DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF INFECTION AT YOUR BARN?

While parasite control and immunization with vaccines remain key pieces of any infection control plan, horse owners need to remember the importance of reducing or preventing exposure of the horse to infection causing agents in the first place.

This will surely require more work than simply scheduling a vaccination appointment for your horse, but if you’re thinking, “Is this REALLY necessary?” — the answer is yes. Any effort you put in to preventing infection vastly outweighs the cost of treating and possibly hospitalizing a sick horse!

As always, your veterinarian remains your best source of information and advice!

RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOUR HORSE IS ACCIDENT-PRONE...🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

If you own horses long enough, sooner or later you are likely to confront a medical emergency. There are several behavioral traits that make horses especially accident-prone: one is their instinctive flight-or-fight response; another is their need to establish the pecking order within a herd; and a third is their natural curiosity. Such behaviors account for many of the cuts, bruises, and abrasions that horses suffer. In fact, lacerations are probably the most common emergency that horse owners must contend with.

Do you know what to do if your horse is cut or bleeding? The initial steps you take to treat a wound can prevent further damage and speed healing, and maintaining your presence of mind could save your horse's life. Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind in case of emergency; how you will ultimately proceed will depend on your horse's individual circumstances, and on the advice you receive from your veterinarian.
