Ever wonder why your horse might be spooking at things that seem perfectly normal? Here’s a quick rundown on why your horse might be jumping at shadows:
Health issues: If spooking seems sudden or severe, it's worth checking in with your vet. Discomfort, pain or eye issues can make a horse more jumpy.
Heightened senses: Horses have incredibly sharp senses and are naturally wired to be alert to potential threats.
New environments: Moving to a new place or changing their routine can make your horse feel uneasy. Any new sight or sound can be a source of anxiety.
Past experiences: Sometimes, past traumas or negative experiences can cause a horse to be more reactive to certain stimuli.
Lack of confidence: Horses with less training or confidence might spook more easily.

If you are worried about your horse’s spooking, drop us a message or give us a call on 01487 773333

Atypical Myopathy
Horses can be more susceptible to Atypical Myopathy in the autumn, when the paddocks are bare and the autumnal winds blow.
Atypical myopathy is a potentially fatal disease of horses in the UK and Northern Europe which affects grazing horses. It is linked to the toxins that are present in sycamore seeds and has a seasonal prevalence, with most cases occurring in autumn/early winter and sometimes the following spring. This condition can cause severe muscle damage and can be fatal. Recognising the early signs is crucial: weakness, muscle tremors, dark urine, and difficulty standing or walking
If you are at all concerned about your horse potentially eating sycamore seedlings you must contact your vet immediately.
If you would like more information, please call us on 01487 773333.

It’s Tongue Out Tuesday! Did you know the horse has around 25,000 taste buds on their tongue? This is significantly more than humans, who have about 10,000. However, horses are more selective in their food choices, often using taste to avoid toxic plants or substances that could harm them.

FIREWORKS WEEKEND IS ALMOST UPON US!
Fireworks are an integral part of various celebrations and events, but their loud noises and bright flashes can cause stress and anxiety in horses. It is crucial to take proactive measures to ensure the wellbeing of your horse during firework displays. Early preparation and training can significantly reduce the negative impact of fireworks on horses and create a more comfortable environment for them.
Ideas include:
1.Ensure their stables or turnout areas are free from sharp objects or potential hazards that could cause injury if they become agitated.
2. On the day of the firework event, provide distractions to keep horses engaged and reduce their focus on the outside noise. Turning on soft background music or using white noise machines can help drown out firework sounds. Additionally, engaging in grooming or bonding activities can provide comfort and reassurance.
3. Before the fireworks start, consider turning out your horse in a secure paddock or arena. Allowing them, to move freely can help release pent up energy and reduce anxiety. Adequate exercise during the day may also contribute to a calmer demeanour during the evenings festivities.
4. If your horse has severe anxiety or a history of panic during loud events, speak with one of our vets. They can provide additional guidance and may recommend appropriate calming supplements or medications if necessary. PROSETOL produced by Hestevard offers advanced nervous system support for young, stressed or nervous horses. Remember, always follow your vets advice and dosage recommendations.

Call 01487 773333 if you would like any further information or advice.

This is a video of abdominocentesis being performed, it is often referred to as a ‘belly tap’.
A needle is very carefully passed through the abdominal wall of the horse in order to sample the fluid surrounding the organs in the abdominal cavity. Normally, there is a very small volume of clear straw coloured fluid. However, fluid can be cloudy or red.
Ultrasound is used to identify any areas of fluid accumulation in the horse's abdomen helping to choose where to take the sample from.
Abdominocentesis is a very useful diagnostic test in cases of colic, peritonitis and weight loss The sample can be used to test for the presence of bacteria, inflammatory cells, blood or gut contents.
This helps us to make appropriate decisions on how best to care for your horse.

Today, Thursday 10th October is World Mental Health Day.

On World Mental Health Day, let’s celebrate the unique ways we can support our wellbeing! Horses have a remarkable ability to boost our mental health through their gentle presence and non-judgmental companionship. Spending time with horses can reduce anxiety, improve mood and foster a sense of calm. Whether through riding, grooming, or simply being near them, horses offer a healing touch for our minds and hearts.
