Exercising your dog is not just a pastime; it’s a cornerstone of responsible pet ownership. I think we all understand the physical benefits, but what about or canine’s mental and social wellbeing? 🐶

These may include,
•Behavioral Improvement: Reduces behavioral problems caused by excess energy, boredom, and anxiety.
•Mental Stimulation: Engages their minds, preventing cognitive decline and boredom.
•Emotional Well-being: Fosters a closer bond with their owner, reducing stress and anxiety.
•Socialization: Encourages positive social interactions with other dogs and people.
•Longevity: Contributes to a longer, healthier life for dogs by preventing numerous issues.

In short, walk your dogs ⭐️

Our lovely Derry is for sale!
• Irish Sport Horse
• Bay, gelding
• 14yo, 16.3hh

Hacks alone or in company, no vices/quirks
Has done eventing to 80cm and Pony club to B+
A family loved horse, 5* home only
Derry is nothing but a dream horse, he happily schools to 80cm in showjumping and crosscountry, he hacks out alone or in company and he even dazzles the judges in the dressage ring to novice level, with more than a few elementary tricks learned.

Derry would best suit a home where he will be doing some gentle jumping, plenty dressage and hacking, and the odd few competitions if his rider desires. He has seen it all, loves beach rides, has impeccible stable manners, gets on well with other horses and loves his grub!

He rides beautifully on the flat with a lovely light contact, he is not too forward or too lazy. He is always ridden in a loose ring snaffle bit, including out on the xc. Derry travels very well, is great for the farrier and easy to clip. He placed third at the Dressage Ireland national championships in prelimary level 2022.

Derry has been born and raised in one home his entire life, and will be very missed as he is such a reliable horse, with a truly lovely personality.

Danny (front left) our on site Veterinarian here at Holmes Equestrian, was present with his European colleagues to discuss the main issues confronting the profession: mental health, a shortage of vets and increasing corporations buying veterinary practices! 🐴🐱🐶
