Here we are checking foetal heart rate to make sure the foal is still happy and healthy. This mare is overdue for foaling and has been intermittently uncomfortable. We are using ultrasound through the mare’s abdomen and scanning the foal’s heart inside the mare’s placenta. You can see the foal moving around during the scan!
👀 SNEAK PEEK at some of our prizes!! 🎁

👀Did you know that the classic ‘hee-haw’ noise a donkey makes is called ‘braying’?
🤔And that it is unique to donkeys- only they have the ability to vocalise both breathing in and out in the equid family!
💉Donkeys need their flu and tetanus vaccinations just like horses! The lovely pair today were both good as gold and we look forward to seeing them for their booster!

This is Lawson the Clydesdale foal ‘helping’ James with a dental on his mum. He’s the result of artificial insemination that we performed last year. He’s only 4 months old and huge! We were lucky to get all the dental equipment out in one piece!
Just a reminder to keep your horses and ponies cool and comfortable in the heat ☀️
We'd love to see photos of how your horses are keeping cool! 🐎
Here are some summer tips! 🍦
1. Avoid riding in the heat of the day, reduce work or don't ride at all!
2. Ensure plenty of access to fresh cool water, most horses and ponies will drink more in the heat but some may need encouragement
3. Make sure they have access to shade, natural cover from trees is often best
4. If they come in to beat the heat make sure the stables have plenty of ventilation
5. Offer salt/mineral licks
6. Full body cold hosing to cool off hot horses
7. Avoid sunburn on ponies and horses, especially those with fleshmarks/pink noses
If you are at all worried about you horse don't hesitate to call us

This cheeky little fella popped out to say hello when we were performing dental endoscopy on this horse recently. This is a bot larvae: the yellow bot eggs are ingested into the mouth by the horse and the eggs then hatch into these larvae. The larvae burrow into the gum until they are later swallowed into the stomach. Bots can cause problems but are thought to be rarely clinically significant. But get your bot knives out to stop them being ingested! In this video the larvae is between one of the upper cheek teeth and hard palate. Dental endoscopy can be done in the horse’s own stable with a live video screen and allows us to examine the teeth in great detail. #equinedentistry #horsevet #botfly #horsevetdevon #southmoorequinevets

‘Heartbeat’ scan of a mare we artificially inseminated last month. A happy last visit of the day #southmoorequinevets #horsevet #equinevetdevon #horsevetdevon #mare
With all the fog around Spud decided the best way to get rid of that Monday morning feeling was to share the coffee!
Anyone else's horse as cheeky as this?
