As we race towards the wire and finish 2025, we gallop out into 2026, the year of the horse! For some reason we are feeling pretty optimistic about 2026 😃

One of my goals will be to brave the cold and sit on my horse more. What are some of your goals for this horse-centric year?

What do you get that hard working barn owner / manager who has everything??

Let’s be real, horses are the gift that keep on giving (vet bills that is!). We are now able to make it possible for you to give the gift of vet care to the person that has everything.

Alrighty! Let’s get back on track a bit here with “New Treatment November” even though we’ve spilled into December. We got a bit sidetracked with the EHV situation. On the plus side, if you’re not showing, now is a great time to address any maintenance needs!

Our next product line to highlight is my personal favorite, Hilltop Bio! In my experience this stuff can work some magic, in fact, if you visit their website, some of their case studies are ones I’ve personally worked on.

What is it?
It is a regenerative therapy derived from equine placenta. For all the nitty gritty science I encourage you to head to https://hilltopbio.com

How can it be used?
The shorter list would be “how can’t it be used”! As you can see from the pics, they have a wide variety of products. They cover everything from soft tissue, to joint injections, eyes, small wounds and giant wounds! Regenaflex (for soft tissue) can be injected directly into the site or via Regional Limb Perfusion.

What makes it special?
The biggest thing that sets Hilltop apart is the consistency of the product. With other regenerative therapies, you’re only as good as your patient’s blood. There is no risk of testing and it is noncorrosive to joints / cartilage.

Why I love it:
I chose to use this product on one of my homebreds that would intermittently show some discomfort in a front ankle. After clean X-rays and months of rest and more clean rads, she became uncomfortable again when back in training. We used Strydaflex on her and she came back better than ever. She ran all summer without needing anything further, retired sound, and has moved onto a jumping career.

Good morning friends!
I wanted to pass along the latest update on the EHV situation. We did receive some critical updates this morning.

There is a positive case in Madison County OH that is NOT associated with the Texas outbreak.

Unfortunately, included in this update is news of a positive (EHV4) in Northumberland, PA from a horse that was at the Keystone Yearling and Breeder’s Sale November 7th and 8th in Bloomsburg, PA (Standardbreds). If you attended this event or have come into contact with horses that have, monitor temperatures, isolate those horses, and practice good bio security.

If you have any questions or concerns about how to manage isolation or bio security protocols, please contact the office when we reopen on Monday. As always, we have a doctor on call this weekend in the case that you have an emergency or a horse that is showing clinical symptoms. For a list of symptoms and good information, I am reposting the information from BI.

We know the news of the EHV-1 / EHM outbreak in Texas is scary, but here’s what you need to know!
This is a great informational handout from BI. There have been no reported cases in our area at this time. We are monitoring the situation though and our office will receive notification if that should change. In the event that a case is reported in our area, we will be sure to keep you informed. For now, practice good management and monitoring. Taking temps regularly especially if you have gone off property or plan to do so, monitoring for changes in behavior, cough, nasal discharge etc. As always, stay home if you have any reason to suspect your equine friend is under the weather!

Oh this pretty pink box! So pretty, but oof
so costly!
We know how hard it is especially this time of year to keep everyone healthy and not break the bank. That is why we have introduced *NEW* lower pricing for our online pharmacy. Not only is the upfront cost the same as Chewy BUT when you purchase through our online pharmacy, it counts as a veterinary purchase making it eligible for the BI Rebate (outside online retailers are excluded from rebates) . For every 60 count box you buy, it is eligible for a $10 rebate. For every 160 count box, you get a $30 rebate! These rebates END NOVEMBER 30th!
If you have a friend that depends on Prascend, stock up now as BI is strict about the rebate end date. Checkout the other BI products for similar opportunities

Getting us started in “New Treatment November” is actually our least new treatment, ProStride (APS) / Restigen (PRP). ProStride is typically used for joints and Restigen is used for soft tissue.

These are considered regenerative therapies, meaning that they work with the body’s own healing systems to improve function. So what are the advantages of ProStride / Restigen?

1. Treatment is made from the patient for the patient.
2. No joint corrosion and less chance of reaction because it contains no steroid.
3. Safer for patients with underlying conditions such as insulin resistance and PPID.
4. Promotes healing in acute injuries as well as being safe for use during post op healing.
5. No competition withdrawal times or testing concerns.
6. Regenerative therapies are sometimes covered by certain insurance policies.

So, with all this upside, are there any drawbacks? The good news is that safety wise these therapies are considered to be safer than traditional joint treatment with steroids. There are a couple points to consider based on your particular situation though.

1. These treatments tend to take longer to achieve maximum effect, up to 30 days. If you are up against a deadline, this might not be the treatment for you.
2. The treatment is only as good as the patient’s blood. If your horse has just returned from a strenuous competition or been on NSAID therapy, then it would be best to discuss various options with your doctor.

Follow along with Dr. Crowley as she performs a Restigen injection into a core lesion located in a lateral suspensory branch.

Feel free to reach out to the office if you have questions or if you would like to schedule an evaluation to see if ProStride / Restigen is right for your horse!

These all fall under the “regenerative therapy” umbrella AND as an added bonus, some insurance policies cover these treatments.
