🪰Flies - horses & farriers hate them!

It's unfair to ask a horse to stand still for shoeing as it's being eaten alive by flies. You can hardly blame them. The last thing we want is to turn shoeing into a negative & stressful experience.

For farriers, it's incredibly frustrating trying to do your best work on a half-ton moving target.
It can make it hard to pick up on any 'out of the ordinary' behaviours for your horse which are often early warning signs of pain.
A restless horse that snatches & jumps (not to mention the famous tail swish to the eye!) also HURTS.

Do:
✅ Apply fly repellent liberally! Pay extra attention to their legs.
✅ Use a well-fitting fly rug
✅ Acclimatise your horse to a portable fan (midges can't tolerate 7mph+ winds!)
✅ Use a cloth to apply or gels if your horse is afraid of sprays
✅ Manage the environment - set up fly traps and keep your shoeing area away from standing water & muck piles

Don't:
❌ Spray whilst your farrier is underneath the horse
❌ Leave fly masks on - often this can inhibit a horse’s visibility & increase chances of spooking
❌ Book an appointment at a peak pest times
❌ Dress your horse in dark colours or leave them sweaty as this attracts horse flies

PM, WhatsApp, text, call or email to arrange your 2023 bookings. 📔

Ok so now is the time to let you all know…….I’m heading back to work in the new year. I can’t wait, I’ve missed it so much.🔨🐴
Likely to be 3 days a week due to childcare constraints to start with and ideally grouping together similar areas on days. For example Corfe Mullen and Wimborne on a Tuesday if possible. There’ll be teething pains becoming a working Mum no doubt so please bear with me and I’ll try my best to provide the best service possible.
I must thanks my ladies in waiting for looking after our wonderful Alfie🤗
Feel free to share and I shall also message people that may not be on Facebook too.
Many thanks. ☺️

Here is the first customer to enjoy an equissage treat.
This is Finn and he’s an ideal candidate. At his stage of life unfortunately he is meticulously managed for EMS and osteoarthritis. This limits his turnout resulting in a compromised lymphatic system.
Enjoy little fella. 💆🏼
