Winter Training Series: 01
2022-11-14 19:30 - 21:30 UTC | Tranwell Equestrian, Tranwell, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 6AF, United Kingdom
We believe that good training is key to good welfare. Our winter series is designed to help you bring out the best in horses – by understanding how they learn.

Session 1: HOW IS YOUR STOP AND REVERSE? Pushy? Bargy? Can’t stand still? No rein back?

Then this session is for you.

We use modern, science-based techniques behind the art of teaching a horse to respond with confidence and ease. These lessons are essential in the training of all horses – not just those destined for dressage, showing or competition.

Join us to discover how horses really learn – and the pleasure and connection to be found. The results are so rewarding when they understand your question and offer you the answer you’re looking for.

Tickets are £15 each, limited to 50 – and includes a ticket for our ‘Win £5k’ raffle.

Book now to avoid disappointment.

Any queries please email: events@here4horses.org.uk or call: 07494 931744

Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome
2022-06-13 08:00 - 12:00 | Farnley Farm, Hunwick, Crook, Co Durham, DL15 0RB, United Kingdom
EGUS (Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome)
It is now believed that an astonishing 50 – 90% of horses suffer from stomach ulcers. The condition is found in all types of horses and ponies but is more common in those who compete.
Research has proven that exercise increases stomach acid production and also decreases blood flow to the digestive tract. Add to this, the fact that when horses exercise, the acidic fluid in the stomach splashes onto the exposed stomach lining and the likelihood of damage increases.
The majority of horses with gastric ulcers do not show outward signs and can appear completely healthy.
However, the following issues can indicate a problem:

Unsettled behaviour when cinching the girth up
Poor appetite
Anxious behaviour
Listless
Decreased performance
Reluctance to train – tail swishing when leg applied for instance.
Poor body condition or losing weight
Dull coat
Low grade colic

At Here4Horses we have encountered problems in a wide range of horses.
We are very keen to make a difference to horses and ponies potentially suffering from this debilitating condition. We therefore intend to run a special, week-long clinic where Gastroscopy will be offered at subsidised rates.
Owners will need to consult with their own vet first and be happy for us to use the data collected to guide further educational work planned on this subject.
The clinic will start Monday June 13th and continue to Thursday June 16th if there is enough interest.
Horses will need to travel in for the procedure.
Please call 07494 931744 for further information and an application form.
