Are you worried about feeding beet pulp to your horse because you heard it may expand in the horse's stomach and cause colic?

No need to fear. Beet pulp's excellent digestibility actually makes it a useful addition to the diet of many types of horses — especially "hard keepers" that need to gain weight, horses with dental problems, convalescing horses, and geriatric horses who have trouble chewing or digesting other types of forage. Because beet pulp is really a fiber supplement, not a grain, you can safely feed as much as you like; just be sure to start with a small quantity and GRADUALLY INCREASE the amount you’re feeding.

Read more about feeding beet pulp on our website at https://aaep.org/horsehealth/feeding-beet-pulp. As always, consult your veterinarian for more information and to determine if beet pulp is a good choice for your horse!

On this Veterans' Day we want to take a moment to thank all the brave men and women who served our country and who continue to serve.

In honor of the animals who assist their human partners in the armed forces, we hope you'll enjoy reading the story of Nelson, pictured below with his soldier.

Nelson was a real war horse who served in the Warwickshire Royal Horse Artillery during World War I by pulling the medium-calibre guns and howitzers which were deployed close to the front line. Nelson's handler and driver was Alfred Henn, who kept a photograph of the war horse he had cherished as a young soldier until his death in 2000, at the age of 103.

Speaking before he died, Alfred recalled Nelson's unflinching bravery despite only having one eye. With Alfred riding him, and the full weight of a gun carriage behind him, the noble horse galloped directly into the gunfire. Nelson was Alfred's only confidant amid the horror of battle, and also had an uncanny sense of danger that served both soldier and horse well.

Horses were a valuable commodity during WWI, but it's said the terror they shared in those days forged incredible friendships between the animals and their humans. It was a very physical relationship, and soldiers and horses often slept together in the mud to ward off the cold.

Weston Davis Equine Surgery

Rare tumor and rare surgery with excellent patient outcome 🐴

This is a middle age horse who presented for evaluation of a rapidly growing oral mass. A CT was performed, followed by surgical biopsy for definitive diagnosis. Histopathology revealed that the mass was an ameloblastic fibroma: a tumor of dental origin, diagnosed infrequently in humans and very rarely in horses. Although this tumor type rarely metastasizes, it tends to be locally invasive and aggressive, requiring complete removal and/or aggressive radiation therapy. In this case, CT mapping was performed enabling complete removal of the tumor via rostral mandibulectomy with preservation of the mandibular symphysis.

The patient recovered incredibly fast. She returned to eating the afternoon following surgery and resumed riding activities (with hackamore at 2 weeks). She was given the all clear at 4 weeks and has since resumed full athletic activities and winning classes. There is minimal outward evidence that a surgery was performed and she’s still the most beautiful mare in town 😉

Enjoy and share!
