Intro to K9 Nosework class at VRSVA 🐾

➡️ If you have a rehabilitating, young, senior, or high-energy dog, winter can present some real hurdles to providing enough physical exercise. Believe it or not, mental exercise can be as effective as physical exercise when it comes to tiring out your dog. Canine nose work, or searching for an odor or food in different environments, can be a great way to give your dog a fun, mentally stimulating activity.

There is still space to register for the winter session with instructor Jennifer Carter at VRSVA! See all details & sign-up via the link:

Horses thrive on routine, so barring doctor’s orders to rest, plenty of turnout is important for their bodies and brains! 

❄️ When the temperature drops make sure to provide plenty of forage, make sure there is 24/7 access to water (water heaters can help prevent freezing over) and cozy blankets for those without enough of a coat!

⭐️ Rehab Success Story | Lucci: Peeling Back the Layers of Lameness ⭐️

➡️ Lucci is a 17-year-old Quarter Horse mare who once loved barrel racing. Over time, she seemed less and less excited to work. Her owner gradually limited her high-speed work, but Lucci still didn’t seem to be herself. She resented being tacked up and was grumpy when ridden at all.

Read Lucci’s full story to learn how she rehabbed to 100% and is now happily back to work doing the job she loves!

🌟 Rehab Review 🌟

“It’s almost been a whole year since Bach arrived at your facility! Just wanted to give you a quick little update and tell you he’s doing absolutely amazing. He’s in full training getting ridden 5 days a week and he’s loving it. His leg doesn’t bother him at all. We are still so grateful for you and your staff!! We hope everyone is doing well!💚”
