Spooky Season at Frome Equine Vets 🎃👻

21/10/2026

We’d like to introduce you all to our new Vet Tech Alice Arvidsson (if you haven’t met her already!).

She is from the small island of Tasmania, Australia and moved to England 7 years ago. She has ridden horses her entire life, growing up mustering cows on the family farm but fell in love with eventing and has competed up to 3*L level.

Since arriving in the UK she’s had a blast around the eventing circuit, enjoyed jumping big hedges trail hunting and working as a buyer for a deli.

She is loving the new challenge of working at Frome Equine Vets as a Vet Tech and in her downtime enjoys walking her two Labradors and finding fun new cafes and restaurants to visit as a treat.

Welcome to the team Alice. ✨

There are highs and lows in the equine veterinary field, but we’re easy to please really. It’s the simple things…. Although the last one doesn’t happen very often!! Would you agree??

We’d like to introduce you to one of our most recent members to join the team here at Frome Equine. Tegan Burnard has joined us in the role of Vet Tech so you will meet her out and about with the vets as well as in the office.

She has always grown up with horses and dogs and was a keen member of Wylye Valley Pony Club when she was younger. Her love for eventing and keen interest in the Veterinary industry led her to study a BSc (hons) in Veterinary Physiotherapy at Harper Adams University and she now runs her own business alongside her work at Frome Equine.

Whenever she has a spare moment, you will find her at the gym training for her next half marathon, walking one of her 3 dogs or baking some delicious bread!

Good news- we have partnered with the Pony Club to be able to offer all members a 5 Stage vetting at the huge discount of £350! Make sure that Dobbin has a clean bill of health and is going to be safe for your dearly beloved before both of you fall too much in love with him!

With outbreaks of Equine Flu in our area we are getting a lot of concerned owners asking questions about how their horse can catch the virus. Can it be spread by their groom? Is their unvaccinated horse at risk?

Hopefully this helps explain how the virus is spread and how to protect your horse.

1. Direct contact- as it says, directly touching another horse, typically nose to nose. Avoid!

2. Indirect contact- the virus can live up to 3 days in the environment so we can spread it ourselves, and so will shared equipment and water sources. Be vigilant with biosecurity, disinfect where needed and use your own stuff!

3. Airborne droplets- when horses cough or sneeze they release virus particles in an aerosol which then travels in the air. Horses in close proximity or sharing an air space are at risk of infection. It is even thought to travel up to 5km on the wind in the right conditions!
If your horse is on a yard or going to events with other horses they are at risk, and vaccination within the last 6 months is recommended to reduce the severity and risk of disease.

Please get in touch if you have any concerns or wish to discuss equine flu with us.

We all know it’s hot, and we’ve talked about how to keep your horse cool but do you know the signs of heatstroke to look out for?

Young, old, overweight, hairy and horses with equine asthma are at higher risk during these extreme temperatures.

Untreated heatstroke can be fatal as high internal temperatures and dehydration can cause organ failure and collapse. Quick treatment can make all the difference.

Be concerned if your horse shows these signs:
🌡️profuse sweating
🌡️rapid heavy breathing
🌡️temperature >39.5C
🌡️very lethargic and dull
🌡️loss of appetite
🌡️weakness and staggering
🌡️panicky/manic
🌡️muscle tremors
🌡️collapse

If you suspect HEATSTROKE then act promptly
💦move to shade
💦hose continuously with water, especially large muscle groups
💦 stand in a breeze or by a fan if possible
💦offer half a bucket of cold water every 30 minutes

If there is no improvement in 20-30 minutes then call a vet (or immediately if they are very weak or collapsed)! They may require intravenous fluids, anti-inflammatories and electrolytes.

Stay safe this week and keep cool! 😎

Don’t lose your cool this week!

With temperature set to be high this week we thought it would be good to remind you of these tips on how to help your horse beat the heat! Swipe for signs of heat stroke and what to do 👉🏻

We are proud to share that our vet tech Charlie Perrott recently won the opening Horsequest Novice Masters at Musketeers Events Cirencester Park Horse Trials on her own horse Clopook Joker. They had a double clear to finish on their dressage score of 29.8.

Well done Charlie and Smurf! We wish them luck for the rest of the season and look forward to following their success.
