25.01.2022 I was just sent this pic from one of my fabulous Brand Ambassadors to show how wonderful this little show pony is looking on his Inside Out Equine Health diet and Performance Plus minerals. His coat looks amazing, but also check out those teeny most adorable hoof boots EVER! I can barely cope with how cute they are!

19.01.2022 XMAS CLOSEDOWN DATES INSIDE OUT EQUINE HEALTH will be 'closing' from Friday 18th December to Monday 11th January. However any orders made through the website will still be shipped during this time :) ... If you do need to make an order prior to Christmas it's probably a good idea to do it now, while the postal and courier services aren't completely overrun (yet).

18.01.2022 I've been getting a lot of these messages with photos lately and I will NEVER, EVER get sick of them! <3 "Hi Erika, here's a photo of my glowing girls. The one on the right hasn't been rugged or washed in 3 years and is only fed 30g Essentials in a handful of lucerne chaff. The one on the left has been unrugged for about a month and not washed since Feb, she gets the same "

06.01.2022 *** IS THERE A LINK BETWEEN COLIC AND WEATHER CHANGE? *** I stumbled across this article the other day and thought I’d rephrase the abstract and share it as I found it interesting. I know the many vets have told me that colic episodes increase with weather change. I actually thought that colic and weather change makes a lot of sense. Horses don’t cope well with change and certainly a sudden change of diet is a big cause of colic. It makes sense that weather can cause this too...? The University of Pennsylvania Field Service medical records were searched for 12 full years and plotted against weather data. This showed that weather changes were not found to be statistically associated with a diagnosis of colic. Interestingly though, the likelihood of colic diagnosis increased with increasing latitude, not good news for those of us in Victoria, worse for those in Tasmania! Horses were more likely to be diagnosed with colic in autumn, spring and summer compared to winter. Stallions were 48% less likely to colic compared to mares (it didn’t mention geldings) and quarter horses were 32% less likely to colic compared to Thoroughbreds and Arabians . This study provides evidence that changes in barometric pressure was not a contributing risk factor for colic, although seasons with changing weather and latitude may play a role. I feel that this last part makes sense as I would expect to see colic increase when we get the first big spring flush of grass and the horses gorge on all that sugary starchy lushness!
