Case Spotlight! 🦴🩻

Last week, our team surgically removed a fractured splint bone! In prehistoric horses, the splint bone was part of the 5-toed foot structure - These bones now offer no significant function to the leg, which is why removing them completely after a fracture doesn’t negatively affect the function or movement of the leg post-surgery!

Check out the cool visual to show the evolution of the horse foot and leg!

Nutrition is VITAL to ensuring your horse can perform well and live a long, happy life! Please don’t hesitate to consult our amazing veterinarians regarding your horse’s diet as we enter spring! 💐🍀

While we are all looking forward to warm spring days and lush green pasture, the transition from winter hay to spring grass should be planned carefully to mitigate any health risks to your equine. In other words — just because your equine friend is not obese or suffering from a nutritionally related disease, doesn’t mean you should just forget about hay entirely and let your horse eat their fill of spring grass.

Feeding high-quality hay is a good way to satisfy a horse’s urge to chew when they can’t graze and provide essential nutrients at the same time. A mature horse will eat 2-2.5% of its body weight per day; roughage should contribute to at least half of this percentage, but most agree forage should be a minimum of 75% of the horse's diet. Please remember that not all horses are made equal, so a horse's total nutritive requirements will ultimately depend on the individual's age, stage of development, metabolism and workload.

Take-home message: Before making any changes to your equine companion's diet this spring, consult your veterinarian to determine their current weight/body condition score and to formulate a balanced and nutritious ration that meets your horse’s specific nutritional needs!

❄️🔥With fluctuating temperatures in this typical Texas winter, it is SO important to make sure your horses are staying hydrated!!! This helps prevent health problems such as colic and tying up.

Here’s a great visual to check hydration levels if you are unsure how much water your horses are drinking. Encourage water consumption by adding water to feed, soaking hay, or adding water enhancers✨

As always, call us with all your questions and needs for your equine companions and athletes!
