Sleep well Your Majesty 🖤

There is a place that you go,
No matter what you believe,
While all those who love you,
Take time to grieve.

The sweet smell of hay,
And the greenest of grass,
Gentle soft muzzles,
A place time doesn’t pass.

Your loss will be felt,
But we’ll take comfort and know,
The day that you left,
We knew where you’d go.

Reunited with loved ones,
No more to depend,
Reins in one hand,
Your ride never ends.

While we all mourn,
While we’ve lost someone great,
We know that so many,
Wait for you at the gate.

Thank you, your majesty,
For all that you’ve done,
Gather up the reins now,
It’s your time to ride on.

HEATWAVE IN THE UK

Extreme weather is upon us. Horses are very prone to overheating. On strenuous exercise their body temperatures can become severely hyperthermic – over 41 degrees Celsius. This can be dangerous – and can even cause collapse and death. They are big creatures with a low surface area: volume ratio, so they find it hard to loose heat. Sweating is their main way of cooling down: as the fluid evaporates it draws latent heat of vaporisation from its surroundings. Cooling them down, using copious buckets of water or hosing all over is very effective. If hot after exercise on a hot day, use plenty of water, and more again. Many horses will now be out at night, in during the day, primarily to avoid flies. But, in this extreme heat, some types of stables can get very hot indeed ,especially in the afternoon, however if they are in a field this should have plenty of shade. Taking their temperature is worth considering doing.
Curtailing strenuous activities in the heat of the day too: Good luck and stay safe!

Here are some tips on how to avoid your horse getting heat stroke:

- Horses in work should be kept as cool as possible before, during and after ridden work
- Exercising your horse should be done during cooler times, so early in the morning or late in the evening
- Make sure you cool down your horse by hosing them down, using copious buckets of water or hosing all over is very effective. If hot after exercise on a hot day, use plenty of water, and more again.

Signs of heatstroke:

Weakness
- Increased temperature (normal temperature should be 37.5-38.5°C)
- High respiratory and heart rate (normal respiration rate should be 12-16 breaths per minute/normal heart rate should be 30-45 beats per minute)
- Lethargy
- Dehydration
- Dry mucous membranes in the mouth -they should be a pink salmon colour and have a slimy feel to them

If you are worried your horse may be showing signs of heat stroke then please to not hesitate to call us on 01306 628222.
