What a privilege to be tiered from the work you once begged the universe for.
What a privilege to be overwhelmed about the growth you once dreamt for.
What a privilege🩷

⚠ You might have heard the saying “worm after the first frost,” but while frost can help reduce bot fly activity, our milder UK winters mean this old advice doesn’t hold true when it comes to encysted redworm.

❄️ People can be eager to give their winter wormer, but one frost is not enough and as long as temperatures on the pasture stay above 6°C, redworm remain active which allows the potential for reinfection. For healthy adult horses, It’s best to wait until winter sets in (Dec–Feb) with temperatures consistently below 6°C for several days before tackling encysted redworm. At that stage, either blood testing or using an appropriate wormer is recommended.

🍂🔬 For now, we’re still in autumn, so if it’s been more than three months since your last worm egg count or six months since your last tapeworm test, it’s time to check in with your worm control plan. If your results show a need for treatment, it’s fine to treat now with the right wormer, then plan your encysted redworm control.

High risk horses that are either young, old or immune compromised may need extra consideration, so get in touch if you're not sure and undertake a risk profile so you know your individual horses risk level.

🐴Life with horses rarely stands still. Feed needs prepping, hay nets need hanging, hooves need picking - even on days of remembrance.

🙏But today isn’t about our routine. It’s about the people who walked away from theirs so the rest of us could keep ours.

❤️Their courage, endurance, and loyalty continue to inspire the equestrian world we live and work in today. So, if you can, take a quiet moment today to honour the humans and horses who gave everything so that we could live, work, and ride in freedom.

Day 4 – Horrifically Stored Hay and Bedding ⚠🔥🎃

🌾 Hay and straw might look harmless, but when stored badly, they’re a fire risk 🔥waiting to happen. A cluttered hay barn is a combustible nightmare, so…

✔️ Keep materials dry and well ventilated.
✔️ Always store away from heaters and electrical items.
✔️ Rotate stock to avoid damp and mould.
✔️ Use trollies and barrows for moving heavy loads, no back-breaking horrors here!

Good storage means no spooky surprises and a healthier yard all round.

🔥A fire could destroy your yard in minutes... don't put your horses, staff, buildings or business at risk. Get clued up on fire, welfare, emergencies, equipment management, risk assessments and more on the BGA website!

⏰ The clocks go back tonight and darkness cometh!!

Yes! It's that magical time of year when the clocks go back an hour and we all pretend we’re getting an extra hour’s sleep…

Reality check: We’re just swapping sunrise for headtorch o’clock. 🔦

See you in daylight again sometime around… March? 😂🐴
