recently reminded me of this cracker….

Ever since I can remember, I’ve kept the hibiscrub I use to clean down all my instruments in a sports bottle -I used to be an avid cyclist in a former life, so I have a lot of these around. But I also keep my vimto (official drink of champions) in a very similar bottle.

Whilst is was a few years ago now, it took about 15yrs before I made the inevitable mistake and mixed up these bottles…. And I did not wash my kit in vimto 🫣

Further info:

1) I made it about 500 yards down the road.
2) Projectile.
3) Heart burn for about 3 days.
4) Still use these bottles.

Just to answer a few questions I’ve had today:

Yes, we have an oroscope, and will usually take advantage of any opportunity your horse is adequately sedated to perform an oroscopic examination. There is no additional charge for this.

I have, and do, sometimes use the scope in unsedated cases if they’re quiet. Usually, I take video footage and then take stills from the video.

Had a hot date with this beauty this week. As you can see, she’s got a fair piece missing 😮 this was as a result of a tumour when she was younger.

As a consequence of being dent absente, the opposite crowns need careful management to ensure they don’t over erupt and become an issue (remember, unopposed equid teeth will just carry on erupting, and if not treated, will wear through soft tissue and into bone).

To make this minor procedure as comfortable and stress free as possible, we had a little Dutch courage (for the horse, not me), and we took full advantage of this opportunity to perform an oroscopic examination of the whole mouth. Thankfully, there were no nasties uncovered - but some interesting observations including an improvement to her peripheral caries (a type of decay), and some small dental fissures (which look like cracks).

I’ve been papped! 😂 thank goodness the stable had a sloping floor and big banks, otherwise I wouldn’t have reached this corker 😍

But check out the absolute beauty in the next stable - she stood watching me like that the whole time 😃

While at first glance it seems AI has been particularly generous with this week’s action figure, there is a degree of accuracy in the tan level of my legs… Apologies to all concerned…. The shorts are out and about.
