2026 Wellness Plans are open for enrollment🎉

What does a Wellness Plan include?

📝Semiannual wellness exams: assessment of general health, diet, and management

💉Vaccines: based on your equine's lifestyle

🦷Annual dental exam: a comprehensive assessment that identifies if just routine floating is needed, or if there are painful conditions that need to be treated such as periodontal disease or fractures.

💵5% off dentistry procedures: whether your horse just needs a routine maintenance float or extensive treatment, all dentistry procedures are 5% off for the whole year.

👩‍⚕️Health screening labs: F***l egg count, Insulin & Vitamin E levels are recommended as annual health screening labs for every equine to prevent serious disease. Complete Plans add in a CBC/Chemistry panel and Senior PPID Plans add in an ACTH. A Coggins test is included in Gold Plans for horses who travel.

📉Bundle pricing: save between $86-$142 (depending on the plan) when compared to purchasing each item individually.

⭐Gastroscopy at Miamitown Equine has been a great addition to our diagnostic capabilities and for our patients! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to help so many horses this past year. Making sure they are accurately diagnosed and treated to get them feeling better!

Why should you get your horse scoped instead of just treating or having them on a daily supplement?

🩺Accurate diagnosis is critical, because treatment is not one-size-fits all! There are different types of ulcers in different areas of the stomach, and they require different treatments.
💸Appropriate treatment can be expensive, and you want to know that it is actually needed, and is the correct medication for that type of ulcer. Don't throw your money away with treatments that won't work for your horse's specific case!
💊Some supplements can help prevent ulcers, but they are not strong enough to heal them. Giving these supplements to an ulcer-y horse leaves your pocketbook a lot lighter, yet your horse still has ulcers!
🐎Have peace of mind knowing that you aren't asking your horse to live and work with this painful condition. Stomach ulcers are a very common source of underlying pain in the horse. We wish that they could talk and tell us where it hurts, but until then, we can find out with diagnostics like gastroscopy!

Signs that your horse may have ulcers:
-Irritability, such as ear pinning when grooming or girth tightening
-Kicking out or resistance to go forward under saddle
-Cribbing, weaving, pawing or other stress related habits
-Intermittent colic
-Loss of appetite, changes in body condition
-Poor performance or just "not quite right"

To schedule an appointment, call or text 513-715-2600. Gastroscopy is ideally performed as a haul-in appointment in the winter months, but can be done on the farm when it is above freezing.

As the winter months come and go, we want to make sure you are prepared for any surprise temperature drops that may come our way 🥶. Here's what Dr. Hood does for her horses!
✅️ Blankets for those that need them.
-Our donkeys shiver in the cold so they get blanketed. If your equine is shivering, they need a blanket!
-If riding horses are clipped, they need blankets too!
-Some horses never grow a thick winter coat so a blanket is necessary.
-Our horses with thick winter coats can go without a blanket (Our minis look like hairy little yaks this time of year 😆).
-If you blanket, make sure they are thick/warm enough. A lighter turnout will just flatten their winter coat and decrease their natural ability to stay warm.
✅️ A shelter big enough for everyone. Make sure the more timid horses aren't getting chased out of the barn or away from the hay source. Our horses live outside with access to multiple shelters and hay sources.
✅️ Unfrozen water supply, ideally 45-65 degrees.
My main concern with the cold is impaction colic due to dehydration. Horses will drink more when all of their water stays this temperature.
✅️ We always add a tablespoon of salt to their feed during the winter and weather changes to keep them drinking. When it gets cold, horses forget they have to drink 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
✅️ Free choice hay. A full belly is a warm belly! You don't need to increase their grain ration, but you should throw them some extra hay. Even my pony who is on a diet gets to have a cheat day 😉
✅️ Don't forget the barn kitties! They need an unfrozen water source and a snuggle spot. They usually burrow in between bales in the hay loft when it gets super cold, but they have this hay burrow in case they don't want to go that far.

📣December Dental Special! 🐴🦷
Haul in to our Harrison clinic for dentals before December 31st and get $10 off!

A comprehensive sedated dental with a bright light, speculum, mirror, probe & precise instruments should be performed every 12 months by a veterinarian. This allows us to treat painful conditions before they turn into bigger problems.

Let's make sure our senior equine friends are good to go for the winter! Hang out in our warm exam room, and grab a cup of coffee while we take care of your horse's dental needs.


Call or text the office at (513)-715-2600 to schedule
