Did you know horseback riding burns calories? (Yes, even when you’re just holding on for dear life during a trot!)
This calorie chart breaks it down...
✔️ Walking your horse? That’s cardio.
✔️ Trotting? Burn, baby, burn.
✔️ Barn chores? Hello, CrossFit with hay bales.

Find out just how fit horses can make you—because who needs a gym when you’ve got a 1,000-pound personal trainer or a few!

Good info for winter!

Did you know that a horse with a moderate hair coat starts requiring additional calories for body temperature regulation when the outside temperature drops to approximately 50°F?

As the temperatures start to drop, especially overnight, it's important to remember that cold weather prompts special considerations for your horse's diet and care. This is particularly important when it comes to the older members of the herd; consult your primary horse doctor to formulate a plan to keep your horses happy and healthy this fall and winter!

Good reminders 😊

"F" IS FOR FALL-CHECKLIST! 🍂🍁

As the cooler weather moves in, now is the time to crack down on housing, nutrition, and preventative health strategies suitable for the arrival of winter.

Check out this list of essential items on the horse owner's fall to-do list, but there is much more that needs to be done—like having your horse's blankets repaired and waterproofed, securing and storing hay properly, assessing your shelters for safety and soundness, etc.

Note that your equine veterinarian is one of your greatest allies this season, so be sure to consult them and discuss vaccination and deworming protocols appropriate for your horse’s situation. This is also a great opportunity to chat about recommended changes in nutrition and exercise programs as well!

UPDATE: Phone lines are still not working in general, but due to the nature of the issue on AT&T's side, some local calls may go through. No exact time estimate for when things will be working normally again, but they hope to resolve the issue by the end of the day tomorrow. There is a small chance things will get fixed today, but no promises from AT&T at this time.
In the meantime keep our Emergency pager number and clinic email address handy so we can still assist you and your animals during this process.
