Every winter, I escape the British weather and head to South Africaโnot just for the sunshine, but because my brand has strong roots here. Itโs a great opportunity to work closely with our South African franchise owners, meet customers, and explore new territories. And as long as I have WiFi and regular Zoom or Teams meetings, I can work from anywhere!
This year, I had the chance to house-sit for seven weeksโa brilliant way to save the business money while staying close to my business partner. But what I hadnโt realised? Iโm far less productive in complete silence.
In theory, working alone in a quiet space should be the perfect setup, but I found myself struggling to focus. So now, every morning at 8 AM, I head to a local cafรฉ, order my coffee, and settle in for a solid few hours of deep work. The owners donโt mind as I keep the drinks flowing, and Iโve noticed a few other remote workers doing the same.
Iโm clearly not the only one who thinks this cafรฉ is the place to beโthereโs also a cheeky little bird thatโs figured it out too! Every morning, they swoop in to grab food, then fly off to feed their young. I managed to capture a video of itโwatch out for the ultimate definition of working smart, not hard! ๐ฆ
This experience has reaffirmed something I already knewโthereโs a reason I set up an office back in the UK, even though I could easily work from home. I thrive in an environment full of life, movement, and background noiseโit fuels my creativity and focus. Maybe that also explains why I canโt sleep in silence!
Itโs been a great reminder that productivity looks different for everyone. Where do you work best?

Horses on a hay-only diet, those without access to fresh grass, or horses under stress, in heavy work, or recovering from illness often need extra Vitamin E. Fresh grass is a natural source, but hay loses its Vitamin E content quickly during storage.
Providing the right amount of Vitamin E, often alongside other antioxidants like selenium (with careful balance), ensures your horse feels and performs their best.
For advice on supplementation, reach out to us at Maximum Animal Healthโweโre here to help keep your horses thriving! ๐ด

Vitamin E is one of the most essential nutrients for horses, playing a critical role in their overall health and wellbeing. Hereโs why:
๐. ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก
Vitamin E helps protect muscle cells from oxidative damage, which is especially important for performance horses or those in regular exercise. It aids in muscle recovery, reducing stiffness and fatigue.
๐. ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ
As a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E neutralizes harmful free radicals, supporting a strong immune system. This helps horses fight off illness and recover more quickly from infections or injuries.
๐. ๐๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ ๐
๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง
Vitamin E is crucial for maintaining a healthy nervous system. Deficiencies can lead to neuromuscular disorders such as Equine Motor Neuron Disease (EMND) or signs of muscle weakness.

Mud fever is a common condition in horses, but did you know it may be linked to the immune system and gut health? Here are the key points to consider:
* ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ ๐๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ?
* Affects the lower legs, causing scabs, redness, swelling, and discomfort.
* Often occurs during wet and muddy conditions.

* Mud fever occurs when bacteria penetrate the skin, often due to prolonged exposure to dampness.
* A strong immune system is vital for combating bacterial infections and aiding recovery.
* Horses with weakened immunity may be more prone to recurring or severe cases of mud fever.
* ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต
* A significant portion of a horseโs immune system is located in the gut.
* A healthy, balanced gut strengthens immunity, reducing the likelihood of infections like mud fever.
* ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฆ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐
