Thank you to the lovely client that nominated Chloe for a PetPlan Veterinary Award!

Chloe looks after all the horses and farm animals that come into Kenwyn, normally with an extra helping of cuddles. She takes responsibility for their day-to-day care and ensures they are as comfortable as they can be whilst they stay with us. She also joins us on the road to assist with procedures where we need an extra set of hands. On top of all that, she keeps the practice clean, answers the phones, does so much laundry and ensures that the vets have everything they need!

She's a little superwoman and we're so proud of her nomination!

☀ Summer ☀

It's beautiful weather and obviously we want to enjoy it with our horses. However, it is really important to consider the heat and the effect it has on our horses.
Heat stroke in horses can present with profuse sweating, high temperatures, lethargy, reluctance to work, muscle tremors, staggering, collapse and sometime colic signs.
If you see these signs: move the horse into the shade, start cold hosing and scraping off the water and offer some cool water to drink (no more than a bucket). If you're still concerned, contact us!

To avoid heatstroke:
- Ensure access to fresh water at all times.
- Ensure there is shade in the field.
- Ride in early morning or late evening, never in the heat of the day.
- Avoid rugging and consider clipping thick coated ponies.
- Avoid travelling where possible, especially long journeys.
- Horses particularly susceptible to heat stroke are young, old and overweight or have concurrent illness.

We are always here to chat if you have concerns regarding heat stroke or horse husbandry.

Hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather ☀️
Remember that shade and fresh water is essential for our equine friends in the summer!
