Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) 🦟

Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is a mosquito-borne viral disease which affects the horse's central nervous system. EEE is often fatal in horses and has no specific treatment once symptoms appear.

Most cases occur in horses that were unvaccinated or improperly vaccinated. Horses with weakened immune systems are also at greater risk — including young horses with developing immunity and older horses with diminished immunity.

Prevention is key!

📅 If your horse is due (or overdue) for their EEE vaccine, call us today to schedule an appointment. 📞613-703-0272

✨Why are TRACE MINERALS important for your horse? ✨

Trace minerals are vital for a horse’s health, performance, and well-being. Although only needed in small amounts, they support essential functions like immunity, bone development, enzyme activity, and muscle function.

Essential Trace Minerals in horses:

- Zinc (Zn)
- Selenium (Se)
- Cobalt (Co)
- Iodine (I)
- Manganese (Mn)
- Iron (Fe)
- Copper (Cu)

These essential minerals help support:
➡️ Hoof Strength and quality
➡️ Joint and Muscle Health
➡️ Immune Function
➡️ Coat Condition

Many pastures and hay lack essential trace minerals, making supplementation a key part of equine nutrition. If you're unsure whether your horse is getting the right balance, we can help!💚

📞 Call us today to discuss your horse’s nutritional needs. Your horse deserves the best!

What is a Coggins test?🩺🩸

A Coggins test is a blood test used to detect antibodies for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA)—a potentially fatal viral disease that affects all equids. EIA has no cure and no vaccine, so early detection and prevention are key to keeping our horse communities safe.

A negative Coggins test confirms that a horse is not carrying the virus at the time of testing. It’s required by most boarding facilities, events, and for transport across boarders—so if you're travelling or competing with your horse, be sure their Coggins is current!

🌱💦 Slobbery Horse Season? Here’s Why! 💦🌱

Are your horses drooling like they've just come from the dentist? 😅 You’re likely seeing the effects of slaframine toxicity, commonly known as "Slobbers."

This condition is caused by a fungus (Rhizoctonia leguminicola) that grows on red clover and sometimes alfalfa, especially during warm, wet weather. The fungus produces slaframine, a compound that stimulates excessive salivation.

🐴 What you might see:

- Constant drooling or soaking wet muzzles

- Wet spots on bedding, water buckets, or legs

- Occasionally mild diarrhea or colic-like signs (rare)

💡 The good news? It looks worse than it is! Slobbers are usually not harmful and will stop once the horse is removed from the contaminated pasture or hay.

👉 What can you do?

- Check pastures for red clover with dark or "black-patch" spots

- Rotate grazing areas and avoid cutting hay from affected fields

Call us if you notice any signs beyond just drooling!📞
