This is a good article - things to think about when vaccinating your horse.
By Juliet M. Getty, Ph.D. You’ve seen it firsthand – a decline in your horse’s overall demeanor and health following routine vaccinations. Inflammation is the reason for this reaction. A new study from the Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University...

Researchers analyzed brain tissue to determine a cause of shivers in horses.
Ishtarah had a significant morning and will be feeling better than ever!
Our wonderful Vets, Doctors Schmidt and Heath, removed a molar that was split right down the middle. One of the roots was already damaged, leaving sharp edges below the gumline and causing food to pack between the halves, along with an ulcerated cheek.
Ishtarah is sensitive to needles, so we gave her oral sedative before bringing her and her pasturemate up to the barn. Once the drugs took effect, we brought her buddy back out and further sedated Ishtarah. The procedure went extremely well, and she was back out at pasture, eating as soon as she could safely do so. Ishtarah tested positive for anaplasma and ehrlichia last month, so she is already on antibiotics. We're sure she'll be much more comfortable eating after this procedure 🩷
Beautiful Katie 💚🩷🩶
Kahlia and Hush are on their first pasture of the year. Kahlia is limbering up, while Hush gets straight to work ☺😍

Same speculum… Shire vs. Mini!
Pugsley and Sunny are both in their late 20's - it doesn't mean they stop messing with each other! 😆🤠
We have openings!
We're trying a new method to keep low sugar straw out for Donnie and Marie to munch on between their weighed hay meals. I put 2 flakes in a Hay Chix slow feed extreme net, add a zip tie, then fold back over itself to make a doubled up slow feed extreme net 😆
Just checking in after the holidays 😀
Klinger, a black Percheron horse who served with the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment Old Guard Caisson Platoon for 20 years, has retired and been adopted by the Turner family.
Tantor 💛
Super handsome, sweet and well-mannered Belgian draft x QH. He’s happy to be out in his new paddock, making friends!
Our newest girl at the farm is Jilly 💜 She’s an absolutely stunning 20 year old Appendix Quarter Horse. She’s a real thinker and it’s a ton of fun getting to know her and develop trust.
Batman loves his meals 🥰
This stunning girl is Ishtarah, she's a blue roan Tennesse Walking Horse. Her coat changes with the seasons 🥰
She is a very smart mare and it took a bit to gain her trust. Now she enjoys attention at pasture and loves coming into the main barn for her trims (with lots of attention, a big barn fan in summer and her buddy right next to her!).
She's still in her teens and is with us due to her Mom moving out of the country. We are blessed to have her with us ✨
Silver is 44 1/2 and still pulls off a great mud bath. Tito spent a decade on the track and figured out exactly how fun puddles and dirt are. Seeing these guys do their horse thing makes my day ❤️
Neiko is one of those OTTBs that just *loves* water 😍
Whether you've worked with an old schoolmaster or have a pasture full of retirees at home, old horses find a way to weave themselves into our hearts forever. I've been lucky in my horse life to have worked with the full range of equine experiences: I've helped halter-break babies; I've started young...
You know they’re in their happy place for dentals when their tongue is a separate entity 😆🥰
Ah darn it. This had to come out.
Horse was sedated, but we also gave him local lidocaine 🙂
Floored and Caper are settling in nicely, in fact they were settled in within the first hour ☺️ Floored has multiple national championships under his belt, but he keeps that to himself for the most part. They are wonderful, smart horses!
Our beautiful Emma had Raindrop Therapy with Emmie Crotteau and On Point Equine Massage and Bodywork today. I am so happy to find a local healer who offers the service! Emmie is a true horseperson with an exceptional heart. This is the next step in Emma’s healing journey - thank you Emmie! I’m thankful to have you on our team and look forward to seeing the benefit of your other services 💞

Rio & Topper
Merry Christmas from all of us at Bronken Creek
A pretty rowdy crew in the front paddocks 🤭 our oldest and youngest are here - Silver is 43 and Rio is 6. There’s also Flash and Renny, who are in their teens ❤️
Bosco and Rey were released on their new pasture this week. There's room to run, and there's GIRLS! 🥰🤣 Check out that big Bosco trot 😍 Carol Ryba
Here’s Indy asking Al if he may join him for lunch. Al doesn’t say yes, he’s more of the type to kick the empty chair out as an invitation 😉
Indy loves preparing for winter 🥰
I think Flash, the bay pony, is Andy and Silver’s long lost #brotherfromanothermother 🤣 We typically have horses living in pairs, but I got permission from all owners to try these 3 compact and tooth-challenged models together. What a win - it’s like they’re known each other forever! There were a couple manly squeals, then the stalking began 😆 Check them out, eating their afternoon mash like they’re on a tie line 😊👍 They were even all sharing the shed for a nap after they ate! 🌟
