Everyone who has a horse who is registered with the FEI needs to be ultra aware of this new requirement for all vaccinations 💉

💉FEI VACCINE CHANGES
ℹ️The FEI have introduced a new requirement this year for the recording of Influenza vaccinations. After 3rd February, ALL FEI registered horses need to have their vaccinations recorded on the FEI HorseApp at the time of vaccination by your vet when they attend the horse.

To make this process as easy as it can be, please could you ensure that:

1) The Passport is present at the time of vaccination

2) If you are the Athlete, Groom, Owner or Trainer (or all of the above!), please could you enter the previous vaccinations onto the HorseApp prior to your vaccination date. This will save considerable time for when the first vaccination is given and recorded after 3/2/25.

ℹ️This is a link for how to go about entering the ‘historical’ vaccinations: https://howto.fei.org/content/5/311/en/how-to-add-a-new-vaccination-and-use-the-fei-horseapp-during-the-vaccination-process.html

3) Please also remove rugs prior to vaccination as it may be necessary to photograph both sides of the horse to confirm identification.

If you have any questions please just ask.

It’s been a really busy month for me, but January also means it is time for me to renew my professional insurances, review my health and safety policy, risk assessments and my membership status. Each of these important elements gives me the confidence to continue to provide the highest level of service.

🌟This is what makes me stand out from others

🌟This is what gives my clients the confidence and reassurance to use me.

👇These pieces of paper👇and policies are SO important to have, and to me, I won’t work without having them.

Has your horse or pony ever had laminitis?

Horse owners and carers - we're inviting you to take part in our survey investigating approaches to treatment and rehabilitation of laminitis in horses and ponies. The study is being undertaken by undergraduate student Meg as part of her University of Liverpool veterinary degree. As every case of laminitis is different, we are keen to hear about your experiences of laminitis and its management. If you would like to participate (the questionnaire is completely anonymous), please click on the link below or scan the QR code in the image and read through the information sheet before completing the online survey.

Survey link: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/liverpool/approaches-to-treatment-and-rehabilitation-of-laminitis

Thank you in advance for participating - it really helps improve our understanding of this important area of equine health.

Are you planning your final clip of the season? ✂️

⏳ While we all want our horses relaxed during clipping, sometimes administering a sedative is unavoidable. If that's the case, careful timing of treatment is essential if you're planning to compete him soon afterwards.

🚫 Acepromazine, the active ingredient in products such as Sedalin and Relaquine, is a prohibited substance in competition with a detection time of at least 72 hours. To reduce the risk of your horse testing positive, ensure to leave a generous safety margin between treatment and competition.

💬 If you have questions about detection and withdrawal times of any drugs that your horse has been prescribed, talk to your vet.

Clean sport rules apply at all levels of competition, from grassroots to elite. For more information about equine anti-doping 👉 https://bit.ly/CleanSport_Equine
