Today is a sad day as we lost our beautiful Nala.
Many of you will have met our precious little puppy in the short time we have been blessed to have enjoyed her company.
She loved everyone and made so many friends everywhere we went.
Our drives around the countryside to see all your horses will be much more quiet and she will be very much missed 😢

🐎Gastroscopy day 5th of March 🐎

Get in touch ASAP to secure your spot!

Would you know if your horse had gastric (stomach) ulcers? Ulcers are extremely common, occurring in between 50-90% of our horses. 🐴🐴🦄🦄

Most horses with gastric ulcers show very few, if any, signs. Clinical signs commonly associated with their presence are: mild colic episodes (especially associated with feeding), dullness, attitude changes, reluctance to train, poor body condition, poor hair coat, and weight loss.

It is important to get an accurate diagnosis when dealing with suspected gastric ulcers by performing a gastroscopy (stomach scope). Without a definitive diagnosis, we may be subjecting our horses to unnecessary medications.

Scoping for ulcers also enables us to make decisions about treatment- we can see which part of the stomach is ulcerated, which influences what treatment and management changes are recommended. Follow up scopes are then also vital to monitor the effectiveness of the medication and when it’s time to stop treatment.
