Field Notes S2E3: The #TempCheckChallenge

October 24, 2022 • Redwings Horse Sanctuary • Season 2 • Episode 3

This week we talk to Redwings' Campaigns Manager Andie McPherson about The #TempCheckChallenge.

Launched in Strangles Awareness Week 2022 - the challenge encourages all horse owners to form a new horse care habit - to get to know their horse's average resting temperature.

Andie explains why this can be so vital, not only in protecting your horse and yard from a potential strangles outbreak, but for spotting other signs of ill health too.

She explains the steps you can take to stay safe during this process, and how to confidently approach it if it's your first time.

Plus, hear how we have been working with International Event Rider Piggy March, and all about her support of the challenge.
