✨ Three lovely horses, all cleaned, checked, and feeling much more comfortable! ✨

Regular sheath cleaning for geldings and stallions, along with udder cleaning and hygiene checks for mares, is an important part of your horse's overall health and wellbeing.

Please don't wait until your horse is showing signs of discomfort or developing problems before arranging an appointment. Routine hygiene care can help prevent issues and ensure your horse stays comfortable.

Always choose a qualified Equine Hygienist who is fully insured and experienced. Professional care ensures your horse is cleaned safely, thoroughly, and checked for any concerns that may require further attention from your veterinarian.

For most horses, this service is only needed once or twice a year, depending on their individual needs. Your hygienist will be able to advise on the most appropriate schedule during your horse's appointment.

If you'd like more information or would like to discuss your horse's needs, please feel free to get in touch.
📅 August appointments are now available. Contact me to book your horse's appointment.

✨ Exciting News! ✨

I'm delighted to announce that I have now achieved my Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Mare Intimate Health.

This is the only UK and worldwide qualification from the Equine Intimate Health Federation & UK Rural Skills, dedicated specifically to mare intimate health, giving you the confidence that your mare is receiving knowledgeable, professional care.

Many horse owners don't realise just how important intimate hygiene is for mares. Regular checks and cleaning can help maintain comfort, hygiene and overall wellbeing. A mare's intimate health is just as important as a gelding's, yet it's often overlooked.
After all, we understand the importance of our own personal hygiene,our mares deserve the same level of care and attention.

What can an Equine Hygienist do?
🐴 Geldings • Thorough sheath clean • Removal of excess sm**ma • Full pe**le clean • Removal of beans • General health check of the area
🐴 Mares • Health check of the mammary glands and removal of sm**ma • Health check of the vulval area • Gentle cleaning and removal of sm**ma • Removal of beans (yes, mares can develop beans too, although they are usually much smaller than those found in geldings)

What an Equine Hygienist CANNOT do.
It's important to understand the role of an Equine Hygienist.
During a health check, if I notice anything unusual or of concern, I will always advise you to contact your veterinarian for further investigation.
I can identify and flag potential concerns, but I cannot diagnose medical conditions.
By law, diagnosis can only be made by a qualified veterinarian.
Any hygienist who provides a diagnosis is working outside their legal scope of practice, which undermines the professionalism and reputation of qualified equine hygienists.

Your horse's health and welfare will always come first. If anything doesn't look quite right, or if you have any concerns, please contact your vet for advice.
By working together with your veterinary team, we can help ensure your horse stays comfortable, healthy and happy. ❤️

Regular equine intimate hygiene checks are an essential part of responsible horse care and should be carried out proactively, not just when a problem arises. Making this a routine element of your horse’s care can help prevent discomfort, health issues, and behavioural changes.

As a professional Equine Hygienist, I am fully trained and hold a Diploma in Equine Intimate Health. I am also correctly insured, giving you peace of mind that your horse is in safe, qualified hands at all times.

Each clean is carried out with patience, care, and sensitivity. Where present, the removal of beans is done gently and with your horse’s welfare as the highest priority. During appointments, I also conduct a thorough health check and will highlight any concerns that may require veterinary referral.

Equine intimate hygiene is a specialised procedure, and it is always advisable to use a trained professional rather than attempting it yourself.
