🐴 🪱 Find out if your horse needs worming by submitting a faecal worm egg count. It’s important to only worm your horse if necessary and use an appropriate wormer to target the right worms at different times of year. Our Horse Health Programme includes 4 worm egg counts and our vets are always happy to give advice regarding a suitable worming plan. Give us a call to sign up or if you’re already a member, is it time for your horse’s next worm egg count? 🪱 🐴

FLIES

With the warm weather, the flies are out in force! Here some top tips to keep your horse free from flies this summer!

🐴Use fly repellent or spray
🐴Consider a fly mask - this is especially useful for horses with sensitive eyes
🐴If appropriate, consider a breathable fly rug
🐴Stabling during the day or shaded areas will provide some relief from flies
🐴Consider a fly trap or sticky fly catchers near your horses stable – make sure they are safely out of reach!
🐴Keep stables skipped out and fields poo picked – flies are attracted to manure!
🐴Consider feeding a garlic supplement – garlic has natural insect repelling qualities
🐴Keep water troughs and buckets clean

SWEET ITCH

Unfortunately, there is yet to be a cure for sweet itch. However there are many ways you can help prevent and manage the symptoms.

The symptoms of sweet itch are itching, usually around the mane, tail and neck. However, in the worst cases it can manifest itself anywhere on the horse. These areas are often irritated, hairless with scaly/lumpy skin and can bleed and become thickened.

🦟Invest in a fly rug – make sure your horse is wearing it early in the season before the midges start biting. They are active between March and November normally but the condition can affect horses all year round.
🦟Use a fly natural repellent to help deter midges
🦟Try to keep your horse stabled at dawn and dusk when midges at their most active
🦟Avoid grazing horse in fields with open water sources. Flies & midges are attracted to these areas.
🦟Use anti itching shampoos containing calming properties such as oatmeal. Your vet can also recommend shampoos that contain local anaesthetics.
🦟Speak to your vet regarding any other treatments they can offer to help manage symptoms.
