WORM EGG COUNTS
We are so pleased to have so many clients on board with regular worm egg counting (FWEC)🪱
Performing regular counts allows us to monitor trends in your horse's worm burden and prevents unnecessary ’blanket worming’, therefore reducing the chances of your horse becoming resistant to the drugs we have to deworm them with! 🔬
Results of FWECs, alongside other information about the individual horse and their lifestyle, help to build a risk profile from which treatment and ongoing testing recommendations are made. It can be a minefield, and the aim is to choose the right product, at the right time, for the right horse!

We are very happy to do these counts for you, just a polite reminder to ring ahead if you’re bringing a couple (or more!) in so we can factor in time to get them done while the samples are fresh. Bringing them in during the morning is also very helpful as the fresher the sample the better for our counting!💩🥚

Hot weather!🥵☀️🌡️💦
With the hot weather set to continue for the next few days here’s some tips for keeping your horse cool and comfy:
- keeping your horses in during the heat of the day and turning out overnight🌙
- If they are out in the day ensuring shade is available🕶️
- Ensure plenty of water is always easily accessible💦
- Adding electrolytes or a small amount of apple juice to water can encourage them to drink!🍎
- Evaporative cooling helps reduce body temperature- keep them damp whether that’s with the hose, buckets, the watering can or sponges! No need to sweat scrape, leave the water to evaporate!🧽
- Exercising during the coolest parts of the day or giving them the time off
- Light work such as shaded gentle hacks, or walk work (can include some poles to work on their core!) is most appropriate🐴
If you are worried about your horse please contact us on the office number☎️

Strangles Awareness Week- Vaccination
With many cases in the region, strangles prevention is key, and we’re lucky to have STRANGVAC to aide prevention. Check out this video for lots of information on the vaccine, and we’ll summarise some key points below:
- The primary course is the same timing as flu and tetanus vaccines📆
- The vaccine DOESN’T affect future testing as it doesn’t have a live component🧪
- The vaccine is given intramuscularly💪
- Research has shown vaccinated horses have significantly reduced clinical signs should they become infected, therefore shedding less and reducing the spread!😃
Please contact the office to discuss booking to have your horse vaccinated💉

Strangles Awareness Week - preventing entry and reducing spread⚠️
Keeping Strangles out is the best way to reduce the spread of disease, here’s some ways to help this:
- Isolating new arrivals onto yards for 2 weeks, and testing them before their arrival⚠️
- Taking your own equipment out and about, including water🪣💦
- Vaccinating your horse against Strangles (more on that to come!)💉
- Having foot dips that are regularly refilled on your yard
If you have a positive case further biosecurity steps can help minimise the number of horses affected. These can include:
- Isolating any positive cases😷
- Implementing isolation zones based on horses contact to positive cases (we call it the traffic light system!)🚦
- Separate tools, feed buckets, brushes for affected horses🐴
- Minimise people handling affected horses, deal with them last and change clothes after
- Foot dips outside stables of affected horses🥾

⚠️Strangles Awareness Week- Clinical Signs⚠️

The signs of strangles may be obvious, may be subtle, or may not be noticeable at all! It is important to get to know your own horses ‘normal’, and monitoring things like their temperature regularly can allow quicker identification of any illnesses brewing. Horses can be infectious to others even if they show no signs themselves, but these are some common things to look out for 🔎-

We’re pleased to introduce our Foot Balance X-rays offer🩻

Foot balance X-rays aren’t just for when things go wrong—they allow for early detection of potential issues before they worsen, and can help improve your horse’s comfort and soundness. They also provide your farrier with valuable guidance to refine trimming and shoeing for optimal hoof health and longevity🩰

All horses can benefit, particularly those with:
- Active or historic laminitis
- Recurrent foot abscesses
- Conformational imbalances
- Chronic laminitic changes
- Ongoing or recurrent foot soreness

X-rays can be carried out at your yard or in our clinic. If you are booking three or more horses at the same yard there is no call-out charge.
Many horses can be imaged without sedation. For those that are less comfortable standing on our blocks, sedation can be given💉
Pricing:
- £120 for front feet only (plus call-out/sedation)
- £150 for front and hind feet (plus call-out/sedation)
To book in give the office a ring on 01928787500☎️
