Waw! ๐Ÿคฉ

Congratulations to our clients Amie & Gordon at Rathkenny Stud for rehabbing this tendon injury so successfully.

These scan are only three months apart, and as you can see the huge hole in the tendon has almost completely filled in.
The horse has the all clear to start his ridden rehabilitation work now ๐Ÿ™Œ

This was achieved solely by the regular use of the water spa and water treadmill with no extra lotions or potions! Quite remarkable.

๐Ÿด Protecting Your Horseโ€™s Health with Faster Diagnostics ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ

With several confirmed cases of Strangles reported across North Devon and North Cornwall, we know many horse owners are feeling concerned about their horsesโ€™ health.

At West Ridge Equine, weโ€™re here to help. We can now test for Strangles and other respiratory infections in-house, with results available in as little as 30 minutes.

This quick testing allows us to act fast and help you make the best decisions for your horse and prevent further outbreak.

โš ๏ธ A cough
โš ๏ธ A runny or snotty nose
โš ๏ธ Enlarged lymph nodes
โš ๏ธ A high temperature
โš ๏ธ Or if they simply seem not quite themselves

We can visit you, perform a quick and straightforward test, and guide you on the best next steps for your horseโ€™s care.

Your horseโ€™s health and wellbeing are always our top priority. ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’™

If you have questions about the current outbreaks or would like to book a test, please contact us.

Boehringer Ingelheim is updating its Care About Cushingโ€™s initiative, which provides free diagnostic testing for Equine Cushingโ€™s (PPID). Hereโ€™s what horse owners and vets need to know:

Free annual ACTH lab tests will now be available during these periods only:
โ€ข Spring (Marchโ€“April) โ€“ ideal for assessing laminitis risk.
โ€ข Autumn (Septemberโ€“October) โ€“ when diagnostic accuracy peaks.

Horse owners must work with a participating veterinary practice, which will generate a voucher code for the lab tests. Make sure the voucher is requested before or during your appointment and is submitted alongside the blood sample. As always this voucher code will cover the laboratory fees only, not the visit or cost of taking the sample.

Congratulations to Serdar ๐ŸŒŸ

We are pleased to announce that Serdar has successfully completed his examinations to become an Official Veterinarian (OV) ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ

As an OV, Serdar is authorised by the relevant authorities to carry out statutory veterinary work, including the inspection and certification of horses for international travel. He is now able to complete official health documentation for equine exports, ensuring compliance with export regulations and destination country requirements.

West Ridge Equine has extensive experience supporting equine exports and international travel. Our team is well-versed in the health, certification, and regulatory requirements involved in transporting horses overseas, and we work closely with owners, agents, and transport companies to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible. If you are planning to export a horse or require advice on international travel, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the practice to discuss your requirements.

Please contact a member of the administration team to inquire about the export process.

Sadly just before Christmas we said goodbye to the wonderful Emily, as she leaves us to go travelling!

Emily joined West Ridge Equine over two years ago and has become an invaluable member of the office and admin team.

Emily was a self confessed novice with all things โ€œhorseyโ€ when she started with us, but has gone above and beyond to learn the ropes and has ended up doing everything from triaging emergencies over the phone, organising vets diaries, sorting surgical kits, doing worm egg counts and helping the vets out on the road with x rays and scoping. She has also been the genius behind the beautiful photographs you may have seen on our website!

We wish Em all the best with her travels, and it goes without saying she will be greatly missed.

Keep in touch Em!
