Fireworks 🎆 a very divisive topic! But rather than starting a debate about if and when they should be allowed (plenty of those around) instead here is a post to encourage communication and compromise 🙂

Horses and other animals can be terrified by fireworks causing injuries to themselves and others.

Limiting the length of displays, communicating openly with neighbouring yards about planned fireworks and sticking to pre arranged times helps us to help them.

Here is Gorgeous George enjoying the snoozy drugs given to him by Dr Ro having turned himself inside out the year before.

Please be mindful of other living creatures this weekend

EDIT - for the avoidance of doubt we do NOT think letting fireworks off directly over yards is acceptable in any way……..but the displays this weekend are going to go ahead whatever peoples opinions so we are just trying to keep our horses as safe as we can.

Sending huge congratulations to our sponsored partnership Naomi and Enzo for Enzo’s nomination for ‘horse of a lifetime’ at the Horse and Hound awards.

What he lacks in height he makes up for with his huge heart. Dr Ro has been lucky enough to be part of Enzo’s journey from day 1. A scruffy little spotty w**d who turned into a Grand Prix pony, he has made so many dreams come true ❤️ get your votes in for this special boy!! x

Lovely to see Ryan Le Monnier featured in the athlete spotlight.

Not only is Ryan a brilliant and dedicated athlete, competing regularly in the UK, but he is absolutely vital to our home community. I don’t think I have ever been to a show where Ryan isn’t there helping in the ring, supporting in the warm up and keeping us all fed with his amazing baking skills.

Thank you for what you do Ryan and we know you have a brilliant future ahead of you.

Wishing a very happy 93rd birthday tomorrow to our fabulous client Bernard. Bernard is not only a brilliant horseman but has been a stalwart of our Jersey equestrian community since he was a lad. Bernard and his late wife Elwyn have always been huge supporters of Ro since her arrival in jersey and especially starting the practice, always there to offer advice and encouragement.

This is Bernard today with his beloved ex-racer Crystal Reign (Casey to his friends). Casey is NOT a fan of vets 😂 but Bernard always keeps him calm and relaxed so we can get on with the job safely. Happy birthday to a genuine Jersey legend ❤️

Tank’s story ❤️ with Tank being the first horse to be operated on in the new clinic we thought we should share a little more about his journey.

Tank’s owner noticed a progressive pink area on his eye earlier in the year. Dr Ro took an excisional biopsy under sedation and local anaesthesia which was sent for analysis. The results came back as a Squamous Cell Carcinoma. SCCs are the most common form of skin cancer in horses, and are usually found on unpigmented skin around the eyes and ge****ls. The condition has been linked to UV exposure, chronic inflammation and genetics, with some breeds being predisposed.

The tumour has been removed and will be sent for analysis to check that there are tumour-free margins. Tank is recovering really well in his snazzy visor and we are optimistic for a speedy recovery. Get well soon Tank!

Join us tonight to hear Ro talking about equine first aid and emergencies :) the lovely Emma will also be talking about rider fitness and there will audience participation too as we learn to get stretchy!

It’s sure to be an informative night, with a high likelihood of bants 😂

VERY exciting day for us today.

Although it’s not officially open yet, we did our first procedure in the new purpose-built equine wellness centre 🥳

The facility is simply amazing ❤️ a credit to Steve who has built this fabulous clinic. Today Chez and Katie joined us from Optivet Referrals - Equine to remove a corneal tumour from lovely Tank. Without these amazing facilities this would have meant a trip to the UK. Thank you to the wonderful clever ophthalmology ladies for flying in to help with this case and thank you to the lovely Minier family for letting us share Tank’s journey. We will give him his own post in the next few days so you can learn about his condition, how it was diagnosed and how we are treating it.

We can NOT wait to invite you all for our upcoming open day to celebrate a giant leap forward for Jersey equines

A very personal post - but feeling the Jersey love today ❤️ we had a fabulous night yesterday at Jersey Horse Of The Year Show with Island Equine Thomas winning both his classes and claiming Reserve Supreme Ridden Champion of the show.

Our clients absolutely raised the roof for Ro 🥹 everyone has been so supportive as she has fought to recover from her serious spinal injury. The love and support in the arena last night was beautiful, palpable and so humbling! Thank you so much for bearing with us in a challenging year as a business, keeping the faith and cheering for Ro and Tom Tom - you are all wonderful humans and the best clients in the universe ❤️

What a community we have xx
