Pre-Purchase Exams! 🐴🩺📝💯
These are often requested by potential buyers to help determine the risk involved with purchasing a certain horse. It is dependent on what the vet is able to see on the day so we've put together a basic list of what is required for both the seller and the buyer to get the best out of their Pre-Purchase Exam! 🐴

With the green grass really starting to affect some of our horses we thought we would put up a post about Track Systems.
It is another way of managing your horse's paddock space to promote exercise and can be very handy for horses that are prone to weight gain. 🐴🌱🐎🌳🌾

Fun Fact Friday! 💚🐴🩺🤩
Do you know what your horses vital signs are?
These are different measurements that represent your horse's general health. They can be indicators of ill health and can aid in knowing when your horse is sick. We recommend practicing on your horse to get to know what is their 'normal' rate for the different vital signs. 🩺🐴👂☝️🌡

Foaling your mare down at home vs sending your mare to a foaling down facility - there is lots to consider when making this decision and while we wish all of our clients a smooth foaling, things can go wrong. In some cases the best circumstances for the mare may be to send your mare to a foaling down facility.

How is your breeding lingo? 🐴🗣📣

We have seen an increase in choke cases lately so we thought it would be worth running a choke post with some of the basics, what to do and not to do and some consequences of choke. Do you have any ideas to slow down horses that like to eat their hard feed quickly, which increases the risk of choke? Please leave them in the comments below! 🐴🩺

Vets are often asked for scripts, so clients can buy medication from an online pharmacy. We thought we might remind everyone that buying medication through your vet gets you more than just the medication! And you're also helping support a local business🐴🩺💊🧪
