🩻 as promised, here are the X-rays from the very lucky pony who stood on the metal object. Any idea what it is❓

Thankfully no important structures were damaged and after a few days treatment, this pony was back having fun 🐎

X-rays give us valuable information with these penetrating objects so please, please leave them in place and call us straight away ☎️

If you don’t have our number saved in your phone, maybe do that now! You never know when you might need us in an emergency - hopefully not 🤞

🫏🩶 Yesterday, Charlie & Julie were fortunate to be involved in a small group behaviour training session with Kayna Prescott Clinical Animal Behaviourist - Brighter Equines at The Flicka Foundation Donkey Sanctuary.

It was amazing to see such positive steps in the behaviour of some nervous, rescue donkeys and mules in such a short space of time using specialist techniques. 👏🫏👏

If we take time to observe our animals and listen to what they are telling us, suddenly it all makes sense! 🩶🫏

🌎🌱🐴 keen to learn about how we can keep our horses, ponies & donkeys in a way that is kind to the environment?

👀🌳 we’ve had quite a few traumatic eye injuries recently 🙈 possibly as grass gets tight, horses and ponies are browsing more in hedges or feeding from ring feeders????

Just a little reminder that if your horse presents with a sore or swollen eye, it’s best to get in touch with us asap for advice as we know that if treated promptly many cases will go on to heal very well 🤞🙏

🦟🦟 LAST CALL FOR INSOL!! 💉💉

In preparation for sweet itch season (which now feels like all year round 🤦🏻‍♀️), we will shortly be ordering our stock of the Insol vaccine.

Beccy should have been in touch if you have already used or expressed an interest in Insol but if anyone has slipped through the net, please can you make contact by Monday 20th Jan 🙏

If you have a horse, pony or donkey who suffers with sweet itch and would like to discuss if Insol may help, please ring or drop us a message 📞☎️

❄️🪱 Winter worming reminder 📣

This lovely cold snap might be the best frost we get this year to kill off some worm eggs on our paddocks 🥶🪱

So this is a little nudge that if you haven’t already bought (or thought about!) your horse, pony or donkeys winter worm treatment then now is a good time to do so 🤗

If you are not sure what to do, please just give us a shout xx

🌱🥕 anyone else’s animals enjoying some festive veggie treats?! 🐓🐴🐑

😝🫏🤪 wishing everyone a tongue waggling weekend full of festive fun!! 🎄😝😋

💨💨 hope everyone and their 4 legged friends are doing ok after the storm ? 🤞 Just to let you know that we are happy to take requests for repeat medications and appointments by email or WhatsApp (01872 218802) if it’s easier than giving us a call 📞

🎄✏️ Julie is beavering away trying to come up with something interesting for her talk on Thursday night!! We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Griggs Equestrian, remember to come early if you would like to do some Christmas shopping 🛍️ 🍷🍎🧁Mulled wine, apple juice & mince pies will be served & we’ll hopefully commence talks at 7.30pm. Remember to wear your Christmas jumpers!!! 😂🎄🎅 If you have booked a place and can no longer make it, please can you let us know asap as we have lots of people on the waiting list who would love to have your seat! 🙏

🌘🌗 it can be hard owning horses at this time of year, particularly if you only get to see them in the dark 🙈🔦 If you get 5 minutes spare over the weekend, may we suggest you pause for a bit, give them a brush or a hug and enjoy time with them. We can guarantee it will brighten your day & strengthen your relationship. 💕 If you are lucky enough to have a comedy horse like lovely Christina in the video, you’ll also have a good giggle or 3!! 😂🤣😂 SOUND ON!!

⏰💤 Hope everyone has enjoyed the extra hour in bed, the conservation ponies certainly have!! 🤣🤣 Congratulations to Janet Elston the winner of our First Aid kit & chocolates from the Mole Valley Equestrian event yesterday. 👏⛑️🍫 It was lovely to see everyone 😀

🥁🥁🥁….. and the winner of our limited edition baseball cap & bottle of fizz from the Griggs Equestrian Feed & Equestrian day is……..📣🤩 Isabelle, friend of our lovely client Veryan Willcock! Congratulations!!! 🎉🍾 Lovely to see everyone yesterday, we look forward to catching up with more faces old & new at the Mole Valley open day next weekend! Xx

Blackberries - yum yum! 😋 Anyone know the old saying ‘No horse looks good at blackberry time!’ ? 🤔Well, we actually think Bianca looks great enjoying her little snack! 😍💕Does your horse love to browse the hedges too?!

🤠🧘 if you do one thing with your horse this weekend, make it a rein-back…or 3! Recent studies have demonstrated the true benefits of this exercise in lifting the horses back which is hugely beneficial to strengthening both their back and core muscles 📖📚 So easy to do, ideally in hand or whilst long reining as demonstrated in the video. Very helpful as part of a physiotherapy rehab programme but also to warm the muscles of your horses back before you get on. Challenge set! Let’s see your videos this weekend 🤣

🐴😋 Nom nom! Recommendations needed for local caterers that may be able to help us with some yummy nibbles or canapés for our upcoming birthday celebrations? 😋🍾 more details coming very soon.. 🥳🎉
