And we are off! Great first day meeting old friends and making some new ones. Our first visit to meet Percy was a surprise as we left with a bottle of bubbles to congratulate our new venture (no pressure on everyone going forward but it was gratefully received!) Off around Sussex on a beautiful day and ended up at Mums to pick up Arthur Albert and vaccinate her doggies Agatha and Lily! Loving this already! It feels so much more personal than being in a consulting room seeing the pets in their own homes. Don’t forget to book your free welcome appointment, once you have registered online we will contact you to arrange it!

Your horse doesn’t cool down by drying off - they cool by evaporation.

Scraping water off or trapping heat under a sweat rug undermines cooling and puts your horse’s health at risk. This isn’t opinion — it’s basic thermoregulation.

Sweat scrapers and sweat rugs are outdated dogma. And yet, disappointingly, some large equine clinics are still promoting their use today.

In 34°C heat, that advice is not just wrong — it’s dangerous.

Follow the science. Choose vets who understand equine physiology, not just tradition.

✅ Soak.
✅ Shade.
✅ Repeat.
❌ No scraping.
❌ No rugs.
