Interesting series about hirudotherapy (leeches) for horses!

**𝗘𝘀𝗽𝗮ñ𝗼𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗷𝗼**⁣
In the first part of the series on hirudotherapy, “Organic Little Pharmacies: Leeches for Horses,” Martsje Bergsma of SensaHorse explained the ways in which leeches can help solve several common problems and conditions in equines. For the second installment, Bergsma and HorseGrooms dive into the details on how leeches actually work their magic, what to expect during and after a hirudotherapy appointment and the FEI’s stance on the slimy creatures.⁣

Interesting read...

The movement of a horse's organs impacts its overall well-being, and a lack of movement can cause many health risks, including colic.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Although mental health is an important topic for everyone involved in the horse industry, what has become abundantly clear over the past years is that veterinarians are getting hit the hardest. The su***de rate among veterinarians is extremely high.

As a vet-tech and former groom, Laura Elser talks about how we can collaborate better with our veterinarians, make their life a little less stressful (while still getting the best care for our horses), and not add more strain to a fast-paced and demanding work environment.

Sometimes the most special moments happen outside the ring, like the special in-between moments with just you and your horse

02/21/2023

So beautifully stated!
What an amazing partnership they shared, I thoroughly enjoyed watching them dance together.❤️💃🏼

Here’s wishing a magnificent horse a peaceful retirement and an amazing rider great success in the future.

A new chapter begins for a horse of a lifetime...

Since our wonderful Sanceo was just three years old, he has given everything he can to all that is asked of him; always inspiring us and always giving 100% to anything put in his way....and it's because of this, we have made the decision to retire him from competitive sport.

We have learned so much together and he has always been there for me, and I keep this in my heart as we make this difficult but also exciting decision to let him finish his performance career on a high, with happiness, memories, and while he is in good health.

I will always cherish the unbreakable bond that led us to achieving our goals, through to his big finale in Tokyo. Sanceo will continue to be adored in this next chapter of his life with his owners,
Alice Womble-Heitmann and Dr. Mike Heitmann on their breathtaking Ranch in Hempstead, Texas, where they have welcomed his return home.

Walking into the barn every day without his cheerful face will take a little getting used to, but I know in my heart this is the best decision for him and what we owe him .
In these past three months together, we have just enjoyed each other's company, as I reflected on the journey that we have been on and how special this horse has been to me and my life. His kindness and intelligence has still shone through each day; still fascinating me and inspiring me.
We had such a strong partnership and together with his perfectionist mind and his incredible talent, we have made memories that will last a lifetime.

I want to take this opportunity to thank his wonderful owners, Alice and Mike, as I was so fortunate to have shared Sanceo’s journey with them . They have always made me feel like Sanceo was also my horse, going as far as to say that I could keep him with me here in California.
But a retirement with them, on their beautiful 1000 acre Ranch just feels right for our one in a million. They have such love for the sport, but Sanceo’s happiness has always come first and I'm so grateful for their belief in us and their friendship through these wonderful years.
His legacy will continue through his breeding duties, as he spends this next chapter of his life on the Ranch; a scene so special and fitting for our beautiful boy.

He will always have a very special place in my heart and I look forward to many more visits with him ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our journey has been a team effort so I take pride in dedicating another post in the future to the amazing team behind us ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
