All three baby horses enjoying their Physio.. Thank you Loren Pearson - Optimal Dynamics Veterinary Physiotherapy. You Have played a vital part in all rehab routines and plans and young horses the past couple of years!

Physio is such a vital part in a horses work routine. 🐴
Check out the before and after pictures that Loren has labelled with arrows.. amazing! Mack feeling much more comfortable and free.

A lot more maintenance stretches and ground work to do to build up strength in these young horses.. which have all only recently been backed; but time and patience does the job to keep the big Irish boys ticking over. 💕 and of course an awesome Physio. 🐴

FAQ’s 🙏🏻

Almost all horses have been infected with the virus and have no serious side effects. It is currently unknown what causes some infected horses to develop the serious neurological forms that may be fatal.

Hi Everyone!

Due to there being multiple suspected cases of EHV in Yarm, Maltby and Stokesley arena, we've made the decision to cancel all lessons, and area hire for at least the next 2 weeks.

Any horses coming in for visiting livery will be strictly quaranteened for 21 days, and prior to arrival, needs to provide a note of health from vets, a signed note to state they have not been on another yard to their home yard within 21 days of arrival with us and proof of 10 days normal temperatures.

We ask Liveries not to leave the yard, and if at all possible restrict any other contact with other horses / yards. If you do can you please disinfect your boots and change your clothing, to be extra bio secure.. (this should be done between yards anyway)

We've made these decisions to protect the horses on our yard. No horse will leave our yard if any of the horses stabled with us have a raised temperature or is at all under the weather!

TIA Oxbank Team! 🐴🐴

Mr Mack, looking all fresh with his clip, trimming and new boots. Not perfect, but was completed with patience 🙏🏻❤️ his head is actually in proportion to his body, I don’t know why it looks so big on the photos. 😂

Jack went for his first hack today since being here and he was a very good boy ❤️

09/02/2021

Super proud of this big baby today, meet Arty, a lot of maturing to do but what a clever boy. He’s had the roller on today for the first time, his lunging is improving massively and the long reining needs a little improvement. All in all a fab day ❤️🐎
He was enjoying himself 😂
