Welcome to the Harris Equine Blog - practical, honest guidance based on experience.
Not a replacement for professional veterinary advice. Your veterinary surgeon is best placed to diagnose and treat your animal. Please always contact your vet practice directly with any individual concerns.

Harris Equine Ltd, founded by Stacy Harris — a practitioner with over a decade in the equestrian industry, working across two closely linked disciplines: accredited equestrian training, and equine intimate health services. Stacy is also the founder of the Equine Intimate Health Federation (EIHF), a not-for-profit professional membership body supporting standards, accountability and practitioner development in equine intimate health.

Practical, evidence-based, and firmly vet-compliant. We don't diagnose, we don't guess, and we never position ourselves as a substitute for veterinary care — we're the trained eyes that know when to pick up the phone to a vet, not the last word on anything medical. Everything we teach and everything we do is insured, accredited, and built on working alongside vets rather than around them.
-
Horse owners at every level, grooms, yard managers, and fellow equestrian professionals — whether they're booking a service, training to offer one themselves, or studying toward a UKRS-recognised qualification. We also work closely with vets, professional bodies like the British Grooms Association, and insurers such as KBIS, because good horse care is a team effort, not a solo act.
