This post has been making the rounds of Facebook recently. If anyone has seen it, please know that it is 100% bogus and full of completely inaccurate, exaggerated and clinically impossible information. "Worm aneurysms" are NOT a "common cause of equine hind limb lameness" and if you try to tell me they are my eyeballs may actually roll out of my skull. 🙄

From my furry family to yours, I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas day! ❤️

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for my wonderful clients, who have been amazingly supportive of every new step I take. I quite literally would not exist as a business without you! ❤️ 🐎
I have always dreamed of being an equine veterinarian and this last year has reminded me why I had that dream.

I am also thankful that AI generated turkey/horse hybrids only live in computers and nightmares.

Had a great time today at the CNYDCTA year end awards banquet! For those that don't know, I grew up riding in the CNYDA Jr/YR program so it's extra fun to go back to my roots. What a great group of people ❤️

Hey guys I've realized that apparently I don't always get notifications for new voicemails! 😩 If you leave me a voicemail and don't hear back from me go ahead and shoot me a text message or Facebook message. That seems to be the most reliable method of communication. My apologies to anyone's messages that I have missed!

New toy alert! 🤩
Excelsior Equine now has the ability to perform insulin readings stall-side with results in about 15 minutes! This is a great way to provide regular monitoring for my metabolic patients, as well as to screen horses for suitability for steroid administration prior to joint injections.
If this is something you would like done at your appointment please give me a heads up so I can have a kit with me! (Although I also have the ability to draw the blood at the time of the appointment and then have it tested at the end of the day- still much sooner than the several days it takes for results when sent to a lab!)

As soon as we develop Ozempic for horses I'll be sure to start carrying that as well 😜

I am excited to now be an approved member of the International Society of Equine Locomotor Pathology (ISLEP) 🤩
This is a small step towards my lofty goal of eventually becoming an ISLEP certified practitioner. This is a multi-year process which required hundreds of hours of hands-on training and studying followed by written examinations, demonstrations of practical skills and case study presentation.

Knowledge is power and I can't wait to learn everything there is to learn. (100 % nerd alert 🤓)

With these skills I hope to be able to provide top level lameness care to horses across Central and Northern New York for many years to come! 🐴😎💯💜

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to ride a wonderful horse on a hunter pace on a beautiful farm. It was a great reminder as to why so many of us dedicate our lives to these amazing animals ♥️🐎
(Also, riding your patient can be super helpful for understanding what their issues are 😜)

Okay... Who told Duluth my favorite work pants should be made in purple?!?
And they are on SALE?! 😍💜💯
Get ready for the full purple experience, coming to your barn sometime soon. 😂🐴💜

Hi guys!
I have not been posting much because I have been busy busy busy this season! I recently passed the one year mark of being in business, and I am continuously amazed and humbled by how well I've been received by everyone in my new venture 😊

Once things get a little more manageable in the off season I hope to return to doing some educational lecture series through the page. First up will be a focus on joint health with lectures/webinars covering topics such as the biologic features of joint disease as well as current supplements, medications and intra-articular therapies (joint injections) available. So stay tuned for that!

In the meantime here's a picture of my goofy Morgan named Stanley at his first horse show last week! 🐴

07/07/2024

Beautiful day for a horse show today! 🎡🐎
Don't forget I'm available for DISCOUNTED work until 4pm!
Text if you want a dental or adjustment!

(For those showing I recommend no work until after your last class! )

I'll be spending time at the Oswego County Fair next weekend! While I'm there I will be offering chiropractic adjustments and dentals at a DISCOUNTED RATE!

You do NOT need to be showing at the fair, haul-ins encouraged!

Dentals and chiropractic adjustments will be offered at discounted rate of $125 per horse! There is NO haul in fee! $25 from this charge will be going directly to support the Oswego County Fair so they can keep up the good work!

I will be available at the fairgrounds on Friday and Sunday (horse show day!)

Note: horses will be sedated for any dental work and can not be ridden that day. For chiropractic adjustments they will need the following day off (so don't plan on getting an adjustment the day of the show!)

Send me a PM to get on the schedule!

My apologies that some texts/emails/message have been slow in getting a response lately. I have spoken to my receptionist and have disciplined her appropriately. 😠 Oh wait, that's me 🙃

In all seriousness, I have been slightly overwhelmed lately at the amount of interest in my services. I am SO thankful to have such support! But I am a one woman show with no support staff and I am certainly a more proficient veterinarian than a secretary 😬

Thank you to everyone and their patience while I try to manage scheduling/reports/invoicing/inventory during this crazy busy season. To show my gratitude here is a photo of an adorable 3 day old mini donkey that supervised some appointments the other day. ❤️ 🐎
