🦠‼️CORONA VIRUS/COVID-19 UPDATE🦠
Hi everyone,
As Farriery and Veterinary work is essential for animal welfare, my personal response to the Covid-19 virus is as follows:
If you would rather I did the horses alone, you can leave them in the stables for me with a head collar and rope by the door and a bucket of feed & hay net nearby.
If your horse usually needs holding for any reason for me to work on, we can arrange for you to have sedated it it in time for my arrival so you don’t have to get too near.
If you would rather be there in person this is absolutely no problem but PLEASE take necessary cautions to ensure you cannot pass anything on to me.
Please try to avoid touching your horses for as long as possible before I arrive as the virus could stay alive on your animal for longer than most surfaces, cover your mouth if coughing near them, wash your hands before touching etc.
I visit lots of clients on a weekly basis, some of whom may not recover if infected as well as having a small baby at home so it’s important you take this infection seriously.
I will be washing inbetween calls to help prevent any such spread. In the event I become unwell I will inform clients with as much notice as possible. I will then be following the current self isolation guidelines before resuming work. Every effort will be made to keep you informed in this event.
So give me a message or a ring if you will be leaving your horse in for me or would like to rearrange. It’s absolutely no problem and I’ll be fair from offended if you wish to do so.
🦠Stay safe guys! 👍
