I was flattered to be asked to write this article for Animal Therapy Magazine. Wonderful to see it in print and I hope that this encourages others to spend some time thinking about how to best travel their horses and maintain their trailers/lorries.

The method of feeding hay to horses (floor, haynet, Haybar) affects the head and neck position on a daily basis. Study suggests an effect on the musculoskeletal system, with notable differences in areas of muscle tension. May imply a link between how horses are fed and their musculoskeletal health

How about a 'Feel-Good-Friday' story? The power of the human-animal bond is so beautifully captured below. Assisting the North Valley Animal Disaster Group in Butte County during the , Napa CART and Sonoma CART teams were dispatched to locate four dogs who were reportedly running around a burned-out area. It had been several days since the fire, and our teams knew we had to find them and bring them to safety.

Dedicated Animal Search and Rescue Napa CART team member Annette Laverty (pictured below), was onsite along with Napa County Animal Services officer Patrick Sagar and others who found these sweet dogs. They were brought to the Del Oro Animal Shelter where they received exceptional care from staff and the CVET team.

Imagine if this was your dog out there after a fire - what a relief to know there are highly trained volunteers who can mobilize to safely find and reunite animals affected by these disasters and emergency situations!

For all those enjoying the Eventing st the olympics, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes

Dogs are incredibly resilient creatures, but they also have their limits.

When a dog repeatedly tries to communicate discomfort or distress through subtle signals like yawning, lip licking, or avoiding certain activities, and those signals go unnoticed or ignored, they may feel compelled to escalate their behaviour to be heard.

This can manifest as growling, snapping, or biting – behaviours that are often misunderstood as aggression - when they are, in fact, desperate attempts to communicate.

By learning to recognise and respond to these signals, we can prevent potentially dangerous situations and foster better communication with our canine companions.

Our book Why Don't You Listen talks all about the signs of distress a dog might show, and is presented in a fun and engaging way. Aimed at children but great for the whole family!

The recent incident involving a police responder immobilising a young heifer with a vehicle has caused outcry from many quarters. Viewing this approach looks terrible and it undoubtedly is.
