It’s nearly time for Strangles Awareness Week 💛🐴

With almost 500 lab-confirmed cases of Strangles in the UK last year, the rise in outbreaks means there’s never been a more important time to get involved in the campaign.

We’re a proud collaborating partner of Strangles Awareness Week so we'll be sharing information and inspiration in the first week of May to help spread the word, not the disease.

Please look out for lots of content and share as widely as you can to help protect horses from this awful disease. Thank you ! 💛🐴

Yesterday was quite a busy day at HMR!

We had visits from Sarah at Wessex Equine Vets (and her lovely dog Dot) and Robin from Incus Forge all to support our current horses on their healing journeys.

Cate from VideoGig also joined us to work on our brand video, some equine health videos, and other updates that we’ll share soon.

We tackled a couple of lameness evaluations, took some bloods from Zane to check his progress, Bambi received some corrective work on his teeth, and Beep bravely faced his first trim despite dealing with a bad abscess in his right hind leg. I feel so fortunate to have such a compassionate team dedicated to helping the horses that come through our gate.

Follow our page for more updates on our equine clients and some useful insights coming up!

As our clients know, bio security has always been high on our agenda as a responsible horse transporter, and we are dedicated to keeping our vehicles clean to help prevent the spread of infectious disease. However unfamiliar horses arriving on new yards are a common source of infectious disease outbreaks and not all infected horses look unwell! It is important to be aware of the risks and manage them accordingly.

As part of there is a free webinar for yard owners available on Wednesday, the content will help you prevent infectious disease outbreaks on your yard, and provide some insight on how to manage the situation should it occur. Register below ⬇️ to help and prevent the spread of equine disease

RATE OF INTAKE MATTERS!!

For ID-affected horses and ponies and those prone to laminitis/with EMS, the issue with grass isn't just its nutrient content, but also how palatable and quickly-eaten it can be!

Ponies can eat half their daily calorie requirements from grass in just 3 hours.

Both total calorie and NSC intake and the rate of NSC intake matters.

It's the amount of NSC that is eaten per given amount of time that impacts insulin response.

On a side note, grazing muzzles reduce total intake but also slow the rate of intake, which is key for ID horses and ponies.

Slowing down rate of intake with the type of forage (very short grass, late cut fibrous hay that takes more chewing), grazing muzzles, and slow feeders will all have a beneficial effect not just on extending eating time but also on insulin response and level.
