Dressage Duo Anna and Roo Back Test-Based Worm Control
21 February 2025
New Ambassador for Horse Health
Westgate Labs are thrilled to welcome dressage rider ‘anna.r.dressage’ on board as an official ambassador to promote the benefits of targeted parasite control for equine health and the environment.
Anna keeps her horse Roo at livery just 20 minutes from the Westgate Labs headquarters in Northumberland. Together they compete all over the country in British Dressage competitions. The duo particularly enjoys dancing to their dressage to music freestyle routine, which has qualified them for various national championships. While dressage and correct training are their passion, wellbeing and advocating for horse health goes hand in hand with Anna’s ambitions.
Beyond competition, Anna is well known for her horse-first approach to wellbeing, advocating for responsible parasite control, vaccination awareness, and improved biosecurity practices. She sees parasite control as an important aspect of this to protect Roo’s health and keep him in the best condition.
"I'm delighted to be working with Westgate Labs to champion test-based parasite control. Their 4Count PLUS Season Pack makes managing Roo’s parasite testing effortless for the year ahead, with everything I need in one simple kit. It’s flexible to fit in with my yard’s routine, and I love knowing that expert advice from the friendly Westgate team is always on hand. With their support, keeping my horse happy and healthy has never been easier for total peace of mind!"
Westgate Labs is excited to collaborate with Anna and Roo to highlight the importance of testing before treating. Marketing Director Claire Shand commented:
"We’re delighted to welcome Anna and Roo on board to help spread the message about responsible worm control. With horses regularly travelling for training and competition, the risk of parasite exposure can be higher, making routine testing even more important. It’s great to be supporting them with this important aspect of horse health.
Anna’s thoughtful approach to her horse’s training and wellbeing aligns perfectly with our mission to promote targeted, evidence-based parasite control. By working with role models like Anna and Roo, we hope to show just how simple, effective, and beneficial a test-based approach can be."
