🐴 A Warm Welcome from Loch Leven Equine Practice to any or potential clients in the Perth & Kinross area, Fife & Central Belt🐴

We were so sorry to hear the news that Tay Valley Veterinary Centre - Equine will be closing their equine doors after years of commitment to our community. Having worked closely with their equine team we are deeply saddened by this news, as we know many others will be too.

We understand how upsetting and unsettling this must feel for their clients — many of you will have trusted them with your horses and ponies for years. Change like this can be difficult, and we want to reassure you that we’re here to help in any way we can.

At Loch Leven Equine Practice, we’re a friendly, local, family-run, independent team who pride ourselves on providing compassionate, professional care for horses of all shapes and sizes.

Our experienced team includes six dedicated equine vets, with advanced practitioners in medicine, orthopaedics, diagnostic imaging, and general equine practice. Alongside our vets out on the road who are in Perth and surrounding areas on a daily basis, we’re proud to offer a fully equipped clinical facility just 15 minutes south of Perth — so in an emergency, your horse can receive expert care from familiar faces, without the need for external referral.

💥Fireworks safety💥
Bonfire night is just around the corner and keeping your horses and pets safe can be a concern.

🌠Here are our top tips:
✅Communicate to see when displays are happening
✅ Keep your horse where they are at their safest
✅Play background music
✅Consider using earplugs and noise-reducing ear bonnets
✅Keep the lights on in stables
✅Keep yourself safe
✅Speak to your vet about sedation options if required

🚛In addition, remember to plan ahead to avoid travelling where possible so that you are not traveling your horse whilst displays are happening.

🎃ᕼᗩᑭᑭY ᕼᗩᒪᒪOᗯEEᑎ👻
Here is a throwback to one of the LLEP pumpkins a few years ago, but did you know where the spooky Headless Horseman originates from...?

👻The Headless Horseman is a mythical figure who has appeared in folklore around the world since the Middle Ages. The figure is traditionally depicted as a rider upon horseback who is missing his head.
Depending on the legend, the Horseman is either carrying his head or is missing his head altogether and is searching for it.

👻In American folklore: The legend of the Headless Horseman (also known as "the Headless Hessian of the Hollow") begins in Sleepy Hollow, New York, during the American Revolutionary War. Traditional folklore holds that the Horseman was a Hessian trooper who was killed during the Battle of White Plains in 28th October 1776. He was decapitated by an American cannonball, and the shattered remains of his head were left on the battlefield while his comrades hastily carried his body away.

👻In Scottish folklore, the Headless Horseman concerns a man named Ewen decapitated in a clan battle at Glen Cainnir on the Isle of Mull. The battle denied him any chance to be a chieftain, and both he and his horse are headless in accounts of his haunting of the area.

👻In the film Sleepy Hollow, the Headless Horseman's steed is called Gunpowder.

🎃We hope you enjoyed your Halloween fun facts, and if you have been pumpkin carving then we would love to see your pictures!
