Passport checks at the various competitions over the summer have caused real issue for some unlucky competitors. Although seemingly up to date, historic anomalies, typically with an incorrect primary vaccine course, have led to ponies and horses being turned away from a competition.

To help ensure your horse's and pony's vaccines are correct and up to date with no hidden historic mistakes, we are planning a vaccination reassurance check for BEVs clients. Hopefully just a double check... but better to be safe than sorry!

If you send in pictures of the passport vaccination pages, our vets will check through the full vaccine history from your pony's passport and confirm they are correct and up to date - including advice on differing competition rules and governing bodies. Or if you're due a vaccine in the near future, just speak to the vet in attendance at the call.

If you're unsure about your horse's vaccination history, please email photos to [email protected].

A tough start... This Mini Shetland foal sadly lost his mum at just 2 days old, and a foster mare was urgently needed. Luckily for Okie, one was found in time.
Mothering on went well and we're all pleased and relieved it was a successful outcome (especially Georgia the case vet!).
Okie is doing brilliantly with his new mum and we wish him, Annie and his owner all the best for a less stressful summer! ☀️

Update Sat 2nd 6.15pm - OkieDokie foalie has successfully been bonded with a new mummy thanks to supervet Georgia & we're now trying to stimulate her milk production for him🤞🤞 Thank you so much everyone for the staggering wealth of support 🙏💞
