We are pleased to announce that we are now working closely with Ebor Vale Riding Club and are their nominated emergency vet.

As a nominated emergency vet, this means that for all the events they hold throughout the year, which are generally at Thornton House Farm, Port Royal Equestrian Centre, or at the Ebor Vale Riding Club field near Everingham, we are the vet on call for all their members and any visitors attending their events.

Lucy Jordan, EVRC Secretary, said ‘we all know how important it is to us to have the best of care for our horses.  The club is delighted to have emergency vet support from Station House.  Station House is highly regarded in the area, knowing their experience is available to our members and guests at our events gives us all great peace of mind.’

We look forward to building on our existing relationship with Ebor Vale Riding Club and their members.

Best practice for managing horses in the heat of summer

This year we are seeing soaring summer temperatures which means we need to be much more careful with our horses and we may need to adapt their routines accordingly.

Dr David Marlin has issued a best practice guidelines which you can view here.

All horses are at risk, but some are more at risk including : young horses, older horses, overweight horses, heavy/large horses, and those with health issues such as asthma or cardiac disease, cushings and colic prone horses.

The guidelines identifies how to recognise heatstroke/heat exhaustion in your horse and how to implement rapid cooling.

Our team are here 24 hours should you have any concerns over heat stroke in the forthcoming heatwave – call us on 01209 823717.

Managing heatstroke in pets

This year we are seeing soaring summer temperatures which means we need to be much more careful with our pets and we may need to adapt their routines accordingly.

And although the temperature has cooled a bit in the last couple of days, the heatwave is set to return over the weekend.

The danger of our canine companions and horses developing heat stroke is real. Heat stroke is not solely the result of dogs being left in cars, it can be exercise-induced too.  The same for horses.
With dogs you need to cool them down and we recommend you do this by putting them in a bath, lying them on wet towels, keep pouring water on them, using fans to help cool them down.
With horses their behaviour can become quite unpredictable.  They might kick out, seem quite wobbly, fidgety or just not with it, and they may go down or throw themselves on the floor at the drop of a hat.  Priority is safety for all concerned, so you may need to sedate them to stop them causing themselves or you any injury.  When they are calm we recommend you keep throwing water over them (buckets or hose pipe) – no need to scrape it off, just keep the water coming! If possible (and safe) take their temperature.

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!

Binky & Boysie
