What a brilliant evening we had yesterday! Anya Dyson and Roisin Wood provided an excellent talk on Laminitis, Horse Welfare and Behavior and how a track system environment can work to support this. We had great discussions on the set up of tracks, the benifits and the difficulties and how these may be overcome. Huge thank you also to Hannah Currier for organising this event and to everyone who attended.

It was great to see everyone coming together and supporting each other.

We saw this idea on Facebook and decided to try it out on our track system. Ellie certainly enjoyed making the different “potions” and the horses have enjoyed investigating. So far they seem most keen on the Limestone Flour and Brewers Yeast.

Spirulina- Is used to support respiratory function and metabolic health. It is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antihistamine

Brewers Yeast- A natural source of vitamin b and amino acids. Also supports the immune system, relaxes and contains prebiotics for digestive health. It is extremely valuable in the diet of stressed and anxious horses and it helps to optimise energy conversion of feed and is beneficial for growing and convalescing horses.

Turmeric- Is an anti-inflammatory and can be offered to help horses who have had or currently have laminitis, arthritis, metabolic syndrome and many other health conditions

Limestone Flour- Limestone flower is used to add calcium to your horses diet it improves muscle function, blood clotting and enzyme function. Limestone Flour plays a vital role in the growth of bones, teeth & hooves.

Pea Protein- High protein powder with an exceptional amino acid profile to support conditioning. Contributes to enhancing condition and topline while facilitating the development of lean muscle mass, all while maintaining a low-calorie, low-sugar, and low-starch composition, making it suitable for horses prone to conditions like EMS and Laminitis.

2X 20ml scoop to 20 liters of water.

EDIT: Please do feel free to share/replicate/display this sign - I’d rather it went out into the world to be used freely and help horses far and wide than if it was just kept on social media!

I seem to spend a lot of time thinking about the ethics of horse sport, and whether we, as an industry, will be able to keep our social licence to operate.

Although we won’t get it right 100% of the time, I think the intent and knowledge behind our actions is a key part of the puzzle.

I have put this sign up on the gate of my arena, in the hope that it reminds me, all my clients and other users of the facilities to stop and think about our intent before embarking upon working our horses each day.

What do you think?

Physio…….what is it and why is it important?

It is something that is often thought of as only important in sport/competition horses. But physio has a multitude of benefits for horses of all shapes and sizes doing a huge range of disciplines.

Physiotherapy and groundwork in your training programme can help to create a supple horse with a strong core, reduce muscle tension and help posture - which in turn can prevent injury in working horses and also keep our oldies mobile.

I love working with our resident and visiting physios to create training and rehab programmes for all sorts of different cases.

Here is Bam Bam demonstrating her stretches ❤️ with her we are focusing on groundwork exercises to help her develop self carriage and increasing flexibility and bend through her huge rib cage - as well as helping keep her comfortable in her muscles as she grows up and her work load increases.

Horses are designed to lose weight through the winter months, but modern management means many will fail to shed some pounds

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
A huge a heartfelt thank you to our lovely livery clients for your support this year! What a year it has been! We’ve enjoyed so much fun with some fantastic rides out together, we’ve shared tears and supported each other through the ups and downs of horse ownership. We welcomed the arrival of another yard baby, Sophie! Shortly followed by a huge storm, where we narrowly escaped the path of the Tornado. 🌪️ Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and we are looking forward to another year of fun together.

🐴 Here are 15 interesting facts about a horse's brain:.
1. A horse’s brain is relatively small compared to the size of its body, and accounts for only about 0.1% of its total weight.
2. Despite their small size, horses have very complex brains, with a highly developed cerebral cortex, the part of the brain responsible for conscious thought, decision-making and memory.
3. Horses can learn and remember complex tasks, such as navigating a jump course or performing a dressage routine, through a process called associate learning.
4. Like humans, horses have a left hemisphere and a right hemisphere in the brain, each with specialized functions. The left hemisphere is responsible for the processing of logical and analytical information, while the right hemisphere is more involved in emotional processing and creative thinking.
5. Horses have a great memory and can remember specific people, places and experiences for many years.
6. Horses can learn by observation, and often they can acquire new behaviors and skills simply by observing other horses or humans.
7. Horses have a very sensitive sense of touch and can detect even the slightest pressure or movement on their skin. This helps them respond to subtle cues from your rider or guide.
8. Horses can process visual information very quickly and accurately, allowing them to avoid potential hazards and navigate their environment with ease.
9. Horses are social animals and rely on nonverbal communication to interact with other horses in their herd. This communication is facilitated by the horse’s brain, which can interpret subtle changes in body language, facial expressions and vocalizations.
10. Ultimately, like all animals, horses have a unique personality and individual traits that are shaped by their experiences, genetics and environment—all of which is reflected in their brain function and behavior.
11. Horses have a very strong sense of smell and their odor bulb, which processes smells, is relatively large compared to other parts of their brain.
12. The brain, which is responsible for coordinating movement and balance, is also relatively large in horses. This is because horses must be able to move quickly and efficiently to escape predators or navigate through difficult terrain.
13. Horses have a very high pain threshold, which is believed to be related to how their brains process pain signals. While this can be beneficial in some situations, it can also mean that horses may not show obvious signs of pain, making it harder for their caregivers to detect and treat underlying health issues.
14. The hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in learning and memory, is particularly well developed in horses.. This allows them to remember not only specific experiences, but also general concepts and patterns that they can apply to new situations.
15. Finally, studies have shown that horses, like other animals, are capable of experiencing emotions such as fear, happiness, and anger. These emotions are believed to be mediated by the limbic system, a group of interconnected brain structures that play a key role in regulating mood and behavior.
