Firework season is upon us!

We know that whilst for some it’s a time to celebrate, for other owners firework season can be a bit stressful! Whilst most horses are quite used to loud noises, here are a few things you can do to help your horses through this season……

- Keep your horses in their usual routine! We know horses don’t cope well with sudden change, so this is so important to reduce stress and prevent conditions such as colic. If you do need to change your horses’ routines for the fireworks, it’s worth starting it now so you can do it gradually so by the time the fireworks start that is their “new normal”.

- Make sure they have friends and food! Horses rely on a herd to give them confidence in stressful situations, so make sure if they are staying out or coming in that they have company.

- Distraction with “white noise” such as the radio can drown out the loud sudden bangs of fireworks as it keeps your horses stimulated with something else to focus on. Again, if this isn’t “normal” for them, start earlier than firework nights so they are used to it.

- If you’re really worried your horse needs medical intervention for these nights, we have oral sedatives (relaquine and domosedan) that we can discuss with you. Please remember if we haven’t seen your horse in the last 6 months, or prescribed these drugs to you before, we may require a visit to prescribe them to you so please plan ahead and call our office to arrange this.

A part of XL vets, we as a practice are joining the Redwings Horse sanctuary’s “Keep horses in mind” campaign as they look further into the impact of fireworks on horses. This research aims to encourage the government to review the current regulations around the sales of fireworks. For more details on their research please follow the link below:

https://www.redwings.org.uk/what-we-do/our-campaigning/fireworks-and-horses #:~:text=Keep%20Horses%20In%20Mind&text=As%20part%20of%20the%20Fireworks,people%2C%20wildlife%20and%20the%20environment.

We hope that none of you will need us during firework season and hope you and your horses all remain safe and well, but if you do, we have a vet on call 24/7 to help if you need us.

For further information on oral sedatives for firework season, please contact our office or speak to one of our vets.

Worried your horse could be at risk of laminitis?

With the weather changing, event seasons finishing up and kids going back to school and uni, your horses' exercise may start to decrease this time of year. If your horse is already carrying a few extra pounds from summer, this reduction in exercise along with the recent grass flushes, may be enough to put them at risk of developing laminitis!

Come join us on Monday 7th October to learn more about "tips and tricks" for weight loss with our vets, and more about the science behind laminitis with our guest speaker, and medicine specialist David Rendle MRCVS!

We have been delighted with the interest and response from our clients so far and only have a few places left, so don't delay and register your place with our office today at [email protected]
