Respecting the 2 minute Silence – Wednesday 11th November 2020 11 a.m

On the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour we will respect the 2-minute silence. We’re not ignoring you, we’re respecting the sacrifices made for us.

Remembrance Day – 11-11-2020 (Remembrance Sunday 08-11-2020)

Remembrance Day had its inception in 1919 following the signing of the Armistice Agreement to end World War I (1914 – 1918) on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour.  At that time, it was called “Armistice Day”; armistice is Latin for “to stand (still) arms”.   With the advent of World War II (1939 – 1945), the” commemoration was moved to a Sunday. Remembrance Sunday came into being following a Bill in parliament in 1956 which is why we have the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph on the second Sunday in the month. With a two-minute silence, we reflect on and are reminded of the sacrifices that have been made by soldiers and civilians who fought in the two world wars as well as other conflicts.

Mud, mud (not so) glorious mud…

Our equine friends can be troubled by a condition colloquially called “Mud Fever” usually affecting the pastern and heel area.  As with all things to do with health (animals or humans for that matter), “Mud Fever” isn’t really as straightforward as it sounds!  For starters, horses can get the condition without standing in mud!  Mud Fever is sometimes also known as grease heel, cracked heel and dew poisoning (seen in the summer when early morning dew is followed by hot sun).

Equine Pastern Dermatitis” is the medical term for “Mud Fever”.  Causes include being continually exposed to wet and cold conditions or working out in sandy arenas as these circumstances may contribute to damage of the protective barrier of the skin. Such damage can allow bacteria that thrive in muddy wet conditions (commonly, but not solely, Dermatophilus Congolensis) to enter and cause skin irritation, scabs, and sores.  But the horse may have an infestation of tiny mites like those that cause scabies in humans.  Fungal infections rather than bacteria may be the cause but even more complicated (although fortunately much less common) is the possibility of a disorder of the horses’ immune system or photosensitivity.  Easily avoided potential causes of this painful condition include excessive washing and scrubbing, and poor environmental conditions.

Prevention is better (but not necessarily easier) than cure: 

  • Check your horses’ legs thoroughly every day
    • Catching any problems earlier means it should be easier and quicker to treat
    • Consider clipping out feathery legs to facilitate checks
  • Remove mud and dirt using a soft brush rather than excessive washing and scrubbing
  • If you do wash your horses’ legs, ensure you rinse and dry thoroughly afterwards
  • Keep your horse on dry and clean bedding
  • If you can, bring your horse in off the pasture each day to allow legs to dry
  • If you can’t bring your horse in, good pasture management is the order of the day
    • change the point at which you enter the field / rotate the paddocks
    • move the water trough regularly
    • cover muddy areas with straw (although straw and sand are both known to irritate horses’ legs too)
    • use of electric fencing to prevent your horse standing in muddy areas of the field
  • Waterproofing your horses’ (clean and dry) legs using barrier creams before exercise or turn out
  • Protective boots may help keep legs clean, dry and mud free but ensure these do not cause damage to the skin barrier by rubbing / ill fitting

Treatment of Mud Fever will depend on the cause of your horse’s problem. Simple and first line treatment will involve cleansing the affected area with an appropriate solution to soften and remove the scabs, keeping the area clean and thoroughly dry.  Scabs need attending to every 3 – 4 days as doing them more frequently can make the skin too dry.  Veterinary input may be necessary if the scabs are large as sedation may be required.  If the condition persists or worsens as your horse may require tests to diagnose the correct cause and/or prescription medications to help them heal.

                          Helping Hedgehogs in Trouble

                          The numbers of hedgehogs are difficult to capture accurately as they are nocturnal solitary creatures but there is evidence that they have been declining steadily with headhogstreet.org quoting that “We appear to have lost over half our hedgehogs from our countryside since the millennium alone and have lost a third from our towns and cities.”

                          Two main things to think about:

                          1. Their weight as they go into hibernation – if less than 600grams the hedgehog will not survive. These docile creatures are easy to pick up in a towel or with a pair of gloves (despite their 5,000 to 7,000 quills – which are neither barbed nor poisonous). Weigh them and set them on their way if they are 600g or more but if they weigh less than that, either feed them up or hand them in for others to take care of them (e.g. the British Hedgehog Preservation Society Tel: 01584 890 801 / Leicester Animal Rescue 0116 259 9399 / Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust 0116 262 9968 / Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital 0795 128 5366)
                          2. Ensuring you don’t set fire to them when you light your bonfires – this is the type of environment they love to make nests in. If possible, stack your bonfire material in one place and move it to make the fire on a different site the day you intend to light it. If you don’t have the time or inclination to do this, please just check your bonfire by lifting material gently with a broom handle and shine a light to check for the little creatures. 

                          Hedgehogs like to eat insects, worms, centipedes, snails, frogs, and snakes so they can be a useful ally in the garden.  They are also good climbers and swimmers so, if your pond doesn’t have steep sides they can easily get in and out and swim about.  These delightful critters benefit from some water, food and shelter.
