We have a great team of professionals supporting us and looking after all our residents here at Padwick.

It takes a good team to keep them all happy and well 🫶

It was that time of the year to refresh what we think is very important..

Can you guess what Fi spent her Saturday doing 😝

Her bandaging skills are 👌🏻

I am sure you all know about Fi and Ian but if you didn’t already know, Fi is absolutely mad about everything horses, especially dressage!.

She’s always out walking their fields with the crazy spaniels, checking fences, making sure all the horses are happy and safe.

Meanwhile Ian is on a quad somewhere in the distance or underneath a machine, he’s always fixing something or looking to improve the farm, we know he stops for a horsey fix though 😉 and loves giving out some scratches… we’ve seen you Ian …

Enjoy your Friday ! 🐴

Winter here at Padwick farm

13/11/2023

A really interesting read about our hairy native friends, we have a ‘fat camp’ here for those horses & ponies prone to weight gain and we use the winter time to help regulate their weight in a natural way

It’s all change here with some of the horses coming into the barns and some moving onto well rested winter grazing, busy busy

Time and friends is something which we can provide for your horse if he/she has had an injury and you’ve tried everything else 🦄

*** TIME IS THE GREATEST HEALER ***

As far as injuries go, the greatest healer of all is time. We, as vets, can inject this and that (stem cells, steroids, polyacrylamide gels, PRP) to try to speed up healing time, or “improve” the healing process, but ultimately, all injuries, of every kind, need time.

You may say, “but, I don’t have time! My horse is meant to be competing at x/y/z!”. Ultimately, your horse won’t heal as well as someone who withdraws from the rest of the season, and gives their horse, “time”.

I absolutely “get it”. I have missed whole seasons with horses with the most minor of tendon injuries, but these injuries have always healed, and never reoccurred.

Our horses aren’t concerned if they miss half a season, or have a year out to recover from a tendon or ligament injury; it’s us, the riders/owners, that care.

I’m a vet. I X-ray/scan/nerve block/inject stuff. But, ultimately, a horse with an injury simply needs time. That’s not months shut in a stable, but careful rehab from day one.

Harold in his Eventing days…..he had 2 years off following an 85% tendon rupture, to return to winning dressage at Advanced Medium level.
