Beautiful Ariel 🤩

Our stunning home bred 4yrs mare by Feinrich is now up for sale. She has just passed a pre sales vetting with full X-rays including back all clear.
She is well handled and doing basic lungeing with a lunge roller.
Up to date with worming, trimming, teeth.
The sweetest temperament.
Has wintered out in the worst weather and will happily be in or out.

16hh 10yrs TB bay gelding for permanent loan/sale. Perfect home is the priority. Todd likes to hack and is very sweet on the flat although it’s just the basics. He is the perfect gentleman to do everything with in every way. He would like a quiet life with no pressure and he doesn’t jump so just someone who wants a quiet time. He goes the best for light, sensitive riders. He has been with us a long time and a change of circumstances for his owner forces this decision so please only kind and caring people apply - no one just looking for a cheap deal without the experience or finances to care for him!! Pm me for details or call 07876554896

Equine Flu Update:

To date, the Animal Health Trust have confirmed 31 outbreaks in both England and Scotland. The following counties are affected (18): Essex, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Suffolk, Somerset, Middlesex, Sussex, Central Scotland, Kent, Leicestershire, Worcestershire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Shropshire, Norfolk and Staffordshire.

The virus has been isolated and confirmed to be a new strain of the virus (specifically Florida Clade 1 H3N8). However, the current vaccine is proving to be effective with vaccinated horses showing only mild signs of illness and recovering more rapidly in comparison to unvaccinated horses.

Familiarise yourself again with the following clinical signs. If your horse is displaying any of the below signs, please isolate the horse and contact your vet immediately.
*Lethargy
*Fever
*Dry Cough
*Nasal Discharge

Following AHT's lead, we recommend the following protocol:
1. Vaccinate - We stress the importance of getting your horses vaccinated to protect themselves and the horses around you. Please refer to our risk categories in our previous post as we do also advise horses in high and medium risk categories to be vaccinated within the past 6 months.
2. Isolate + Quarantine any new or unwell horses.
3. Investigate - Be aware of any event you are taking your horse to and ask what security measures they are taking.
4. Communicate - Please be open with your vet if you suspect a case of influenza.
5. Mitigate - Only travel with your horse if you have all the facts of your destination and are happy that it's a low risk.
