🏆 Congratulations 🏆

Big congrats to Inhand Supreme and Reserve champions at Simonswood Riding Club in our sponsored ring yesterday!

Despite miserable weather lots of lovely horses and ponies turned out including Louis and Rosie who went on to win their classes and the championship! Nice to see so many of our clients supporting these local shows, Let’s hope the next one has better weather! 🥇🐴

☀️💦 Stay Hydrated Folks 💦☀️

It’s lovely to be out spending time with our horses and ponies in this lovely weather but it’s important to make sure they’re looked after in the heat!

💦 Make sure plenty fresh, clean water is available to your horses at all times

🌳 Make sure horses have access to shelter whether natural or man-made so they can protect themselves from the heat

🪰 Use fly repellents and protection to keep your horses safe from the flies and midges, although be careful your horse don’t overheat in their rugs . Thoroughly cleaning stables and poo picking can reduce flies around your horses

🐎 Avoid exercising your horses in very hot temperatures and make sure they are washed down after work

🚛 Be mindful of when and for how long you travel in warm weather, travelling in hot conditions can put horses at increased risk of illness

If you need some advice on looking after your horses in the heat speak to one of our vets. Ring 01704821204 option 2.

💙 Happy Retirement Seamus 💙

As some may know today was Seamus’ last day as he moves into his well earned retirement. It’s sad news for the equine community and he’ll be sorely missed by all our clients and his colleagues!

A couple of words from the man himself..

‘After 37 years working as a horse vet at Rufford, I have finally decided to take a step back and have a break. Do a few different things and indulge in some new hobbies along with spending some quality time with the dogs… and Pauline!

The team are well placed to take over my cases and all will continue as normal at the practice.

I wish everyone the very best - It’s been a great career!

A big thank you to all our clients past and present for the privilege of helping look after your horses ‘

Join us in thanking him for all his hard work over the years, share your messages below and we’ll make sure he sees them.

Thanks for everything Seamus!! 🐴

Yesterday we had a visit from the specialists at Equine Dental Clinic Ltd to help us treat a couple of our more complex dental cases. Nicole joined us to extract 3 pretty nasty teeth, including the one pictured below. Certainly better out than in!

The EDC visit us every couple of months with their specialist equipment and knowledge. We’re very lucky to have their help to handle the tricky cases.

If you’re worried about your horses teeth get in touch to discuss or arrange a visit with one of our vets. Ring 01704 821204 option 2 to discuss.

To round off Mental Health Awareness Week, we're sharing a few lovely comments that have made us smile! 🥰

We all know that with horses, some days are good and others are bad. That's no different as an Equine vet, some days are spent cuddling healthy new born foals and others are long and gruelling with bad outcomes.

With this in mind its so lovely to get such positive comments from our clients! We at Rufford work really hard to provide the best service possible and its great to hear our efforts are appreciated! So thank you!

We do take your feedback on board so please take the time to respond to any surveys sent your way and have your say!

👩‍⚕️Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month 👩‍⚕️

We're taking this opportunity to show our appreciation to our nurse, Molly, she's a STAR 🌟

Molly passed her nursing exams last year after 3 long years of hard training.

You may see more of Molly out and about on the road and if not definitely in our clinic if you come to visit. If you do, tell her she's fantastic!
