CEC Newsletter January 2018

• Riders having Lessons at
Countryside Equestrian
Centre – Please remember
that we work on a 24
hour notice period for
Cancellation of Lessons. It
has happened a few times
where riders don’t show
up for their scheduled
riding lesson where the
horse / pony has been
saddled up and is ready to
work. In these events our
instructors WILL NOT
catch up the riding lesson
missed unless in the event
of an EMERGENCY. Our 24
hour notice period enables
the instructor to then book
in another student who
might have missed a lesson
and thus the instructors’
time is not wasted as ALL
our instructors work on
a commission basis with
regards to lessons given.
• Clients: Please remember
if you would like to
discontinue riding lessons
or stabling at CEC we need
to receive one CALENDER
months’ notice / payment
in advance.
Mange in horses:
Mange is the common name given to parasitic skin diseases caused by mites, which cause intense
itching and hair loss in the horse. Mites are most active during the hot dry summer months and
can be found on long grass where they are picked up when contact is made. When the mite
attaches itself to the horses legs it injects a fluid into the horses tissue which causes irritation and
discomfort. The mite will remain on the horses skin for a few days before dropping to the ground
where it then burrows into the soil and matures into a adult after 6 weeks.
There are 5 main types of mange that can affect horses and all require careful and thorough
treatment. Symptoms include:
• Hair loss.
• Itching
• Stamping of the feet.
• Inflammation.
• Small lesions occur that
• begin crusting over within
a day, they are often found
around the horses lower
legs.
