Equine News, Information & Events

Uveitis is defined as inflammation of the uvea, one of the layers of the eye. This layer contains most of the blood supply to the eye and includes three structures: the iris (the part of the eye that determines the colour of the eye), the ciliary body and the choroid.

The summer heat can be dangerous to horses, especially when itis made worse by high humidity. Horses can become dehydrated, lethargic an
d generally reluctant to work.

The spring grass is starting to grow rapidly and we’re experiencing sunny days and cold nights, during which the sugars in the grass increase significantly and pose a serious risk to horses that are susceptible to laminitis.

With the start of spring we see the foaling season begin, this is such an exciting time in the Equine Calendar. Our vet Emily
Bowcock BVSc MRCVS outlines the best preparation, how to manage a successful foaling and what to look out for in an
emergency.
