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.

Finishing up from our Caledon & Equine Performance Center, we have Rachel Smith:

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. 🏔️🐶

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. 🐴🌷🌳

First up from our Caledon & Equine Performance Center, we have Karen Sherman:

Hi my name is Karen and I’ve been with McKee Pownall for almost three years. I consider myself very lucky being able to do the job that I do with the people that I do it with. I have been a horse girl all of my life and I’ve never been in a more supportive environment than I am right now. On top of that I get to work with horses, see some really interesting cases and learn from some of the best vets and horse people around. When I’m not gushing about my job to anyone who will listen I enjoy spending time with family, travelling, reading and trying out new recipes. ✈️🐴📚️
