Meet Reaper, been knocking on deaths door for a few days, however I think we're safe to introduce you now. Reaper didn't manage to get any colostrum off his mummy, it's been touch and go to get him eating and pooing properly but I think we got this now.

Poultry and other captive birds can be let outside from 2nd May 2022 unless you are within a 3 km Protection Zone. But there are some vital preparations you must make before you let your birds out. See our press notice for full details https://www.gov.uk/government/news/bird-flu-latest-situation-avian-influenza-prevention-zone-declared-across-great-britain

You can check if you fall within a 3 km Protection Zone by visiting our interactive map and entering your postcode. https://defra.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=8cb1883eda5547c6b91b5d5e6aeba90d

If you fall within a 3 km Protection Zone birds must remain housed.

Although the requirement to house your birds is ending for most keepers, the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone remains in place. This means you must continue to practise strong biosecurity, as there is still a risk your birds could catch .

A little while ago, both these boys were fearful and reactive to other dogs, just look at them now!

When working with dog aggression, socialisation and fear based behaviours, it's super important you find yourself a QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED AND WELFARE FRIENDLY trainer to help you and your dog. Negative handling techniques such as the use of choke chains, usually makes these issues worse!

If you are having aggression or socialisation issues, especially with LARGE BREED DOGS, please give me a message. Degree qualified since 2008 and lots and lots of references from owners and professional bodies, I also have a private training field to keep your dog safe and focused.

Give me a message to discuss your dogs training needs further. Limited spaces available on a Monday and Thursday.

This is going to be amazing for biodiversity!

Mexico plans to phase out Monsanto’s corn imports, replace with local, heirloom varieties by 2024 In addition to banning Monsanto/Bayer’s cancer-causing Roundup herbicide by 2024, Mexico is now pledging to rid the country of GMO corn by the same date. To do so, it plans to gradually replace 16 m...

This is great news!!!!!

⭐⭐ Forthcoming Changes to the UK Highway Code ⭐⭐

🐴 Those of us who regularly ride our horses on the roads in the UK will doubtless be familiar with advice presented in the Highway Code, which guides how road users are to behave. Following a lengthy public consultation process, the Government is shortly to make significant changes to the Highway Code that fundamentally affect the status of many road users, including horse riders, and of how they are to be treated in the eyes of the law.

🐴 For the first time the Highway Code will establish a specific ‘hierarchy of road users’ with an order of priority given as: pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders, cars, vans, large passenger vehicles and then heavy good vehicles. The aim being to ensure that those road users who can do the greatest harm have the greatest responsibility to reduce the danger or threat they might pose to others.

🐴 Specific changes affecting horse riders include establishing guidance on safe passing distances and speeds when overtaking horse riders. Specifically; when overtaking a horse rider (or horse drawn vehicle) you must give at least as much room as you would when overtaking a car. As a driver, you must also take extra care and give more space when overtaking horse riders or horse drawn vehicles in bad weather (including high winds) and at night.

🐴 Guidance when overtaking horse riders and horse drawn vehicles includes: leaving a minimum distance of 2 metres; passing at speeds under 15mph; and further, that one should wait behind a horse rider or horse drawn vehicle if it is not safe to overtake and not possible to meet the above guidance. Do not push through or past a horse; horses are sentient beings who can be unpredictable.

🐴 The Government website (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/review-of-the-highway-code-to-improve-road-safety-for-cyclists-pedestrians-and-horse-riders) has a great deal more information on the changes, which make interesting reading and will hopefully make our roads safer for all.

Attended a lovely 9th birthday party this weekend, the birthday girl asked for a petting zoo, of course I was delighted to be able to introduce them to lots of different animals and we chatted about welfare and behaviour.

True story, I will actually be guest training on Thursdays and Monday mornings running socialising classes for lockdown dogs. Please message Spring Rise Canine Care Services directly to book.

I love it here and I get to see loads of dogs from daycare that I've missed for the past year. Happy, lucky me 😃

Racing ban given for NOT using a whip! Im very glad this jockey has given the racing industry the media attention needed to highlight the absurdity of this supposed 'sport'.

John Gosden has defended Robert Havlin who received a 21-day ban following his controversial ride aboard Stowell who finished an eye-catching second at Lingfiel
