💙 Our vet Anna and her daughter Isabella both recently represented Solihull Riding Club at the British Riding Clubs Area 5 Summer Dressage Qualifier with their horses Nora and Jasper.

Both of them did a fantastic job, but the star of the show was Isabella who won her class 🥇👏

Many of our equine vets don’t just care for your horses - they have their own horses, too. That means they understand exactly what goes into horse ownership, including the worries you have when something isn’t quite right.

For Anna and her three daughters, that love of horses is becoming a family affair! 😍

Fingers crossed at least one of them grows up to be an equine vet so they can eventually take Anna’s place on the 608 team 😜

⚠️ Hard ground warning ⚠️

The recent extended period of dry weather has really caused the ground to harden up. Are you aware of the risks of riding on hard ground?

🐎 Exercising your horse on hard ground can cause concussion-related lameness issues. When the horse’s hoof meets the ground, it’s subjected to a great deal of concussive force.

When the ground is softer, it absorbs some of the impact and provides cushioning to the foot - but the harder the ground, the less force is absorbed and the more stress on the horse.

It’s not only ridden horses who are at risk of concussive injuries from hard ground - any retired oldies who like to show you they’ve still got it by galloping round their paddock can also do themselves some damage! If this sounds like your horse, consider bringing them in a little earlier than usual.

Shod horses are also at greater risk from hard ground than unshod horses, as unshod horses actually absorb some of the concussive forces through their frogs.

Hard ground can cause injuries like:
🔵 Jarring injuries
⚪️ Tendon and ligament injuries
🔵 Bruised soles
⚪️ Splints
🔵 Concussive laminitis
⚪️ Pedal bone fractures

You can reduce the risk by:
🔵 Trying not to work your horse on hard ground too often
⚪️ Choosing softer surfaces for jumping where possible
🔵 Apply cold water after hard work
⚪️ Maintain your horse’s overall fitness/strength
🔵 Listen to your individual horse

☀️🥵 Hot weather colics - are you aware of the risks? 🥵☀️

Did you know that warm weather can increase the likelihood of horses suffering from impaction colic?

It’s all to do with water intake - so your job as an owner is to keep your horse’s water intake up! ⬆️

➡️ Swipe to see our tips for boosting hydration and the signs of colic.

If you suspect your horse is suffering from an impaction colic, call us immediately. Colics can be unpredictable and prompt treatment can be hugely influential on the outcome.

Nosy ponies Hadley and Fly couldn’t resist getting involved in their appointments with our vet Anna last week! 😍

Hadley’s giving his opinion on his own x-rays, and Fly’s giving Anna a helping hand with her diary management 😉

Getting up close and personal with your lovely equine friends is a definite perk of the job 💙

🦙 Not your average day in the 608 treatment room! 😍

It was a busy weekend for our vet Charlotte last week, who had to give an emergency blood transfusion to a baby alpaca to help give them the best start in life 💙

We think you’ll all agree that they were one very cute client. Thanks to Lucky Tails Alpacas for bringing them in to see us!

💙 We love this video of 608 client Merlin having a personal cooling session with her mini Shark fan during the heatwave 😅

We’re not sure if she’s tried the mist setting yet, but it’s safe to say she’s taking keeping cool seriously! We think she’s got the right idea ❄️

How are the rest of you coping in the heat? Let us know any hints and tips below 👇
