For all inquiring minds, it is now a good time to do your fall deworming.
For those looking to put horses out on winter pastures please wait at least a week for sugars to normalize.
If your pastures have wilted leaves (especially maple and oak) please note that these leaves are incredibly toxic (deadly) to horses. They will eat the leaves if there isn't enough grass/hay to keep them content.

VECTOR CONTROL AROUND HORSES: WHY IT MATTERS

’Tis bug season! Besides being very irritating, it's important to remember that some of these insects can spread infection and disease to your horse (and, in some cases, to you as well). Therefore, a smart strategy is to control the problem before it gets out of hand and minimize populations from the beginning.

The attached infographic contains some suggestions to get you started. Please keep in mind that there are many variations of these suggested programs that will still meet the same goals and follow the same principles.

If you’re interested in reading more about external parasites and vector control, comprehensive guidelines are available on our website at https://aaep.org/guidelines/external-parasite-and-vector-control-guidelines. As always, reach out to your veterinarian for recommendations suitable for your horse’s specific situation!

Let's talk at your horse's wellness appointment this spring!

Let's talk at your horse's wellness appointment this spring!

With spring only a few weeks away (🙌), it’s not too early to start thinking about a deworming plan for your horses.

If deworming is something you’ve been doing the same way for as long as you can remember, this year we encourage you to break tradition and work with your veterinarian instead. Thanks to tools like the f***l egg count, your horse doctor can help you devise a treatment tailored to the needs of your equine friend plus monitor the efficacy of the dewormer used last. And before you dismiss this notion because you’ve been “doing it for years,” you should know that the old-school approach to deworming is quickly becoming outdated—not only a waste of money but it also builds drug resistance in the parasitic fauna of equines, which means we are running out of drugs that can effectively help us control parasite infections.

For more information, the AAEP Parasite Control Guidelines can be found on our website at https://aaep.org/document/internal-parasite-control-guidelines
As always, consult your equine veterinarian to learn more and for questions specific to your horses!

Good information here. Have had the (unfortunate) luck to deal with some of the not-so-routine abscesses in the past year.
As we move into colder weather and frozen ground in the upcoming week keep in mind your horse could be more prone to developing a bruise and/or abscess.

Why do some hoof abscesses heal quickly while others linger? Why are some one-off occurrences while others keep coming back? We consulted two horse hoof experts to answer these questions and more.

01/19/2023

On average horses drink 7-10 gallons of water a day and this remains as important in cold weather as it is in the summer because reduced water intake can lead to gastrointestinal problems such as the dreaded impaction colic.

Studies demonstrate that horses will drink more if provided access to heated water and that most water consumption happens within three hours of feeding. How can you use this information to your advantage? Refill buckets at feed time with warm water to maximize your horse’s water intake—especially in the winter when water is more likely to be freezing or close to freezing.

As always, if you have any questions or would like to learn more about preventing colic in your horse, your equine veterinarian remains your best source of information!
