September sees the launch of Back to School with Bedmax, a month-long campaign designed to help horse owners, grooms and anyone responsible for horses refresh their knowledge of horse health, stable hygiene and good stable management.
For freelance grooms, providing the best possible care doesn’t stop at feeding, turning out and mucking out. The environment horses spend their time in can have a significant impact on their health and wellbeing, particularly as they begin spending more time stabled through the autumn and winter.
Air quality, dust, ventilation, forage, bedding and ammonia levels all play a part. Understanding these factors can help grooms make informed decisions and ensure the horses in their care are kept in a clean, comfortable and healthy environment.
As part of the campaign, Bedmax has created a new educational article covering the key issues around stable health and hygiene, followed by a 10-question multiple-choice quiz to put your knowledge to the test.
And there’s an incentive to take part!
Everyone who completes the quiz will receive a small free gift, as well as being entered into the September prize draw, with four lucky winners each receiving 10 bales of their preferred Bedmax bedding.
Whether you work independently, care for horses on different yards or provide regular freelance grooming services, it’s a great opportunity to brush up on your stable management knowledge and make sure the horses in your care are getting the healthiest environment possible.
Back to School with Bedmax — because there’s always more to learn when it comes to caring for horses.
