🐴🌍 Caring for Horses, Caring for Our Planet 🌍🐴
We are committed to providing exceptional care for your horses while also considering the impact our work has on the environment.
We installed last year an innovative gas recycling system that captures and recycles waste anaesthetic gases before they enter the atmosphere, and these are our results.
We are continually exploring ways to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and embrace environmentally responsible practice.
✅ Reducing and recycling waste.
✅ Using energy efficient equipment and lighting
✅ Optimising ambulatory routes to reduce travel emissions
✅Creating space for nature with leaving selected areas of grassland to grow naturally. These areas provide valuable habitat for pollinators such as bees and butterflies, as well as birds, small mammals, and other wildlife.
✅ Carefully managing medicines and consumables
Every small change makes a difference.

Purple poppies are often associated with the remembrance of all animals who served, suffered and sacrificed during the World Wars.

This year, we wanted to create our very own design that not only serves to remember the millions of horses, donkeys and mules lost during WW1, but also those who still work tirelessly around the world today.

We are therefore pleased to introduce our special edition Every Horse Remembered pin badge 🧡

The design features a gold horseshoe and calendula flower. The horseshoe acts as a symbol of remembrance, honouring the horses, donkeys and mules who we lost during the First World War. The calendula represents healing and kindness, something we continue to work towards for the working animals of today.

By purchasing and wearing your badge, you're helping to ensure that the equines who served alongside soldiers are not forgotten and their stories kept alive, whilst also supporting Brooke's present-day work to improve the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules around the world.

Last weekend Regina was in Vimeiro, Portugal for the APMVE Congress, where she lectured about Atrial Fibrillation and Equine Asthma. This is organised by the Portuguese Equine Association annually and this was a great opportunity to meet and connect with international colleagues and visit her home country. Well done Regina!!

👨‍⚕️ How can your vet help?

If your horse has struggled with fireworks in previous years, don't wait until the last minute. Your vet can:

🔹 Assess your horse's individual needs and risk factors.
🔹 Discuss evidence based strategies to reduce stress and anxiety.
🔹 Advise on management plans for the weeks around firework season.
🔹 Recommend appropriate calming products where suitable.
🔹 Prescribe medication for horses with severe firework phobias when clinically indicated.

Planning ahead gives you the best chance of keeping your horse calm, safe and comfortable throughout the season.

📞 If you're concerned about how your horse may cope with fireworks this year, contact our equine team.

Fireworks last a few minutes. The impact on our horses can last much longer. Plan ahead and speak to your vet if you're concerned about your horse's welfare this firework season." 🐴💙
