World Horse Welfare announces webinar series
Sue Dyson will shed light on common unwanted behaviours in horses.

Wednesday Webinars return for third winter season.

World Horse Welfare has announced the return of its Wednesday Webinar series, with the first three titles revealed.

The webinars, which take place on Zoom, are free to attend. For those who cannot access Zoom, they can be viewed as Facebook Live sessions, and will be uploaded to YouTube afterwards.

'Myth busting: is my horse being a pain or in pain?' is set to kickstart the new series. In the session, Sue Dyson and Rosa Verwijs will dispel some common myths on undesirable horse behaviours, considering what owners and riders may have missed when attempting to resolve these.

This first session will take place on Wednesday 30 November at 7pm.

Following this, the next webinar will be held on Wednesday 14 December with Pippa Funnell and Ailsa Waites on 'Balancing the needs of the horse with the pressure of competition'.

On Wednesday 4 January 2023, Lucy Grieve, Ruth Court and Rachel Andrews will present on 'Cutting costs, not care'. 

Following the presentations, Zoom participants will be able to take part in a Q and A session. To join the session, click here.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
