A Passion for Racehorses

by Aimee Cayless

with the way he's going at Elementary having won at his first BD outing since September in front of a List 1 judge no less! He has now got the scores he needs to go to the championships and Biscuit won't be far behind him.

O

ver the winter months we have mostly been concentrating on giving the horses some time off from competition after a busy summer season. We have been focusing on training and addressing any issues we have with each individual horse in order to give them the best start come spring when their work will pick up again.

With my boys we have gone through the process of Hoof x-rays and gait analysis in order to rebalance their feet, now that they are working up the levels and establishing their BD careers. This involves working with the vet, farrier and physio in order to give them the best support during this process, I will go into more detail further this process in along in this series.

The boys have now started going out competing again with the aim of getting them qualified for the ROR Winter Dressage Championships at the end of April.

Wally has already gained his qualification and I'm very pleased

We also had two new additions to the yard before Christmas. Two ex-racehorses that have joined us to continue rehabilitation and to start the retraining process. Firstly Rita, a 7 year old who last ran in 2023; she is a sweet mare and the focus with her is to gain condition and strength, whilst continuing her education from racehorse to riding horse.

Since her arrival in December we have been pleased with her progress; she has gained weight and is starting to develop a topline. She moves well and we think that in future she may well be a ROR dressage prospect. She had a visit from her physio a few weeks ago and they fed back that she has improved since their last visit, which is always great to hear.

The Second new arrival was Teddy. He is an 8 year old 16.2 ex-racer and we have been tasked with his rehabilitation over the winter months. Myself and Mieke, who has taken on the role of riding this lovely boy, embarked on a methodical journey to re-establish Teddy into a disciplined work routine following a hind limb injury sustained during the previous spring. We started with groundwork and lunging, we have progressed to flatwork and hacking. We have also made some adjustments to Teddy's tack, featuring a change in saddle, bit and noseband,

which were implemented to ensure optimal support and comfort during our sessions. Our sessions expanded to encompass entertaining hacks, methodical trot, and canter work within the confines of the school. We focussed on strengthening his left rein through dedicated trotting exercises and worked on increasing his balance, while keeping training fun and varied. Over time we have begun to introduce exercises such as trot poles, lateral work and now even some jumping. We are very pleased with his progress as he is now looking much stronger and happier in his work and we look forward to getting him out this spring.

BOOTING ON IN TO 2024 - THE GAMES ARE ON. eam OliverGames has launched into 2024 with aplomb and exciting new collaborations beckon.

T

A new sponsorship could be in the offing for 2024.

Sofia is thrilled with this potential developing association. Lips are sealed until the signatures have hit the dotted line. Never count the chickens before they’ve chirruped “Cheep, Cheep!” And fluffed their downy yellow feathers.

Just before the dawn of 2024, Cadillac moved up into 18th place in the World Rankings. A huge achievement.

Without wonderful sponsors and their support it would be so much more difficult to attain this level and stature within such a demanding sport. Not wishing to offend anybody but this is not Darts. If only the financials were as rewarding!

Sponsors help to make it happen. It is the kudos of being capable of drawing the attention of dovetailing brands. Sponsorship is a partnership, a working relationship, and Sofia aims high with her social media platforms. A younger potential demographic for brands she works with equates to a few TikTok Tutorials. This platform is the ‘go to’ for younger equestrians and a minefield for most of the older ones. Sofia’s expertise, creativity and proficiency is invaluable as a sponsored rider.

For riders wishing to pursue sponsorship, it is vital to be able to provide a catalogue of activity, success and engagement. It is not a matter of just taking.

It is a two way bridlepath, and riders have to prove themselves. As riders move up the ranks and agegroups they very often employ someone specifically to manage this for them. However to reach that point the pudding has to be eaten and the monies earned. And the sponsorships solidified to guarantee the income for this luxury. Sofia is determinedly on this path whilst managing to juggle academia, mock exams, interviews for college placements, training and family life.

The trips abroad are now beginning to stack up.

The first foray over the Channel was to Le Mans where Team Games experienced the highs and lows of the sport. Cadillac and Sofia danced their

socks off in the gloom of a receding French winter, with Cadillac feeling stronger and increasingly confident. A score of 69.148 left them in 7th place.

Their placing would have been higher, but one judge who has a preference for a different type of pony scored lower than the other two. This is no criticism. It is an opinion that all judges, riders, trainers and owners are entitled to.

Twelve minutes after the last test, the Prize Giving was called. In those few minutes Cadillac became hopping lame. Sofia leapt off, and as chance would have it, the legendary JoJo in her inimitable style had made a new acquaintance. One who proved to be invaluable considering the language barrier that had to be overcome.

This heaven sent lady has an Eventing son based in Le Lion D’Angers. She summoned a blacksmith who arrived within the hour. Pressure point testing with hoof testers revealed that Cadillac had not only trodden on himself, but was a shred shoe clamped. The rescuing blacksmith shaved away part of the shoe, alleviating the pressure. The relief was almost instantaneous and with lots of cold hosing, the problem would have been undetectable at the trot-up. Despite getting sounder by the hour, Sofia made the decision to not present and to therefore fight on full power another day. The required three marks that are so elusive for qualification will be fought for in Belgium in a couple of weeks’ time.

Whilst at Le Mans, Sofia’s world continues to spin.

News was received that Sofia had an unconditional offer for The Ladies College in Cheltenham, following on from a successful interview before leaving for France. She was also the sole recipient in her year to be awarded the Academic Half Colour, missing the prestigious ceremony because she was travelling in the lorry, nose deep in her books.

Sofia’s response to the news of the College Offer was “Hoorah, I can now fail all my GCSE’s and still be accepted!” Katie’s firm retort was “NOT if you want to carry on riding”. This is perilous territory.

Sofia would sell Cadi before failing her GCSE’s.

THAT is never going to happen.

Another skill that Sofia has is that of ‘Washer Woman’. So if all else fails, she does have that to fall back on. On the journey to France, JoJo was determined to minimise disruptions and so

6

March/April 2024

deemed it a wise decision to fill the lorry with fuel to brimming. The magical figure was £300.

Unfortunately the lorry disagreed and spat back with vengeance, despite JoJo’s coaxing. All over her beautiful designer jacket.

Sofia leapt into action, stripped the jacket from JoJo’s shoulders and plunged it into a bucket of water, and gave it a good swish around with some handy washing powder. This had to suffice until the destination was reached, whereupon Sofia again leapt into action, utilising the wheelbarrow as a washing receptacle. “I did spray out of the wheelbarrow first!” After a good soaking, the prognosis was good, and the jacket has survived.

The famed wheelbarrow was called into action again when Sofia managed to fall off her scooter in all her competition kit. Katie handily had a washing line and clothes pegs on board on which to dry the items. The classy lorry park area was beginning to resemble a travellers site. Minus the shell suits.

Only the outward facing labels on the clothing prevented this assumption. No Fila or Adidas here.

However the Oliver Games trio did have to endure wearing the polyester mix over-trousers for three days. A Godsend. As long as you avoid naked flames.

Amidst all this moisture things inevitably got a bit chilly and uncomfortable. With miserable weather and damp clothing everywhere, any form of extra heating would be welcome in the event of a repeat debacle. As Sofia wryly commented “Next time, we’re bringing the Dachsies Max and Talula. The four legged hot water bottles”.

As for the upcoming weeks? Immediate competition plans include a trip to Belgium, as well as domestic visits to Myerscough and then Addington.

Dachshunds firmly on board. Just in case.

Equine Sarcoids – Consistently Unpredictable

by Tom Righton. HNVG Director, BVSc, MRCVS

arcoids have posed a treatment challenge for veterinary surgeons for as long as they have been recognised, due in no small part to their unpredictable behaviour and variety of clinical presentations. Consequently, no single treatment is reliable in dealing with all sarcoids and, there is a wide range of options available; every case is different requiring assessment and careful consideration of all the factors before embarking on treatment. That said, the introduction of surgical lasers is proving a very useful resource with some significant advantages in certain cases, although an understanding of the different types and behaviour of sarcoids is essential in their selection.

S

Sarcoids are the most common type of equine skin tumour, estimates of their prevalence vary, a recent study reported a frequency of 5.8% within the population of horses in Great Britain. They are locally invasive and aggressive, however they do not metastasise to internal organs. Their behaviour is variable, some progress rapidly while others remain unchanged for a lengthy period then suddenly start growing, frequently after trauma or irritation to the sarcoid. Inappropriate treatments and home remedies can also lead to their rapid spread and growth. Rarely, spontaneous resolution occurs and thereafter, the horse will usually be immune to further sarcoids. Unfortunately, this starkly contrasts with horses that are treated; even with successful treatment a horse which has had sarcoids remains at risk of developing more at other sites. Sarcoids may develop anywhere on the horse’s skin; most commonly seen on the chest and axilla, groin and sheath and, on the face around the eyes and muzzle. These areas are frequently bothered by flies, and it is thought that they may have a role in the spread of sarcoids across the horse. For horse owners sarcoids have a significant economic impact, treatment can be costly and ongoing, can require time away from work or competition, horses with severe extensive lesions may not be able to work and, horses are devalued significantly at sale and sometimes failed at pre purchase examinations due to the presence of sarcoids.

The role of lasers Surgical diode lasers are increasingly being used in veterinary practice as a treatment modality, this is likely due to the increased availability of the technology and, an increase in the evidence base supporting their use in appropriate cases.

There are three main types of laser currently in use; CO2 lasers heat up the water within the tissue causing less trauma to surrounding tissue, diode and Nd:YAG lasers are both delivered via a fibre, and achieve better coagulation of blood vessels. Laser light provides a highly focused beam of energy, which generates intense heat when it interacts 8

March/April 2024

with tissue causing vaporisation of the tissue at which it is directed. Blood vessels are coagulated leading to a bloodless surgical field.

Traditional surgical excision with a scalpel blade and closure of the wound by stitching the wound edges back together has been associated with poorer success rates, it is thought that sarcoids seed tumour cells into the wound bed as they are removed, frequently leading to regrowth at the scar site.

With laser surgery these cells are vaporised as the sarcoid is removed, and this is likely one of the reasons why excision by laser surgery is proving more successful than traditional excision. The energy provided by laser light is extremely accurate and can be directed with great precision, the energy dissipates quickly within tissue causing reduced post- operative swelling and pain, compared to thermocautery (in which an electric current is passed through a resistant wire generating heat, which is then applied to the tissue).

Treatment An assessment is made based upon the size, location and number of sarcoids present, and a surgical plan is made.

In many cases the sarcoids can be removed with the horse under standing sedation in combination with local anaesthetic and pain relief. If however, the sarcoids are not accessible or the patient is particularly fractious, it may be necessary to administer a general anaesthetic. The sarcoid is removed along with a minimum of a 1cm margin of healthy surrounding tissue to try to ensure all the root has been removed. The wound will therefore, often appear significantly larger than the sarcoid that was present. It is generally advised that the sarcoid is submitted for histopathology to confirm the diagnosis and, to ensure that surgical margins have been achieved. The wound is left open to heal by granulation, the time taken for healing depends upon the size and location of the wound, however most are typically healed in 4 - 8 weeks.

Many patients will be discharged the same day, while others may spend one night at the surgery if they have had a longer procedure or general anaesthetic. All horses are discharged with a course of anti-inflammatory medication such as phenylbutazone, to help reduce pain and swelling. As long as conditions are not very muddy and there are not lots of flies around, horses are typically turned out for paddock rest as movement helps to reduce post-operative swelling.

Antibiotics are not generally prescribed, the surgical site is given a sterile scrub prior to surgery and the intense heat For the latest news visit www.centralhorsenews.co.uk

establish surgical margins.

After a post-operative check about 7-10 days after surgery, most horses do not need further review and can begin work providing the tack does not interfere with wound healing.

Instances when laser surgery may not be appropriate include perioccular sarcoids, where proximity to the structures of the eye means that surgical margins cannot be achieved.

Malevolent sarcoids covering an extensive area with indistinct margins are often too extensive for the entire area to be treated.

A study by P Compston et al published in 2015 looked at a large number of horses, which had sarcoids treated by laser surgery. It reported that 82% of sarcoids removed did not come back and that in horses which had multiple sarcoids removed, there was no recurrence in 71% of cases. The same study also found that recurrence of the sarcoid at the surgery site was most likely to occur within 6 months. Verrucose sarcoids had higher chances of recurring, possibly due to a wider root network of sarcoid tissue than other sarcoids.

It has been shown that there is a less successful outcome in the treatment of sarcoids in cases that have previously been unsuccessfully treated with home preparations. This may be because interfering with sarcoids unsuccessfully leads to them behaving more aggressively or, that previous treatments disrupt the margins of the sarcoid making it more difficult to

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Tom Righton, HNVG Director, BVSc, MRCVS Tom joined Hook Norton Veterinary Group in 2014 and the Practice Partnership in 2022. Having previously worked in a mixed practice in Worcestershire, Tom joined us to work solely with our Equine Team. Tom has specialist interests in orthopaedic & lameness cases and is one of the key vets for laser surgery and sarcoid removal.

There is currently no one treatment that is safe, effective and practical that can be used in all cases of equine sarcoid. An assessment of the type, size and location of the sarcoid is essential before beginning treatment. Treating sarcoids with non-prescription treatments can lead to rapid change or growth in the sarcoid and, may make future treatments less successful. If in doubt actively monitoring the size and behaviour of the sarcoid before getting a veterinary assessment is preferred.

Laser surgery is a very useful tool in the treatment of a wide range of equine sarcoids, it is generally very well tolerated by horses and has a favourable success rate when compared to many other treatments with relatively few complications however, wound healing can take time.

Tom is also currently studying for his advanced practitioner certificate in Equine Orthopaedics at the University of Liverpool, alongside his work at HNVG. Tom has a young family, and his wife, Lotty, is a Vet in our Small Animal Team. Tom enjoys getting out into the countryside on his road and mountain bikes and following the National Hunt Racing & Point to Point seasons in his spare time.

Spring Feeding G

iven that 1 in 10 horses suffer from laminitis each year, according to The British Horse Society, it is important that horse owners understand how this can be controlled, through management and nutrition.

Firstly, owners should be familiar with the symptoms of laminitis. Symptoms of acute laminitis can be severe and come on quickly. In contrast, a horse with chronic laminitis is likely to show ongoing or relapsing symptoms.

Acute laminitis symptoms • Reluctance to move or turn • Visibly lame with shortened or stiffened strides • Change in behaviour and temperament • Symptoms can be similar to colic • Laminitic stance – leaning backwards onto heels to relieve pressure at the front Chronic laminitis symptoms • Growth rings on hoof (wider at the heel) • Abnormalities of the angle and/or shape of the hoof • Large, cresty neck • Heat in the hoof wall Maintaining fibre levels for these horses is important as this helps to keep the digestive system functioning and healthy and provides a barrier to the

10

March/April 2024

toxins that can contribute to laminitis.

This is why the addition of a low sugar soaked fibre mash can be so beneficial, for example, Speedi-Beet from British Horse Feeds: • has zero starch and only 5% sugar • has a prebiotic effect due to the beet fibre • provides non-heating slow-release energy • can be used as a fibre alternative or forage replacer • can be used as a low calorie fibre alternative • provides hydration, particularly important for those on medication In addition, supporting the horse’s inflammatory cycles is key, given that laminitis is, in simple terms, damage and inflammation of the tissue between the hoof and the underlying coffin bone. Having been used for human health for thousands of years, more recently, Turmeric has been shown to have a positive effect on horses well being. TurmerAid™ from The Golden Paste Company: • contains a unique blend of turmeric, linseed and black pepper to ensure maximum absorption and optimum results.

• is naturally low in sugar • supports the body’s natural inflammation cycles.

• contains ingredients which aid digestion and improve intestinal health • helps boost the integrity of the natural defence mechanisms • supports the microflora which naturally occurs in the stomach

It is worth noting that you should speak to your vet about an appropriate management programme for your horse as this should be done on a caseby-case basis. Keeping an eye on not only your horse’s weight, but also their body condition and temperament is important to get a more accurate picture of their overall health. Speaking to an independent nutritionist after following guidance from a vet can also help you with choosing the right feed for your horse.

BODY CONDITION SCORING

by Charlotte Smith BVMSci MRCVS

K

eeping your horse at a healthy weight can be challenging and requires careful management of their health, diet and exercise regime. Being overweight is highly unfavorable to horses’ welfare and they are at greater risk of concerning health conditions such as arthritis, laminitis and equine metabolic disease (EMS).

Although it can be a challenge to maintain your horses’ weight through changing seasons, a really simple way to monitor their weight is by using a body condition chart. There are two different types of body condition scoring (BCS), one uses a 0-5 scale and the other a 1-9 scale. Often weight tapes are used to assess horses’ weight but these are not very accurate when used alone and they do not account for breed variations, whereas body condition scoring is very easy to do and can give you a more holistic view of your horses’ condition. Body condition scoring doesn’t require the use of any equipment, just your hands, and it should be completed every 2 weeks in combination with weight tapes. This will allow you to build up an accurate picture of your horses’ weight and keep control of fluctuations, especially as the seasons/grass growth changes.

layer of fat and the bones should be felt.

You should be able to lie your hand flat across your horses back, if there is a dip and buildup of fat either side of the spine then this is an indication that your horse is overweight.

3. Hindquarters Your horses’ hips should be seen but not protruding and they should be palpated easily with light pressure The hindquarters should be slightly rounded in shape – an appleshaped hindquarters indicates your horse is overweight The body condition scoring chart 0 – Emaciated a extremely underweight • Extremely thin neck with no muscle of fat coverage.

• No fat can be felt on any areas of the horse.

• Ribs are protruding and easily palpable.

• Bones, pelvis/hips and spine can be easily seen and palpated.

• Tail bone extremely protruded.

• Hindquarters sunken either side of the spine.

• Large gap between hind legs.

The body condition score of your horse influences their life from athletic performance to reproductive health. Therefore, it’s important to consider your horses circumstances when interpreting their body condition score, for example horses that are lactating, pregnant or young have greater energy requirements. This means you will have to give them additional nutritional support in order for their body condition to not fall below 3. If you are struggling to get your horse to lose or gain weight then it is very important for a veterinary surgeon to assess them as there may be an underlying health issue to blame.

How to body condition score horses Body condition scoring is carried out by feeling your horses’ muscle, fat and bone across its body. Body condition scoring should be assessed in three main areas; neck and shoulders, abdomen and hindquarters. The optimum score for each area in a normal horse is between 2.5-3, all horse owners should aim to keep their horses around this score throughout the year. It’s important to understand the difference between feeling fat and muscle. Fat is softer and creases when there are deposits in certain regions such as the crest of the neck; muscle feels much firmer. It is important that when you implement a body condition scoring regime, each time it is completed it should be at the same time and by the same person to achieve the most accurate results.

It’s a good idea to record your horse’s weight and body condition score in a table or graph so you are able to see fluctuations throughout time.

1. Neck and shoulders The nuchal ligament is a tubular structure that runs from the poll to the withers along the top of your horse’s neck. If the area above the nuchal ligament is hard, thickened and not easily manipulated from side to side then this is alarming, especially if your horse is not a stallion. Horses with large crested necks are at increased risk of metabolic diseases such as laminitis.

Run our hands down the shoulder blade, fat pads can be felt in front and behind the shoulder blade.

2. Abdomen When palpating across your horses ribs they should be easily palpable with minimal pressure.

Across your horses’ wither and spine there should be a very thin 12

Horses evolved to graze at ground level on an almost continuous basis, and it’s well known that restricting this natural behaviour can result in various health and behavioural issues. However, the reality is that it’s not always possible to provide 24/7 access to grazing. Eazigrazer hay feeder is the ideal alternative, simulating the natural grazing behaviour that is essential to your horse’s wellbeing. So simple and easy to use, the investment won’t only improve life for your horse. Eazigrazer will also save you time, effort and money, giving you the freedom to enjoy more time with your happy and healthy companion! www.eazigrazer.co.uk

Why Choose Premier Flex HA? Not all equine joint supplements are the same, in fact they differ enormously in the levels of the active ingredients contained in them. A top quality joint supplement should contain not only a good level of Glucosamine which is a relatively cheap ingredient but also high levels of Chondroitin, HA and MSM. Premier Flex HA is possibly the highest spec equine joint supplement today!

“Ok firstly I’m not one to write reviews, but here goes. I sound crazy, but this supplement has me crying with happiness. I can’t even begin to explain how this product has not only changed my horses comfort level but also my mind set. My happy, cheeky and very beautiful cob is back to himself ...Thanks you to whoever developed this product, you will never truly know how much of an impact you have made ?? I hope this works for your horse as well as it has for mine.”

Happy Cob Owner, Lancashire

365 COMPLETE

ONLY £24.95!!

Even the horses

(50 days supply)

365 Complete is a superb high spec balancer that goes far beyond normal vitamin and mineral products. 365 Complete includes every vitamin and mineral a horse needs and these minerals unlike many products are provided in chelated form which makes them far more absorbable. 365 Complete also includes pre and pro-biotics (gut health), MSM (joints, skin, breathing etc) and biotin (feet).

365 Complete helps keep horses in peak condition, the spec on 365 Complete is unsurpassed and yet it is still much cheaper than well known balancers.

“I am not one usually to write about products, but as a HUGE sceptic before I tried it, I just had to drop you a line about 365 Complete. I cannot believe the difference in my 5yo in the short time I have been feeding him 365 Complete, his coat is gleaming, he's so relaxed and

are talking about us!

JUST PURE MAGIC Veri昀ed Amazon Purchase

Veri昀ed Amazon Purchase

This stuff is pure magic, and the horses love it too! I really believe that it has made a real difference. She was quite reluctant to really use her joints when jumping, now she absolutely pings over the jumps with room to spare, and I believe it is to do with this supplement!

My two horses have been on this now for a month. Although they are both fussy eaters, they have eaten this up every day. Usually, I struggle with them when they are having their feet trimmed in the cold and wet weather.

However, they both coped brilliantly on their last trim. Their condition has improved too. I will de昀nitely continue with this product.

what a great 昀nd! love this supplement Veri昀ed Amazon Purchase

Senior Wellbeing+ is absolutely the best 昀nd for my horse Benji. He is an active horse that is sound but also needs some help with retaining condition and weight. He de昀nitely feels better, works better and has an improved top form. I’ve de昀nitely seen an improvement in him and he’s enjoying the bene昀ts :)

( CAREERS )

Welcome to the family

S

huttleworth College’s Equine Centre is a friendly centre where those interested in working with horses can get their first foot in the stirrup.

A professional set up, yet with a family atmosphere, the Equine Centre offers everything a student needs to progress into the world of work with animals.

Rachel Garner, Equine Course Manager says: “We like to make everyone feel welcome and part of our family, this is somewhere where people can fit in and make friends as they progress in our inclusive and supportive environment.

“Our students take part in competitions throughout the year to gain valuable experience in preparing horses for competitions, developing ring-craft skills and high standards of stable management.

“In addition we work regularly with industry professionals to complement what students learn on site.

“This includes our annual Professionals’ Day where students

work with a saddle fitter, a physiotherapist, vet, farrier and nutritionist to learn about horse management and health care. This also illustrates to them the wide range of career opportunities beyond the stable.”

Why use a Society of Master Qualified Saddle Fitter?

Q A

: Why should I use a Society of Master Saddlers Qualified Saddle Fitter to come and check my saddle? : Using a Society of Master Saddlers (SMS) qualified and registered Saddle Fitter is the right choice for your horse’s welfare. Just like other equine professionals a qualified saddle fitter will have undergone years of training and have the necessary experience to ensure the saddle you are using fits both you and your horse.

A qualified saddle fitter is there to help and guide you through the saddle fitting process and when you see the SMS Qualified Saddle Fitters’ logo you are getting the best for your horse. They will have completed in-depth training and gained practical experience over a minimum of three years before sitting their examination to gain the globally respected City & Guilds qualification.

The SMS saddle fitting qualification is the

only qualification run by a non-commercial organisation in the UK. Gaining this qualification isn’t easy and there is a thorough examination process to get through. At training and exam days, the Society can draw on a pool of approximately 30 assessors and lecturers, all of whom are highly experienced saddle fitters who have spent many years in the profession.

These Assessors have all completed formalised assessor training and are totally objective in their decision whether to pass or fail each candidate. Also, the Society’s examination system is Externally Quality Assured by City and Guilds who carry out face to face inspections of its assessment processes.

The training SMS saddle fitters undergo is thorough and includes anatomy and conformation, templating, gait analysis, back palpation, saddle construction and faults, saddle features, flocking to fit, rider assessment, and much more. The SMS stand by its training being so thorough and extensive, after all it is the welfare and comfort of the horse, and the safety of the rider that is crucial.

SMS saddle fitters are trained to follow a set protocol and guide you through the saddle fitting process. They will carry out a full and thorough consultation when they see your horse and will provide the most suitable advice for the horse and rider. Also, for further peace of mind, the SMS has a standalone Liaison Officer if there is cause for complaint.

The SMS would always advise horse owners to do their homework on who they entrust for their saddle advice and fitting.

Once qualified they must attend a refresher course every two years and complete a set level of continued professional development (CPD). All SMS-qualified saddle fitters must abide by a strict code of conduct to remain on the SMS register.

The best place to look is the SMS website (www.mastersaddlers.co.uk) where you will find a list of all registered, qualified saddle fitters.

SMS Qualified Saddle Fitter is there to help and guide you through the whole process
