โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿด Hot Weather Horse Care Reminder ๐Ÿดโ˜€๏ธ

Summer is here, and that means it's time to take extra care of our horses in the heat! ๐ŸŒก๏ธ High temperatures can quickly lead to dehydration, heat stress, or even heatstrokeโ€”so letโ€™s keep our equine friends safe and comfortable.

โœ… Tips for Hot Weather Horse Care:

๐Ÿ’ฆProvide plenty of fresh, clean water at all times.
๐ŸŒณOffer shade or bring horses in during the hottest parts of the day.
๐ŸŽLimit intense exercise to early morning or late evening.
๐ŸฅตUse fans in stables and spray-downs to help cool them off.
โ€ผ๏ธWatch for signs of heat stress: heavy sweating, rapid breathing, lethargy, or stumbling.
๐Ÿง‚Add salt to your horses diet with either electrolytes or with a salt lick ๐Ÿ˜‹

Remember, if it feels too hot for you, itโ€™s definitely too hot for them ๐Ÿฅตโค๏ธ

Stay cool, ride smart, and letโ€™s keep our horses healthy and happy all summer long! ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŒฟ

Horses joints are put under a lot of pressure from the day to day tasks we ask of them, so naturally it makes the joints susceptible to general wear and tear and sometimes we need to help with joint maintenance.

We are now in an era where we are fortunate enough to have several ways of medicating joints, all slightly different with their own benefits.

๐€๐ฅ๐ฉ๐ก๐š ๐Ÿ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐ข๐ง - Alpha 2 uses the horses own blood, which is spun in a centrifuge and then re-injected back into the joint. Similarly to steroids, Alpha 2 is an anti-inflammatory but without the withdrawal and potential risks of cartilage damage that comes from steroid use. It also doesnโ€™t bring along the increased risk of laminitis, making it safer compared to conventional steroids.

๐€๐ซ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ข๐ โ€“ Arthramid is a gel which is incorporated into the cartilage lining joints, helping line or cushion the joint with a protective lining. It is not a first line medication as it is best used following steroids. However the big benefit is that arthramid can have a longer lasting effect than some of the other options.

๐’๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ ๐‚๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ โ€“ More commonly used in soft tissue injuries, these have been used for joint disease. These repair the damage in a joint through a regenerative process, in theory โ€˜resettingโ€™ the disease. The stem cells can be harvested from the horses own bone marrow, which is sent off to be cultured to be injected back into the horse, or bought in, which when injected the stem cells target the damaged cartilage- Certainly a promising treatment option!

These include a consultation, lameness examination (trot up, flexion tests, with lunging on a soft and hard surface), discussion of clinical findings, with the option of being able to have treatment the same day at a discounted price.

This is the ideal time mid-season to ensure your horse is performing at its best and rule out any underlying niggles!

Having discussed the procedure and outcomes at length with Ewan it was decided that this would be a good fit going forward. Ewan was also able to attend the surgery at Edinburgh as part of CPD, allowing him to be able to offer this procedure at Alnorthumbria in the future for clients ๐Ÿคž
A superficial keratectomy was performed. A healing time remains while the area from which the diseased tissue was removed regrowns. Checks needed to continue within 2 weeks of the procedure, but now topical medical management has been able to cease and the eye continues to heal well.
