Volta has one foot 1 cm bigger than the other which we shall keep a close eye on in his next trimming. His neck is changing shape and looks longer and thinner. In May we shall re measureall the measurements again and see what areas seem to change the most? He has been wormed now on April 1st so he will not be due for another 6-8 weeks. Paddocked horses need to be wormed every 6-8 weeks but stabled horses only every 3 months and because Volta will now be going out into a paddock he will need to be re done in 6-8 weeks. We gave Volta an “All Wormer” this time to kill all the important parasites such as tapeworms or bots. We shall rotate the brand of his wormer because we have always found best results by NOT using the same one every time to prevent the worms becoming resistant to the paste. We also never under dose!
HANDY THOUGHTS”
Be happy with small successes.
Even after the horse has learned its lesson, review every so often.
On May 1st stay tuned for up loaded footage , new pictures , why not have a guess what his weight will be by the 1st May to win great prizes.
