24.01.2022 Marshmallow toxicity Yesterday our clinic saw a horse with marshmallow toxicity. The plant, if eaten in large quantities, causes neuromuscular tremors. This horse was in a paddock with grass and hay. He chose to eat marshmallow. He has been laying down for a few days but because of circumstances we couldn’t assess him until last night. After treatment he stood up, ate some hay, drank some water, and went right back to eating the Marshmallow. I have seen starving horses in p...addocks up to their shoulders in Marshmallow and they have not eaten the plant. Why these horses choose to eat marshmallow some years and not others is a Mystery. Sadly, this horse passed away last night despite rigourous treatment. Now the other horse in the paddock is starting to show similar signs. Please contact your farm supply centre for advice on removing this plant. Don’t count on good food and grass to stop them consuming it. See more

14.01.2022 Foaling season is upon us and we are always in need of colostrum. If your mare unfortunately loses her foal, please milk out and freeze the colostrum - it may just save another foal’s life. We are happy to come milk your mare if you are unable to do so.

10.01.2022 Warning new seasons hay can be deadly - change slowly and in small amounts. Round bale toxicosis is real. It’s like a kid in a candy store. Beware

07.01.2022 Teff Hay Many of our clients have asked if they should feed their horse Teff Hay. Here is a report of a scientific evaluation of the product. 1 It has fewer calories than comparable hay in this study. 2 It has fewer minerals and requires supplementation. 3 it is less palatable, but hungry horses will eat it.... 4 The biggie is that it didn't;t reduce either blood glucose, or insulin 5 Despite that it is a reasonable alternative to the traditional hay we feed.
