THE TWO BIGGEST EQUINE HEALTH PROBLEMS
ARE...PREVENTABLE
The results from our 2018 Equine Health Survey have underlined that a large proportion of UK horse owners face two major problems trying to keep their horses healthy in their stables during the wintermonths – respiratory illness and hoof disease.

Hoof infection/ disease 79
Nearly 40% of the 908 respondents reported that the horses they cared for had suffered a health problem that had required veterinary treatment or time off being ridden, or both, during the previous six wintermonths.
Of those owners, 120 had called in the vet to treat respiratory problems ranging from mild to severe andmore than 80 had to call the vet or farrier to treat hoof infection or disease.
The 908 owners who took part in the second annual BEDMAX Equine Health Survey in April also confirmed that almost 80% of their horses spend at least 12 hoursout of every 24 in their stables.

Toomany horses are suffering and too many owners are paying hefty vet’s bills because of diseases that can be prevented by using the right bedding in stables.
It has long been recognised that keeping horses in stables for long periods increases the risk of health problems. BEDMAX believes that the results of both this latest and the previous 2017 surveys suggests that the two main health threats are directly related to or caused by the use of poor quality bedding in the stable.
