How it all started...
How it all started...
It was the meeting of minds one Covid lockdown day. After weighing several rescue equines, thoughts and discussions led to how much we benefit as carers and owners knowing that our horses weights are monitored carefully. So why can't all horse owners have the same benefits? and in-turn how it assists other equine professionals, from vets to nutritionist, trainers to farriers, to equine body workers, the list is endless.
With that we decided to establish the Equine Weigh Team....
Who we are...
Who we are...
Between us, we have over 70 years of equine experience and have owned and/or cared for well over 1,000 equines, all of varying breed, size and age.
Chris is a founder and trustee of a well established animal rescue charity and has been caring for horses, ponies and donkeys with severe weight issues, not just from being under weight but also through obesity. He has experience in working closely with vets and welfare professionals to bring these horses back to health.
Claire has owned several horses with varying medical issues
from Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS), Laminitis and Cushings
(PPID), all of which have an effect on the horses ability to control
weight. She also has experience in feeding, training and
competing these types of horses.
"Monitoring weight gain or loss and feeding
accordingly has become a life obsession to us both."
