AS YOUR BELOVED HORSE AGES, SUBTLE CHANGES COULD SIGNAL SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST GETTING OLDER.

PPID (Cushing’s) is common in older horses, but identifying it early may help ensure a better quality of life for your aging horse.

Visit https://www.bicanadaequine.ca/ppid to find out if your horse is eligible for a FREE PPID TEST from Boehringer Ingelheim Canada.

Hi I’m Rachel, I work out of the Caledon Clinic. I have been with McKee Pownall for almost 2 years. I have been involved with horses my whole life and mainly ride western pleasure. When I’m not working I like to spend most of my time either at the barn or hiking with my dog. 🏔️🐶

It's Veterinary Assistant Appreciation Week and we want to showcase our amazing team this week! 🎉

Next up from our Caledon & Equine Performance Center, we have Jaelyn Stairs:

Hi everyone,

My name is Jaelyn, I have worked out of the Schomberg clinic for almost two years. I started at Mckee Pownall working in the barn and doing a bit of riding for the rehab farm, then moving to a vet assistant position a few months later. I love the daily variety and vast amounts of new knowledge this job provides me. In my spare time I’m usually at the barn or horse show, riding and working. My dog Chevy comes with me everywhere, my geldings are the best horses ever and I dabble in a bit of gardening on the side. 🐴🌷🌳
