Equine Cushing’s Disease, also known as PPID, is one of the most common disease syndromes recognised in horses and ponies in the UK.

This disease is a progressive condition that can negatively impact your horse’s quality of life. While early signs, such as subtle coat changes, may seem minor at first, the disease is likely to worsen over time, leading to more serious symptoms that could significantly affect your horse’s well-being.

If you are concerned about your horse please contact our team on 01749 830666.

With bonfire night around the corner it can be a scary time for both owners and horses. Here are some ways which you can help your horse:
• Check when are where local displays are happening
• If you know that fireworks will be set off near your horses yard, try to be with them to keep an eye on them
• Play a radio a little louder than normal to help drown out some of the noises
• Give them a treat ball or hide treats to keep them distracted
• If your horse is happy to, then bring them in for stabling. However, if a stable is a stressful environment for them under normal circumstances keep them out to avoid extra stress.
• Try to make their environment as safe and secure as possible. Remove anything sharp or slippery and make sure fences and gates are secure.

If you have any concerns about your horse during this period and would like some advice please contact one of our team on 01749 830 666.

Autumn is the time of year when sycamores drop their seeds. If these are ingested by your horse it can cause atypical myopathy, which can be fatal due to the seeds containing a toxin known as hypoglycin A.

To reduce the risk of exposure to sycamore seeds, fence off access to sycamore trees in your fields. You can also help by providing alternative forage such as hay or haylage off the floor in nets or feed racks and remove and seeds or saplings you see in their paddock.
