EQUINE ATYPICAL MYOPATHY

2017 is going so quick I can't believe we're in Autumn already! Atypical Myopathy (sycamore poisoning) is a disease close to my heart as my horse Clover had the disease in 2012 so it's important to me that all our clients understand the disease and what they can do to prevent it, I don't want anyone to have to experience it for themselves.

SHOULD YOU BUY A HORSE WITH A SARCOID?

Sarcoids should never be underestimated. My professor at University once told me the only thing predictable about a sarcoid is they are unpredictable!

Approximately 8% of horses in the UK suffer from sarcoids and while they rarely lead to death they can become so debilitating that euthanasia is necessary.
