Amazing Feedback for our team today, We are glad we have been able to make the vets attendance a really positive one for this horse and owner

***************
I would highly recommend Epona vets, especially for horse owners who have had previous distressing experiences with vet visits re nervous horses.
I moved to Epona vets last year and the service I have received has been outstanding. As an example, my pony was getting terrified of needles in her neck given for sedation, and we have had bad experiences where vets were unable to give her the injection without an oral sedative first due to her barging even when a few people were holding her. I had become very nervous around this behaviour and explained this to Epona when she had to be sedated for a dental visit. However, they completely reassured me that would it be ok and I am very pleased they were right! The service is very personable and knowledgeable - a team of two came down including a vet who is also a dentist they spent some time getting to know my pony before using great horsemanship to give her the injections with no issues and explaining to me what was creating the issue and also teaching me about the importance of ground work skills. I am so glad I found Epona - happy pony and happy owner and I am know longer scared of vet visits for my pony. Thankyou!

Some of our equine vets, nurses, yard managers and safety experts recently met with representatives from the University of Liverpool and helmet manufacturer Uvex to discuss one vital topic: The use of protective headwear to make equine veterinary work safer.

The meeting followed recently published CVS-funded research by Dr John Tulloch of the University of Liverpool which highlights the high risk of injury faced by equine vets & nurses. In response, CVS has introduced a mandatory helmet policy for all staff handling or treating horses. Colleagues have a choice of designs from riding helmets to specialist protective headwear worn by the emergency rescue services, but currently none are designed specifically for use by equine vets.

The group explored possible helmet design, shared first-hand experiences and talked about the cultural change needed across the industry to make helmet wearing the ‘norm’. They also learned from Uvex about safety standards and the rigorous testing behind protective helmets.

Change won’t happen overnight, but the message was clear: if helmet-wearing saves just one life or prevents a life-changing injury, it’s worth it.

What do you think? It would be great to hear your thoughts on this topic. Please feel free to add your comments below.
