I had a great day today judging at Lochside arena show. I felt very honoured to be asked and also a little nervous but it was wonderful to meet so many lovely people and horses and the atmosphere was fantastic.

Horse training Hebridean style, we might not have the mainland facilities but we have the best views and locations! A fantastically behaved six year old today being re started although his friend doesn't look so impressed!

Busy but fun times this past week and a wide variety of jobs! Ride leading, re starting a youngster, sheath cleaning ( ok not so fun but happy to do it and always satisfying to see a horse more comfortable) and some work egg counts! See Faecal worm egg counts at Croft Seventeen, Lemreway. for more details or contact me through this page.

After an initial vet visit to suture this wound I spent many months dressing this horse's leg after a serious injury. Thanks to her owner's patience it has eventually almost healed. A wound like this can take a considerable amount of time to heal. Fortunately not important structures in the horse's leg were affected. I can provide Equine veterinary nursing care on the island for anything that falls outside the remit of being employed by a veterinary practice. The vet visited a couple of times to debride this wound under sedation but I was able to provide the rest of the care and if necessary advise the owners to speak to the treating vet.

Just a reminder that I also offer worm egg counts Faecal worm egg counts at Croft Seventeen, Lemreway. This can help you target your spring worming schedule and hopefully not treat unnecessarily.
