𝐀𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐲𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 - 𝐀 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬

This year is already proving to be a particularly bad year for cases of atypical myopathy in horses, caused by the ingestion of hypoglycin A, a natural toxin found in the seeds and seedlings of certain acer tree species, primarily sycamore in the UK.

We want to remind everyone to be vigilant. Our team is working incredibly hard to care for horses affected by this devastating condition. These cases are extremely challenging, emotionally draining and, sadly, often heart breaking. Our team put so much into every horse they treat, and it is incredibly upsetting to see horses and their owners going through this.

We want to help our clients understand the risks and, importantly, what they can do to help protect their horses. Do you have questions about atypical myopathy?

DM us your questions and our team will answer them tomorrow. Let's keep our horses safe.

David joined the practice in 2004 and went on to become a partner and subsequently Clinical Director in 2007. David has been a key part of our referral and emergency surgical team throughout his time at LEH, also providing in house leadership and support in specific areas of the business. Additionally, he has been Senior Veterinary Surgeon to Goodwood Racecourse and provided specialist ambulatory services to a niche group of sport horse clients forming lasting and successful bonds with his client base.

David has been a great ambassador for the practice, and his expertise and experience will be greatly missed by all.

We would like to extend our love and thanks to David for his many years of commitment and service and we wish him and his partner Jane all the best as they embark on their next chapter on the other side of the Atlantic!

Good luck and thank you!

We can honestly say that there isn't a day that goes by when we aren't grateful for our incredible team of receptionist/administrators.

Across all of our teams - referral hospital, ambulatory team and diagnostic laboratory - our essential administration and support team members are fundamental to the smooth running of Liphook Equine Hospital. Quite simply, we couldn't function without them.

Roscoe and Louise, who lives with dementia, seen here sharing a beautiful moment of connection.

Horses have an incredible way of reaching us without words. They don’t ask us to remember, explain or communicate, they simply meet us where we are.

Just as they do for all horse owners, for people living with dementia, time spent with horses can bring comfort, calm, sensory stimulation and, perhaps most importantly, moments of connection and joy. A gentle touch, a warm breath or the feeling of a familiar animal beside you can unlock memories and emotions that words sometimes can’t.

We wish you a wonderful weekend with your horses ❤️
