🐴 🪱Worming & Worm Egg Counts:
Are You Staying One Step Ahead? 🪱🐴

With the warm temperatures and wet conditions we’ve been experiencing recently, parasite larvae can thrive on pasture, increasing the risk of horses picking up a worm burden. This makes now an ideal time to review your horse’s worm control plan.

🌱 Why are Worm Egg Counts (WEC) so important?

Regular worm egg counts help identify whether your horse actually needs worming, allowing for a targeted approach rather than routine treatment. This not only protects your horse’s health but also helps reduce the growing problem of wormer resistance.

A high worm burden can lead to:
❗ Weight loss
❗ Poor coat condition
❗ Reduced performance
❗ Colic and digestive upset
❗ General ill health

✅ Our top tips for parasite control this grazing season:
🔹 Perform regular worm egg counts
( We offer in-house WEC)
🔹 Only worm when necessary based on results and risk assessment
🔹 Remove droppings from paddocks at least twice weekly
🔹Avoid overgrazing and overcrowding fields
🔹 Rotate grazing where possible
🔹 Ensure all horses on the yard follow a sensible parasite control programme

Remember, effective parasite control isn’t just about reaching for a wormer—it’s about using the right treatment at the right time.

📞 If you’re unsure when your horse last had a worm egg count or would like advice on creating a tailored parasite control plan, get in touch with CM Equine Vets.
CM Equine offer in house WEC’s 🪱 to support keeping your horses healthy, happy and protected throughout the grazing season.

We feel so lucky every year that these beautiful fun birds come back and nest at AmRose!
This video is in one of the shelters 🥰

🌍 Did You Know? 🐦

Every year, swallows make one of the most remarkable journeys in the natural world, migrating between South Africa and the UK.

These tiny birds travel up to 10,000 km (6,200 miles) each way, crossing deserts, mountains, and seas to return to the same breeding grounds year after year. Despite weighing less than 25 grams, they navigate thousands of miles with incredible accuracy.

Swallows arrive in the UK during spring to breed and raise their young, before heading back to the warmer climates of southern Africa for the winter.

Their epic migration is a powerful reminder of the extraordinary endurance and instinct found in nature.

🐴Equine Flu-Is Your Horse Protected?🐴

Equine Influenza (Equine Flu) is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can spread rapidly between horses — even those with limited contact with others.

Signs to watch for include:
✔️ High temperature
✔️ Coughing
✔️ Nasal discharge
✔️ Lethargy
✔️ Loss of appetite

With an increase in confirmed cases, we are recommending 6-monthly Equine Flu vaccinations for horses most at risk, including those that compete regularly.

Regular vaccination not only helps protect your horse but also reduces the risk of outbreaks within the wider equine community.

We particularly recommend discussing 6-monthly vaccinations if your horse:

🔹 Competes regularly
🔹 Is elderly, young, or clinically vulnerable

📞 Call 01628 950700 to book a vaccination appointment or to discuss your horse’s preventative healthcare plan with our team.

Have you ever noticed a horse lying down while the others stand nearby? 🐴

It’s a common sight in healthy horse herds and usually nothing to worry about. Horses do lie down to rest and enter deep sleep, something they can’t fully achieve while standing. Because lying down makes them more vulnerable, herd mates often remain standing around them.

This behavior is part of a horse’s natural survival instinct. The standing horses stay alert and keep watch while their companion rests, creating a sense of safety within the herd. Later, the roles may switch, allowing each horse a chance to relax.

It’s a beautiful reminder of how horses rely on one another, using trust, teamwork, and instinct to stay safe and healthy. ❤️
