What a fabulous weekend at Castle Howard Festival Of Dogs

We had a fantastic time at Castle Howard Festival Of dogs this weekend.
We met so many different dogs – all breeds, ages, shapes & sizes, and their owners.
It was great to be able to chat to the owners while the dogs all enjoyed a few treats while on our weigh scales.
In addition to discussing weight and body condition scoring, we were talking all things dental and we had the Vetschoice range of dental products on hand for owners to buy.
We also had the sustainable range of BECO pet products & accessories which went down a treat; one dog even took hold of one of the Fernando Flamingo’s on the shelf and when he wouldn’t let go, the owner went ahead and bought it! Now there’s a dog that knows how to get what he wants!
A few pictures from a fabulous weekend.

Jess Blog Update

I’m so excited to be writing my first blog for Station House as their ambassador!

Where is this year going?! It’s May already! I’m very pleased to have got my eventing season well underway now. My first event of the season was at Northallerton EC where I had both horses running, (Elvis and Delboy). Delboy had a pleasing first run and Elvis was amazing in his first affiliated BE where he finished on his dressage score to finish 2nd.

I then stepped Delboy back up to novice at our next event, where it was nice to see all our winter homework is paying off with a couple of top 10 placings! My most recent event was up in Cumbria where again I ran both horses and they both jumped double clears and both got placed!

My next event is my first international of the year at Chatsworth where I have Delboy in the 2*! His prep work is going very well so far so fingers crossed for a nice run! Very exciting!In between all the busy eventing Station House have been out to vaccinate the horses, done worm egg counts and checked teeth! Amazing work as always!

Thank you and I can’t wait to update you all on my next blog!

Binky & Boysie’s Blog Update

It has been a busy time since I became Station House Vets Young Ambassador. Here’s a few things Boysie and the rest of the gang and I have been up to.

At the beginning of March we went to Manor Grange Stud for some freestyle dressage we “danced” to the music of Lion King (which me and Boysie love!!) This gained us a goood score and 1st place! The day after it was to Holmside in Durham for the BD Combined Training qualifier, once again Boysie tried his little heart out and won the class having done a nice test and clear sj . This gained us a ticket to Champs!

The following weekend it was road trip time to Aston Le Walls in Northamptonshire for BRC Arena Eventing champs. Boysie and I were part of a team for Malton Riding club. My team mates all rode really well and our ponies all jumped fab for us to be placed team 3rd out of about 30 teams from all around the UK- boysie and I also picked up individual 6th!!

Later on that week Amelia from Station House Vets came and castrated Storm, our yearling, and vaccinated Boysie and took a poo sample for the worming program. I also recieved my super SHV jacket and saddle pad!

Then it was to Snainton for a training session with Charlotte Wilson . That weekend it was to Northallaton for the NSEA JWS where me and boysie parted company! (Whoops!!)

The weekend after it was to Port Royal for BD. Another successful BD trip out.

   

The 1st of April brought a new life to the world. Summer safely delivered ‘Skyes The Limit’ our little dun filly! Skye is very cute but also very sassy!

After not much sleep it was back to Port Royal for BRC Combined training qualifier 3rd after dressage meant we had to jump clear to be in with a chance!  Boysie jumped amazing with a clear round gaining us the win and another road trip to Aston Le Walls in May!

Amelia then came out to check Skye and Summer over and gave them both the thumbs up .

We also went to a super talk at Station House about lameness and treatments; Clare also showed us some horses legs and the tendons, it was really interesting, and the food was really yummy!!

Watch out for our next update!

World veterinary day

Today is World Veterinary Day – a day to celebrate the amazing work that our veterinary surgeons & nurses do every day of the year!
 
This years theme is veterinary resilience.
 
Veterinary resilience is the ability to effectively respond to and recover from adverse events. It is vital for veterinarians, veterinary staff, and animal owners worldwide. By building resilience in our veterinary community, we can improve preparedness for future challenges and better protect animals and human health.
 
Many factors can affect veterinary resilience. These include personal factors, such as personality and coping strategies; professional factors, such as workload and job satisfaction; and environmental factors, such as support from colleagues and management.
 
World Veterinary Day 2022 is a perfect opportunity to raise awareness of veterinary resilience and its importance.
 
It’s an opportunity to thank the team for their ongoing resilience in such a tough hard working environment which is both physically and emotionally challenging in so many ways every single day! The veterinary team really are remarkable and appear to have super powers – but we mustn’t forget that they are human beings too!
 
Feel free to share your support for the Station House Vets veterinary team today by visiting our Facebook page and adding a comment or a Review of the team.

From next Wednesday (27th April) we are pleased to be able to offer K Laser therapy clinics for your pets.
 
Laser therapy provides a non-invasive, pain-free, surgery-free and drug-free treatment that is used to treat a variety of conditions.
 
K Laser therapy is beneficial for pets as below:
Pain management : laser therapy is a non-invasive therapy used instead of or as well as  drug therapy for the treatment of chronic pain. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic pain
 
Wound healing : laser therapy can significantly reduce healing time, while at the same time improving the quality of tissue (more proliferation of normal cells, less tension and scar formation) traumatic skin injuries and surgical incisions benefit greatly from laser intervention

 

Rehab : bone and muscle injuries and orthopaedic surgeries often require additional rehabilitation solutions. Laser therapy provides a non-invasive treatment for quicker recovery.
The K Lazer clinics are being run by Anicare Laser Solutions with appointments booked by calling us on  01653 618303.
