The little and the large, and those in between, both in size and personality. The individual, the few and the many!

What would the modern world be like without the help of the horse?

They have shaped our history and a been fundamental asset in agriculture, transport, communication, construction, war, sport and status.

It has been beautiful to watch the heavy horses parade today at Hollowell. There are less than 100 Suffolk Punch breeding mares left now, they are very sadly critically endangered as a breed.

A nasty allergic reaction the day of prom! Quick action from the owners and us had Ted comfortable and looking his finest to proudly carry his Mum Gem to celebrate.

They both look stunning!! We love to see photos of our patients excelling in all their different roles. It means a lot and we are proud to have made a small contribution.

Your horse doesn’t cool down by drying off - they cool by evaporation.

Scraping water off or trapping heat under a sweat rug undermines cooling and puts your horse’s health at risk. This isn’t opinion — it’s basic thermoregulation.

Sweat scrapers and sweat rugs are outdated dogma. And yet, disappointingly, some large equine clinics are still promoting their use today.

In 34°C heat, that advice is not just wrong — it’s dangerous.

Follow the science. Choose vets who understand equine physiology, not just tradition.

✅ Soak.
✅ Shade.
✅ Repeat.
❌ No scraping.
❌ No rugs.

Watch out for the hard ground. It feels bizarre to say we need rain but we really do.

There are plenty of coughing horses, laminitics, concussion lameness, brittle feet getting bruised or hoof abscesses and impaction colic cases.

At the practice we've been cleaning out water troughs, running round with sunblock for those with pink noses and putting out salk licks or feeding electrolytes. Meanwhile we'd like to stay in the shade as much as the horses get to!

Big respect to all the farriers who work in this heat too.

We are always open to new methods but on reflection we will be continuing to take horses' temperatures the normal way!

A horse's normal temperature is 37-38.5 degrees Celsius. You should have a digital thermometer in your first aid kit. We have them available to buy as a solo item or part of our basic emergency first aid kits.

Be scared of new grass! A prolonged dry spell followed by this rain and cooler temperatures will result in sudden and rapid grass growth. All those horses who have come through winter with a bit of extra condition, or that have cushings or metabolic disease and most importantly ANY horse grazing lush pasture will be at higher risk of laminitis, diarrhoea and colic. Horses are designed to thrive on poor quality forage, having covered miles to access it. Our pastures are often simply too good for our equine friends and the consequences can be significant.

We are truly a family run practice! Thank you to everyone who has messaged, called, sent cards and gifts and popped in to say hello. Lucinda and Den have a new addition, little Tessa; who is more than adorable.

The support has been amazing both from the team and from many lovely clients who we have got to know well over the years. Thank you to Sarah, Kate and Jacopo for working so hard as Lucinda had a "quieter" couple of weeks. It's always been full steam ahead with a great focus.
