We had a horse come in today for a laceration repair. Owners found him with a wound on the dorsal lateral aspect (front and outside) of his hock.

Attached is the picture of the laceration. It did not enter the joint but the black arrow is pointing to a large vein that was unharmed and fully intact! What a lucky horse!

The laceration was cleaned up and sutured and he is back home in the care of his owners!

Is your horse’s nighttime vision better than your daytime vision?

When comparing equine vision to human vision, the horse has a smaller visible spectrum (see image) which means they see a smaller range of colors than we do. However, horses have a structure in the back of their eye—called the tapetum lucidum—that humans do not have. This enhances vision in low light conditions and allows a horse to see better in the dark than a human does. However, reflections from the tapetum lucidum can also blur images and lead to poor depth perception at night.

Dilation of the pupil allows all species to see better in the dark. This process takes longer in a horse (45 minutes) than it does in humans (25 minutes). So, when a horse is asked to do something in a dark environment, it’s important to allow their vision proper time to fully accommodate.

Overall, the nighttime vision of a horse is better than the nighttime vision of a human. However, the horse’s nighttime vision is NOT better than the daytime vision of a human. Anytime you are asking your horse to function in a dim light situation, give them time to adjust. And if they are fearful, be patient and try to understand how things look from their perspective!

Pro-Stride® APS is a device that creates a solution to help manage equine lameness and osteoarthritis in horses by concentrating the cells, platelets, growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines from a horse’s own blood.

Pro-Stride APS is primarily used in helping manage osteoarthritis in horses and other causes of lameness to help reduce pain and inflammation.

Pro-Stride can serve as a natural alternative to conventional osteoarthritis management options. The resulting concentrated solution of cells, platelets, growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines helps relieve pain, and restore the balance of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines within the joint.

Pro-Stride uses your horse’s own blood and is processed fresh at your barn or the clinic setting and never frozen or freeze-dried.

Pain and damage in a horse's joint is caused by pro-inflammatory cytokines that break down cartilage. These pro-inflammatory proteins called cytokines can cause damage to tissues in your horse’s joints. These cytokines, including interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), need to be blocked to prevent the development of or slow the progression of osteoarthritis. If not, they bind to the cell surface receptors on cartilage and start the cartilage degradation process.

The horse has several naturally occurring inhibitors in their blood(anti-inflammatory proteins) to block the pro-inflammatory cytokines. These include the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein (IL-1ra or IRAP), soluble interleukin-1 receptor (sIL-1R) and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors (sTNF-R's). Pro-Stride highly concentrates these inhibitors to help reduce pain and protect the cartilage. This is collected, processed and injected after a thorough lameness evaluation is performed.

The pictures attached show the process involved. We used one very cute pony client of ours to pop these pics!!

There are many reasons to consider orthobiologics. Feel free to call or email if you have any additional questions.
