Wedding season! 👰‍♀️ 🤵 💒 Got to spend time with this fabulous girl while mum and dad got married. She's been quite poorly over the last 6 months or so and undergoing chemo which made it really nice to spend some time with her, keeping her company. ❤️

She may not be able to walk that far anymore but 👸 🎃 loved her sniffy walks last week while her regular walker was away. Struck lucky with the weather being warm but not too hot for her.

🌼Ragwort extremist groups🌼

The amount of photos shared on social media with equines grazing amongst ragwort is disgraceful. The groups encouraging people to leave it, are even worse. There is this “safety” blanket that people believe their equine will not eat ragwort unless it is is hay.

Now, it is true that ragwort is bitter when growing, however in overgrazed paddocks equines will begin to eat things they otherwise would do their best to avoid. When ragwort rosettes numbers are high, but their growth is at ground level, it makes it very difficult to equines to try and eat the grass around them without ultimately consuming some ragwort too!

Below you can see the number of confirmed ragwort poisonings in the UK over the last three years. Note - the highest numbers tend to be when ragwort is growing (and closest to ground level) and when people are least likely to be feeding hay.

Now this could be chronic accumulation from winter hay showing the poisoning effects during the summer and spring months, however look at Q2 2024!!!! We have all been commenting on how bad the ragwort is this year. Q2 2024 (April - June) has seen the highest number of ragwort poisonings than has been seen over the last three years (almost twice as many as the same time last year). I would argue that the pattern below looks like acute ragwort poisoning from ground level rosettes, rather than chronic.

Q2 2024: 14 confirmed poisonings
Q1 2024: 2 confirmed poisonings

Q4 2023: 4 confirmed poisonings
Q3 2023: 2 confirmed poisonings
Q2 2023: 8 confirmed poisonings
Q1 2023: 2 confirmed poisonings

Q4 2022: 1 confirmed poisonings
Q3 2022: 4 confirmed poisonings
Q2 2022: 4 confirmed poisonings
Q1 2022: 1 confirmed poisonings

Please don’t leave it, dig it up.

Please share for the extremist Dunning Krugers.

Oh and especially for those that think “I made the numbers up” here’s the Equine Disease Surveillance Network!

Would anyone be interested in adopting these three goofballs together?😻😻😻 We know it's a lot to ask but they do SO well together and figured it was worth a shot! 🤷‍♀️ They are ridiculously sweet.

Interested parties with pure bred experience recommended!

A hot 🥵 weekend looking after these quirky show jumpers. A couple are retired but can still strut their stuff. Chaos caused by hay being cut, tedded and baled close by but out of sight when bringing in 👻 👺 😈🎆🎇🧨

This tracked field was one of the worst I saw over the wet wet winter as it's at the bottom of a steep hill. Harrowed really well and it's back to perfect. The Horse Nanny
