When a horse is very reactive to having shoes nailed on, especially when it is quiet and compliant for all the rest of the tasks involved in shoeing, doesn't that beg the question WHY? And if glueing a shoe on instead is a much gentler process and leaves the horse passive and calm, that becomes a conversation.

So come and join us and as always, our conversation snakes its way through this challenging topic.

And if you can spare us just a bit less than an hour we'd love to have you along! So pull up a chair or keep your eyes on the road and we hope you enjoy!

Sam wants the horses in her care to be able to explore, express themselves and ask the questions they need to.

Claire Shand may be marketing director of Westgate Labs but this is no sales pitch!

Westgate Labs was founded it seems by looking at trying to help us manage the parasite burdens in our equine friends from a different perspective, founded in 1999 Westgate asked the question, "Do we need to worm so regularly"? instead lets test first to see what's there and then make a plan for your horse as an individual.

This conversation is so packed out with information it had our heads spinning as Claire shared knowledge and experience with us in spade fulls.

So please do come and join us and stay safe as you do and we hope you get as much from this as Matthew and Mark have as well as enjoying it too!
