Last week Kathryn reluctantly hung up her boots to start her maternity leave. She will be missed by us and clients alike and assures us she will be back sooner than we think (she has already been on the phone multiple times ๐Ÿ™ˆ).
She would like to thank everyone who contributed towards her lovely gifts and to the clients, some of whom even had hand made items for her eagerly anticipated new arrival โ™ฅ๏ธ. Now for some well earned rest before the sleepless nights really begin!

Did you know dental issues can lead to pain, weight loss, behavioural problems and poor performance in horses? Many dental conditions develop gradually and can be easy to miss.

A routine dental examination can help:
Keep your horse comfortable and pain free
Support healthy weight and condition
Improve performance and behaviour
Prevent more serious problems developing

Spring is a great time to get ahead and make sure your horse is ready for the season ahead.

Book a dental check-up with our skilled veterinary team today.

As the weather warms up and plants start to bloom, some
horses can develop seasonal allergies. Itโ€™s a good idea to keep
an eye out for common signs such as:
โ€ข Watery or irritated eyes
โ€ข Coughing
โ€ข Nasal discharge
โ€ข Increased sneezing
While mild symptoms can be common at this time of year,
these signs shouldnโ€™t be ignored. Early advice and treatment
can help keep your horse comfortable throughout the season.
If you notice any of these symptoms, our team is here to help
and advise.

The festive season is nearly here! ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿคถ

Batman and Winston would like to remind you all to order medication ASAP if you think you will need these over the Christmas and New Year period!

Remember our last delivery will be Christmas Eve so orders in by Friday the 19th of December to avoid any delays!

Written prescriptions are also likely to be delayed by your pharmacy so please remember this and contact us if you need any medication to tide you over (pardon the pun)!

I think it would be fair to say that Winston did not particularly enjoy his run this morning ๐Ÿ™ˆ!
We hope you don't get too wet tending to your horses this morning and get back in the warm and dry ASAP!
Please remember that although the snow may be non-existent where you are, some areas have a good covering and the roads can be slow going, please try to be patient if you are waiting for a visit today and apologies in advance if we are a little late! ๐ŸŒจโ„๏ธโ˜ƒ๏ธ
