Good luck to everyone at HOYS this week!
HOYS. and the Royal International Horse Show are probably the two most prestigious shows in the horsey calendar and it is a dream to get there.
The atmosphere is something special- the wall of heat and sound as you walk in to the arena is incredible!
Make the most of your experience and enjoy every minute- remember, it’s every horse-person’s dream!

In the week leading up to HOYS I thought it would be helpful to remind everyone about drug or banned substance cross-contamination from one bucket to another.
When lots of feeds are being prepared and some ponies or horses are on medication for certain conditions it is vital that these horses are fed using the same buckets to prevent inadvertently “medicating” a competition horse or pony.
Colour-coded buckets are useful; maybe using a red bucket for all horses receiving medication or ensuring the same horse had the same bucket by labelling them. Make sure the label cannot fall off otherwise accidents may happen!
Also check all the supplements you are using to get your horse in tip-top condition are legal. It’s easy to fall foul of banned substances in calmers such as tiny amounts of substances of valerian root!!
Now is the time to check……

Tooth removal is never easy in horses but it is particularly difficult for the more caudal/aboral teeth at the back of the mouth.
Careful loosening to break down the periodontal ligaments with molar separators and elevators make the extraction much easier.
Using a fulcrum to create a lever arm and put more force on the tooth once the ligaments have been separated is vital too. However, there is limited room at the back and sometimes the tooth has to be pulled toward the tongue.
Care and time along with lots of patience are the key techniques!!
