Yesterday, One of our full livery’s Caroline & Jeramiah James ( JJ ) competed at their first BD event at our local venue Duchy after 12 long months. JJ was an absolute superstar, on top form. They came away with a 2nd and 4th with an impressive 68% in their test!
Its not been smooth sailing for this combination over the last year, here’s why:

JJ had a hindlimb suspensory injury in January if this year resulting in months off of work, regular physio sessions and visits from the vet. 😢
JJ also needed his hocks injecting with steroids to support the suspensory ligaments however, a routine blood test showed JJ has high blood glucose levels meaning he would be more prone to laminitis, JJ went on a course of EMS medications to bring the blood glucose levels down which were unsuccessful, the vet continued and injected his hocks meaning JJs owner and the yard staff were on high alert watching for signs of laminitis, but luckily JJ recovered from these well and was able to begin schooling and strengthening work in July.

And from there, it’s only been up. I think they’ve both enjoyed grasping a routine again- and finding the love💕 a

🐴Rugging🐴
This time of year, it’s so important you don’t under/over rug your horses.
This chart is a great guide to ensuring your horse is comfortable and maintaining a suitable temperature over night/during the depths of winter.

What we have been up to lately:
• The horses, who we like to call ‘The golden oldies’ Tundra and B, have been enjoying grazing down the winter fields, safe to say they’ve put on heaps of weight😂
• Also, we’ve been installing new turnout pens which have been posted previous! All the horses love it.
• Finally, the school has been having weekly harrows with the Tractor, as the quad wasn’t quite doing the job, we want the best for our horses and livery’s, so that’s what they shall receive. 🐴🐴

🎊New And Improved!🎊
We have recently added some more turnout pens, to replace the ‘ol and shabby’ ones that existed. Now, instead of Electric fence, we have Post&Rail! No body can escape with ease now😅
So thrilled with the amazing Team here at Long Orchard 👏🐎

Today, one of our many amazing liveries, Regan- took her horse Autumn Equinox aka Barney to Duchy College Equine Events to compete in the prelim x2. This is their first competition in 5months, we explain why now:

Both regan and Barney have been through ‘hell and back’ the last 8months. Barney had 5 trips to the vet( western counties + B&W ) as he sadly started to show signs of HeadShaking during the spring months. Barney underwent 3 PENS therapy treatments, 2 steroid treatments(back + hocks.) which as you can imagine took a huge toll on the combination.
Barney was off work for 4 months, so his fitness was not on top form and this was hard for the Ex racehorse to adapt to.

Once given the all clear to give Barney a job to do, Regan spent 6weeks+ doing inhand work and this was a spark to their ‘road to recovery.’ Barney faced poles and all sorts of challenging exercises that he wouldn’t face day to day ordinarily. He learnt something new everyday.

Now they’ve spent 2months+ on rehab rides to get Barney back to peak fitness and competing level, they can both start enjoying what they love again- and although there’s still some challenges they face, they come at them with all they’ve got.

Regardless of the result, she’s always so proud, and I think that just speaks for itself.

A word we think you can take from this, enjoy every moment- don’t take a day for granted with your horse! This was not a smooth ride for either horse or rider and there was certainly ups and downs. As a yard, we gave all our support possible and 15% of this has helped these two get back on their dancing feet 💃
