Check out this photoshoot of the absolutely gorgeous Theo!! 😍

(Hannah & Winston didnt scrub up too bad either 😉😅)

I was meant to give Theo a general tidy up for this shoot, but accidentally gave him a full clip 😆😆😆

(In my defense, he does sometimes get a full clip lol)

Anyway, Theo being Theo, put up a beautiful shine for the big day! This big affectionate gentleman has been one of my regular customers for many, many years, and he is now getting to kick back and chill in his happy retirement 💙💙💙

Thanks to Hannah Gray for allowing me to share these stunning pictures, shot by Tori O'connor Photography

A nice relaxed month before the September madness!!

Please plan ahead for Sept as I am already getting booking requests.

This year if I get last minute cancellations for silly reasons I will have to charge unfortunately. Its not fair to do it as you are depriving someone else that could have had that space

Repeat messers are going in the sin bin.....sorry, not sorry, the world doesn't revolve around you ;)

Loyal & appreciated Autumn/Winter clients, looking forward to seeing you all 🙂

Bot fly egg warning! ⚠️

Below is a picture I took today of a horse with bot fly eggs. They can easily be mistaken for lice or grass seed. I have seen a lot of cases this last few weeks. Some people have success removing them with a nit comb. However the flies will lay more in the fur again, so it's a lot more beneficial to just clip. These can cause a lot of problems for horses, as listed below, so don't ignore them

In the UK, bot flies are primarily a concern for horses, where they are known to lay eggs that develop into larvae that can cause intestinal issues. The flies themselves are bumblebee-sized, and are attracted to horses to lay their eggs, or "nits", on the coat. There are two main species in the UK that affect horses, Gasterophilus nasalis and Gasterophilus intestinalis, with the latter laying eggs on the legs and shoulders, and the former laying them around the throat and chin areas.
Botfly Lifecycle and Impact on Horses:
Egg Laying:
Adult bot flies, which look like small, striped wasps, lay their eggs on a horse's coat, often around the legs, neck, and face.
Larval Stage:
When the horse grooms itself, it ingests the eggs. The larvae then hatch and migrate to the horse's stomach, where they attach and grow.
Potential Problems:
While horses often don't show obvious signs, heavy infestations can lead to a dry coat, lack of appetite, fever, restlessness, and even digestive issues.
Geographic Distribution:
Bot flies are more common in the south and midlands of the UK, but their range is expanding northward with warming temperatures.
Treatment:
Veterinarians often recommend worming with ivermectin or moxidectin to eliminate bot larvae.

Apparently it's to get hot again this week fs!

If your horse is putting up a thick coat, and you think it'll be sticky and sweaty, please get in touch today for a ✂️✂️ date, as I haven't got very much space left. Wednesday is available, and limited space Tues/Thurs

Very simple question.........yet it has many, many answers, depending on the scenario.........yet the behavioural traits are very obvious, should it be you, your horse, or almost any animal.....

as horse riders, we ALL experience it, and how we deal with it, can be applied to other areas in life, that's why we are cut from different cloth!

The question is................what is FEAR?

YOU have it!

What is it?
