East Anglian Equine Sheath Cleaning

19/08/2025

Hello, I've had a few messages lately from previous customers asking if I'm still working, so I thought I'd better pop a post up - yes, I am!!

I've got such a lovely regular customer base now, who also bring me new customers through word of mouth recommendations, I don't need to post online really. But I wouldn't want anyone to think I'd given up, so here I am!

I am currently booking about 6 to 8 weeks ahead, which is normal for me through the summer. I have a few spare slots sooner, but they would be limited to single horses or small groups, and would need to be in the areas I'm already heading to on those days.

If you do need to book in, please pop me a message and I'll let you know when I can come.

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer so far. I know I'm appreciating the slight drop in temperature this week as the intense heat is not my favourite type of weather 🥵

I'd like to wish all my customers and their beautiful horses a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

I'm not working again until January, hoping to spend half my time cuddled up at home with Tilly on my lap (as pictured!), and the rest of the time at the stables!

It's been a busy year, for which I am very grateful. But now it's time to recharge and re-energize, ready to leap into 2025.

If you're thinking about booking in, please feel free to message me during the 'limbo' period. I have some availability still in January, and more into February.

I hope you all have a peaceful, relaxing and happy Christmas and new year, Christine x

A useful link below from the British Equine Hygienists Association for anyone thinking of booking a sheath cleaner (regardless of who that may be!).

All Equine Hygienists should use clean water and new cloths and gloves for every horse to avoid cross contamination, and only use the mildest water based lubricant to protect the natural bacteria biome of the sheath.

If a sheath cleaner does not follow these basic practices, please don't let them proceed!

The sheath is an area of the horse that even the most experienced equestrians are unfamiliar with.  Lack of knowledge can make it tricky for you to know if your sheath cleaner is reputable or not.   This guide sets out Good        and Bad        practice.    Working together with vets a...

Just wanted to pop a post up to say I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and let you know I'm still here, still sheath cleaning, just extremely busy! I have been booking about 6 weeks ahead for most of the summer, and am still running at about that much of a wait currently.

I also had quite a whopper of a bean last week which was definitely worthy of sharing! One boy who will certainly be feeling a lot better now 💙

If you are located anywhere around this area and would be interested in booking a sheath clean, I can visit for a reduction on the normal travel charge.

Please message me with your yard postcode and approximate number of horses for further details. Thank you, Christine 🙂

Now at the end of a busy week, feeling quite tired, but happy that lots of horses are feeling better!

Earlier this week I attended another training event organised by Equine Hygienists Association. A really useful session with lots of discussion about abnormalities of the sheath. It's always really interesting to see pictures and hear about real life case studies.

Being part of BEHA really is invaluable. A big thank you to them for organising this week's session 😃

I had a message recently from a regular customer who has her horses' sheaths cleaned twice a year. She had just added a new boy to the family and had concerns about a lump she had seen on the tip of his p***s. I went out yesterday and found he had a rather large bean in the tip. The lump she could see was the black nobble of the bean protruding from the end, just above the urethra.
Bean removed, sheath fully cleaned and thankfully no abnormalities found; just one lucky boy who is now with a lady who is really on the ball and spotted his issue! 😃

Have you ever considered having your horse's sheath cleaned? There are various reasons for cleaning occasionally as listed on the image.

Sheath cleaning is becoming more mainstream as part of the routine maintenance of horses, along with things like dentistry, physio, saddle fitting and farriery, which is a real positive for horse welfare.

I am a BEHA approved professional sheath cleaner, which means by booking my service you will be booking a professional who works to a very high standard of cleanliness, with the walfare of all horses as my top priority.

Please visit the BEHA website to find out more about the code of practice all the sheath cleaning members adhere to. www.beha.org.uk

If you'd like to find out more about my service and check availability please message me via my page (East Anglian Equine Sheath Cleaning), or WhatsApp/SMS/call 07885 535887.

I cover all of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, and most of Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Looking forward to seeing you all in 2024! Christine 🙂
