We have enjoyed looking after many lovely foals this year, but this one being a rare breed, is super special to us. Her dam 'Princess' came to us for Artificial Insemination (AI) in 2024 and as a result, produced this lovely filly early April this year.

We are pleased to announce that her caring owners are expecting 3 more of this lovely breed in 2026!

This lovely little foal was born a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the placenta was retained but due to the owner closely monitoring the foaling, they noticed this life-threatening issue and they contacted us in good time.

We were able to help her pass the placenta with no further issues and this lovely mare and foal are both doing really well!

Does anyone know what the brown liver-shaped tissue (circled in red) is, that was also passed during foaling?

We were delighted to see that this lovely girl is healing brilliantly after having surgery to remove her eye. She suffered bouts of painful inflammation which were becoming more severe and frequent each time. It’s amazing how well she is adapting already.

One of our lovely patients sustained a nasty gash that needed 19 stitches, after catching her elbow on a paddock fence. She was a star patient ✨ and her owners were brilliant at calling us as soon as it happened, giving the wound the best chance to heal.

In December 2023 we posted on Facebook asking for unwanted Cottage Craft type girths for a vet in Gambia who makes them into harness for working ponies and donkeys. It’s very hard for them to get tack out there so they use anything that comes to hand, often to the detriment of the equine.

The result of that post was donations of lots of girths, and the brilliant Client who initiated the idea has sent us this wonderful update:

"I have just got back from my latest trip there and took 20kg of horse related things ( just room for my bikini!! 🤣), 10kg of which was suitable girths. I had cut the buckles off to save weight in my luggage.

Picture of the vet collecting the bag of girths on his motorbike. He is very grateful and it will help many ponies and donkeys".
