💛 𝐀 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 💛

Life’s been a little rocky lately, and with a lot going on behind the scenes I’ve decided to take a short break from the business.
Life calls for a pause, and this feels like the right time to step back, catch my breath, and reset.

All existing bookings will still be going ahead as planned, so no need to worry if you’re already in the diary, those I have promised a date to, I will still get round to you.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s the right one for now
Thank you so much for your continued support, patience and understanding. It means the world to me.

I’ll be back 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 soon

𝐈’𝐦 𝐛𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐜𝐤 ☀️😎

It’s been a bit quiet on here while I was away enjoying some time in beautiful Cornwall. I’ll be working through messages over the next couple of days and will be in touch soon with times and dates for those who have booked.

I didn’t manage to get back in the saddle on hols this year so sharing a photo of me riding from last year, but the sea air, pasties and a few too many cakes certainly made up for it🐴☀️🌊

Thanks for your patience, and I’ll be back in full swing very soon!

It’s the last day of this year’s Strangles Awareness Week!

With hundreds of Ambassadors posting content and reaching literally hundreds of thousands of people both on and offline, we really hope it’s been the BEST week for protecting horses from Strangles!

A huge thank you to everyone who has posted, shared, interacted and commented to ensure we are spreading the word, not the disease.

Don’t forget to give your own horse(s) the very BEST protection and encourage others to do the same.

Using the BEST steps significantly reduces the risk of Strangles, but outbreaks can still happen to anyone. Watch our short film to discover how one yard smashed Strangles and turned their experience into a positive for their liveries and their yard’s reputation.

If you suspect or know your horse has Strangles, remember that you’re not alone. Work with your vet and other affected owners and reach out to people who may have been through an outbreak themselves and understand some of the challenges you might be facing.

No one chooses Strangles, but we can choose how to respond. Watch our short film showing how everyone at Ivesley Equestrian came together in the face of a St...

It’s hard to overestimate the value of keeping an eye on your horse’s temperature. Find
out just how much of a difference temp checking can make by sliding right below!

By making temp checking part of your routine, not only will you and your horse be used
to the process, you’ll know what is normal for your horse as an individual (it does vary!)
Spotting a health problem early gives you the BEST chance to get on top of it, and, in the case of Strangles, catching infection when the horse first develops fever often means you can contain the disease before it has the chance to spread!

It’s Day 4 of Strangles Awareness Week and we’re looking at how to SEPARATE horses
when needed to stop Strangles spreading.

It may be easier than you think, especially as Strangles is not an airborne disease!
when needed to stop Strangles from spreading.

We’re looking at how to SEPARATE horses. This may be because a horse has just arrived on the yard, has developed an unexplained snotty nose, or has been in contact with a possible source of infection.

No one regrets taking precautions when it comes to infectious disease. But many
people regret not taking steps to reduce the chance of Strangles spreading freely on
their yard.

You're already making a difference by being part of Strangles Awareness Week! 🙌

Strangles is one of the most misunderstood horse health issues out there—surrounded by myths and misinformation. But knowledge is power 💪

Cutting through the confusion and getting the facts is the BEST way to protect your horse and know how to deal with an outbreak if you are ever
affected.

Accurate information also helps us to recognise that Strangles can happen to any horse and all those dealing with the infection deserve understanding and support.

Meet Indigo and his loaner Ellen as we look at how we can BOOST horses’ immunity to
Strangles with vaccination.

Hackney-cross Indigo will be out and about this summer as he turns his hoof to dressage, and Ellen is keen to ensure they can enjoy local events together without increasing the risk of Indigo picking up a disease like Strangles.

Ellen wanted to share their experience of Indigo’s first vaccination as part of raising
awareness of this important new tool in our ability to prevent the spread of disease.
