Just loving all the Christmas-y photos!

Norbu here is (successfully) negotiating treats, before settling in for some laser for her arthritis and HD

More than one photo this week, I might make a habit of actually getting around to taking and posting pictures yet!

This happy "little" pup is Truffle, who is getting her post FCE laser treatment here, and is making excellent progress!

When this little cutie parks himself in front of the tree and poses, you just have to take a quick snap. It's the rules!

Good morning folks!

Unfortunately, I am being completely hounded by the fake calls from UK numbers. I'm getting multiple a day and it's eating into my work hours, so I've stopped answering.

With that in mind, if anyone is ringing from Northern Ireland and I don't already have your number saved, please leave a message after the call. Or give me a text or message on any of the social medias.
Hopefully this nonsense stops soon so we can get back to regular service.

Horses are large, powerful animals and, if they have cause for alarm, their instinct is to move away quickly.

Speeding cars, engines being revved, loud music or horns being blasted, any of these can easily startle horses.

As road users, understanding what to do when you meet a horse on the road is crucial.

If you encounter a horse when you're behind the wheel, slow down to no more than 10mph, keep your distance and prepare to stop.

Avoid any actions that may startle the horse.
Watch out for signals from the rider and, when it's safe to do so, pass the rider with at least 2m room, at least a car’s width.

Riders should ensure they are clearly seen and wear hi-visibility clothing. Lights can also be useful to highlight your presence. Use the appropriate hand signals to make other road users aware of your intentions to manoeuvre.

To all road users, slow down and play your part in keeping everyone who uses the roads safe.

If a collision occurs it can have devastating consequences.

Sleep well Blueberry and Uti, two of the greatest horses of our generation.

It is with immense sadness that we have said goodbye to Valegro and Uthopia and without question, this is a loss that just feels hard to comprehend.

Trying to write a tribute to these two horses feels harder than I imagined. The yard just doesn’t feel the same without them, there’s an emptiness in the air.

Valegro and Uthopia did more than win medals and write history, they gave our sport a golden era. They both showed that greatness can be gentle, sensitive and harmonious and they made a nation proud and inspired so many.

Being part of their journey will always remain one of my proudest achievements and the whole team and myself are deeply grateful for the joy they gave to us at home but also to their fans around the world.

Their entire lives ran in parallel; they travelled to the shows side by side, lived in neighbouring stables, grazed in the same fields and retired together. Their bond and companionship were absolute.

As life as old boys advanced, so too did the health challenges, so allowing them to leave this world together was the final act of loyalty and dignity I felt I could give them, honouring a partnership that had never been separated in life.

They leave behind a huge void, and the yard has changed forever and so have we. They were our family and I will love and miss them always. The impact they had will remain but sadly, we don’t get to keep horses forever.
We only get to carry what they leave inside us. And these two left us so much.

We are finally getting our floors in the new reception area over the next few days and at times clients will be asked to come in through a side entrance. There may be some slight delays in medication dispensing and providing prescriptions.
Our reception staff will be doing their best under difficult circumstances so we appreciate your patience over the next few days.
