With nights drawing in and fireworks season about to start, it’s important to remember that these colourful and loud displays aren’t as enjoyable for our four legged friends.
Here are some tips for helping your horse through the fireworks season:
- keep your horse in a familiar environment and don’t suddenly change their routine.
- Check the environment for any hazards: loose nails, insecure fencing and foreign objects.
- Be aware of when local displays are planned for.
- Check your horse after displays or even stay with them but remember that spooked horses are dangerous.
- If stabling your horse, consider putting a radio on to distract from the noise.
- If you are particularly worried that your horse responds badly to fireworks then contact us and if your horse does come to harm call us at any time on 01872 225599

GASTROSCOPE CLINIC WEDNESDAY 13TH MAY

Last chance! We have a space available at our gastroscope clinic this Wednesday, please ring the office on 01872 22 55 99 if you are interested!

We are scoping at a specially discounted price for gastric health month. If you think your horse might be showing signs of ulcers this is the perfect time to investigate!

🎉 SPECIAL OFFER 🎉

To celebrate gastric health month we are running gastroscope clinics at our practice this May!

We have a limited number of spaces available for gastroscopes at a special discounted price! These are on a first come first served basis so please contact us ASAP.

Gastroscopes are the only way to definitively diagnose gastric ulcers in horses. Ulcers often go undiagnosed, but are very common! Clinical signs include girthiness, behaviour changes and poor performance.
The good news is that ulcers are treatable once we have diagnosed them!

There is the option for a discounted gait analysis to be done on the day as well!
Please ring our office for more information on 01872 22 55 99
