🐴🎇Are you ready for the Firework Season?

As natural flight animals fireworks can cause severe panic in horses.

By gradually introducing loud noises and flashing lights, you can help your horse build confidence and reduce their reaction to fireworks. (You can introduce firework noises using any portable device you have to hand and can use colour-changing LED lights to introduce flashing lights)

If your horse has reacted badly to fireworks in the past, don't worry! We're here to help you explore options for a safer, happier experience. 🐴
☎ Please contact us to discuss possible options available to you 01704 821204 (option 2)

📞Yesterday we were called by Merseyside Police regarding a loose pony at an Industrial estate in St Helens.

This young c**t that Martha fondly named 'Roger' had been running loose overnight.
Despite appearing well shod he was underweight and hungry. The staff had kindly offered him cheerios' and shared their apples from their MacDonalds happy meal !
Fortunately Martha took a bucket of horse food to enable catching him and was able to get a headcollar on him, sadly he wasn't microchipped and despite local enquiries people in the surrounding area did not know who he belonged too 🤷‍♀️

Penny Farm came and collected him so hopefully the future will be a bit brighter.

As World Horse Welfare's official Centenary Vet Partner, Inspiring Vet Care will provide funding and in-kind support to help the charity continue its vital work caring for, rehabilitating and rehoming horses in need across the UK. ❤️‍🩹

The early clinical signs of Cushing’s disease are often overlooked or simply put down to ‘old age’. These include the development of a pot belly and loss of topline over the back - both associated with reduced muscle mass and strength. Other signs develop as the disease progresses, including an excessively long hair coat, (‘hypertrichosis’), and delayed or even absent seasonal coat moulting.

Concerned about Cushing's disease?
Please call us to discuss your horse’s symptoms if you are concerned that they may have Cushing’s disease. We are happy to advise you on the next steps. 📞

💟Over the weekend Karen, Jac, Clare, and 🐶Doug from our equine team, along with Sue and Lynn from our small animal team, took part in the Walk of Hope at the stunning Chatsworth Estate in Derbyshire, raising vital funds and awareness for Brain Tumour Research. Together, they conquered 5K and have already raised an amazing £590!

💔Sadly this charity is close to Karen's heart as her daughter bravely battles a Grade 4 brain tumour that was diagnosed last year. She has since had to undergo surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy to try and slow down this aggressive tumour.
