Couldn't agree more... 'Heads together makes light work' 💪🙏👏

[Lucy Grieve @LucyGrieveVet]

Love this group! Impressive bunch of people working tirelessly for better equine welfare in the UK 🤩🤩🤩

[Andie McPherson @RedwingsAndie]

Such an excellent reminder! Don't forget to 'know your horse's normal' temperature checking is not just for the sick horse, it's a vital part of routine care to prevent spread of disease.🌡🤒

[Lucy Grieve @LucyGrieveVet]

We must protect our horses to avoid the welfare impact this has on them, and the cost and inconvenience of having to lock down yard, testing, treating and cancellation of competitions, etc. Vaccination is key! 🗝️ 🐴💉 🏇

[Andie McPherson @RedwingsAndie]

Great to reflect on the intersection between social inclusion and horse welfare. Check out @RedwingsHS Sounds of the Sanctuary podcast S2E5 for insights from Travellers and Vets on our Welfare Awards at Appleby Horse Fair or watch: https://t.co/zm7xawY4Uw

[Malcolm Morley @MalcM]

If you work in equine practice, read this important paper looking at the Welfare of Traveller & Gypsy owned Horses in UK & Ireland. Great to meet up with author Marie Roland, @RedwingsAndie and Director of Research & Policy @horsetrust, Jan Rogers. https://t.co/tMy5ek5su1 🧵1/3

[Andie McPherson @RedwingsAndie]

@MalcM @horsetrust Great to discuss research findings by @MarieRo93567062 and @RedwingsHS partnership working with stakeholders and horse owners at Appleby Horse Fair. Horses are sure to benefit from social inclusion and building trust where owners feel vulnerable to judgement and criticism.

[Andie McPherson @RedwingsAndie]

Inspired by @iCatCare presentation today at the @HorseCharity annual conference. Compelling example of how to present species needs coming into conflict - without blaming or shaming.

[Malcolm Morley @MalcM]

UK Equine flu outbreaks in the last 12 days compared with the previous 7 months. Data from @equiflunet. As highlighted by @BEVAPresident, vaccination and quarantine are key! Check out @BEVA_news biosecurity advice for new yard arrivals https://t.co/xUN8WIL732

It takes confidence & know-how to take a horse's temperature for the 1st time. Temp checking is at the heart of this year's Strangles Awareness Week Campaign. Challenging owners to take resting temp each day & upload to the 'online temp checker'. #TempCheckChallenge #SAW2022
