Fauresmith 2018 was a huge success! Have a look at some of the amazing pictures taken at the event.
This is a foal we are hand raising. We notice the foal’s skin condition started to worsen over time. The Skin became scaly and hard on its back, very similar to Rain Scold. It started losing a lot of hair over the whole body.

Horses are simple stomached (monogastric) herbivores whose digestive system requires them to be trickle feeders I.e. to eat small amounts in an almost continual manner.
The digestive tract is essentially a long tube of varying diameter which begins with the mouth and ends at the anus. It is more than32 metres long and in order to accommodate this in the body ,the intestines loop backwards and forwards on themselves several times.
With everyone winding down for a relaxing holiday season, we decided to catch up with showjumper and commentator, Aidan Lithgow, for inside tips on products, training and setting resolutions for the new season. Although this year has not been the best for Lithgow due to injury, 2019 is looking much more promising due to a very promising line of horses, and the optimistic excitement of a new season.

In order to compete at registered events, competition horses need to have their annual vaccinations, which need to be administered and documented on your horse’s passport by a veterinarian. In South Africa, these vaccinations include the African Horse Sickness (AHS) vaccination, and the Equine Influenza vaccine. Some of us may still be uncertain as to when it is safe to vaccinate, what vaccinations should be used for AHS, as well as what precautions can be taken during the anticipated AHS outbreak season.
