While dropping feed and losing weight are common physical signs that your horse may have dental concerns, some may be behavioral. If your horse has begun tossing his head, had a change in performance, or is chewing on the bit, schedule an appointment for a dental exam with your horse’s veterinarian.

Regenerative therapies have been a hot topic of conversation in recent years, but what exactly are they? While there are specific therapies under this umbrella, regenerative therapies promote self-healing of your horse’s body through either internal or external delivery of beneficial cells, cellular molecules, and supporting structures.¹ These therapies help replace or regenerate cells by stimulating the body’s immune system to promote healing.

A PPE is more than just a lameness exam; it’s an overall evaluation of the horse’s health.

As temperatures drop, it’s important to remind your clients that their horse’s needs change in winter weather. Share these essential tips with to help keep their horses healthy and comfortable during the colder months:

1. Hydration is key – Even in winter, proper water intake is critical. Encourage the use of heated water buckets or tank heaters in freezing climates to ensure horses always have access to fresh, unfrozen water.
2. Encourage movement – Whether through turnout or riding, regular exercise helps horses stay fit and avoid stiffness during the colder months. Keeping horses active is just as important in winter as it is in warmer weather.
3. Ventilation matters – When keeping the chill out, don’t seal up the barn too tightly. Proper ventilation reduces dust and ammonia buildup, helping to maintain good respiratory health through better air quality.
Share these tips with your clients and help them make the season a little easier on their equine companions.
