EQUINE INFLUENZA NOTICE

We are increasingly aware of the concern throughout South Wales owing to the presence of Equine Influenza. Whilst we know there are multiple cases in the area, we want to reassure everyone that we are taking every precaution possible to prevent the spread

We completely appreciate everyone’s worry; whilst this illness can impact any Horse, we have a couple of oldies ourselves who would find themselves particularly vulnerable, so we understand and the measures we have in place are for both your Horses and our own 🙏🏻

🙅🏼‍♀️ None of the Horses currently in our care (including our own and clients) are showing any symptoms, but we are monitoring this closely and will have the following measures in place for the foreseeable:

• Biosecurity measures (disinfecting/replacing tools, outer layers and footwear between yards, disinfecting the car as best we can in between calls also)
• All meet and greets are on hold until the situation is under control
• All Horses in our care are being closely monitored

With this being said, please let us know if you have us booked in and your Horse or another on the yard start to show any signs and we will rearrange. Symptoms to look out for include:

• A dry, harsh cough
• Nasal discharge
• A fever (re**al temperature over 38.5°c)
• Lethargy and/or reduced performance

Thank you all for your continued patience and understanding as we navigate what it means for us to be a service-based business within a worry such as this one. Your support is always appreciated 🙏🏻

- Shannon & Daniel xx

Did you know we offer one TOTALLY FREE Meet & Greet for each and every one of our new clients? 🤔

This gives you the chance to get to see who we are and what we’re about, as well as giving us the chance to meet all of your lovely pets 😍

We think of this as one of the most important services we offer as the comfort of your pets is at the core of everything we do here at Pawfect. We like to ensure you’re happy, we’re happy and most importantly that your pets are happy before we commit to anything 🥰

PLEASE NOTE: this is not a standalone service and is provided prior to a booking ❤️

We are taking bookings NOW for horse care, pop ins and dog walking - please pop us a message to enquire! 💌

UPDATED PRICE LIST

Our new price list will be in place from Monday 4th May 2026

This price increase is something we've been holding off on for a while, but with rising costs, we can't push this back any further. At the moment, we are spending around £30/35 per day on fuel alone 🤢 not to mention our insurances, bills of our own, wear and tear on the car, etc. etc.

We have always had a goal of providing affordable pet care and have always absorbed as much of the cost of providing this service as we possibly can and will continue to do so

We would like to thank you all for your continued support - whether you book us in to take care of your animals or simply like/share and comment on our posts, we see you and truly appreciate you 🙏🏻

Hope to hear from you all soon and can't wait to continue working with so many wonderful animals 😍

Suns out, buns out, ey Ginge? 😜🍑

We love our orange weirdo 🙈😂🧡

Context? He was last to go for the farrier and therefore the last to be turned out.. his friends had gone across the field without him.. he could still see them, but that’s not the same is it?! How would he ever survive? Nothing a hop, skip and a jump can’t fix 🫣😂

She believed she could, but her dog was on her lap so she didn’t 😆 happy international women’s day ❤️

Yesterday, a group of school kids broke into the neighbouring field (again 🙄), they chose to shout some unrepeatable things and then tell our Lily that she “looks like she has a bad paint job” … To be fair, this did give us a giggle, but this was Lily’s response 😜

There isn’t really anything to take away here, we’re just sharing in hopes that it’ll make at least one person smile as it did for us 🙈😂

Just Dan serenading our Lily this evening amidst another super busy day (and no he doesn’t serenade Shan like this, seems to be exclusive to Horses only 👀😂)

We are sooo grateful to be so busy and seeing so many fantastic animals daily 🥰

Shan’s day started with McFrankie 🐶 and went on to a pop in for beautiful Rocket & Koba 🐱🐱 for their breakfast, water and litter tray 👌🏻

Dan’s day started at an overnight sit for Bella 🐶

Following this, we met up to do our anonymous 2 amigos 🐴🐴 - breakfast sorted for them, along with hay, meal prep and popping them into their day fields 🥰

Straight onto the lovely Mulligan and Maximus 🐴🐴, for their first ever trimming experience with Heel 1st Hoof Care, where they were super brave babies and worked through their worries/figured out their balance 🙌🏻

Side note - Sian is absolutely fantastic, we would highly recommend!! 💯

Next up a visit for newbies to Pawfect Sox & Caron 🐴🐴 to muck out, give them breakfast, hay and water 😍

Followed by stables mucked out, hay & water ready for gorgeous Belle & Tom 🐴🐴 to come in for the evening 🙌🏻

Our own yard of reprobates 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐱🐱🐱 were up next - surprisingly, everyone behaved 🤣

Last stop of the day was for handsome Pencil & Tommy’s 🐴🐴 evening visit, along with a flock of chickens 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓

Turn. Out. Your. Horses.

Not sometimes.
Not when it’s convenient.
Not only when the weather is nice.

Daily turnout is not a luxury or enrichment add on. It is a biological requirement.

Horses evolved to move for most of the day. To walk, graze, socialize, rest, and regulate their nervous systems through motion and choice. When we confine them for long periods, we are not creating calm. We are suppressing natural behaviour.

Lack of turnout is strongly associated with increased stereotypies, gastric ulcers, musculoskeletal strain, heightened reactivity, and what is often mislabeled as “bad behaviour.” These are not training issues. They are welfare issues.

Exercise under saddle does NOT replace free movement. A one hour ride does not undo twenty three hours of restriction. Training does not compensate for unmet needs.

If a horse is “better” when kept in, that is not proof the system works. It is a red flag that the horse is struggling to cope.

Turnout supports physical health, emotional regulation, soundness, and learning. It is one of the most basic forms of harm reduction we can offer.

Turn. Out. Your. Horses.
