Happy Father’s Day!
Where would we be without the love and support of our fathers? Thank you to those who fostered and supported our dreams, our love of horses, and who are there for us through it all. And we would also like to take a moment to recognize those dads who are no longer with us but who are loved and appreciated nonetheless ❤️

Great information for horse owners and free!

Protect your horse on and off the farm with the down and dirty of biosecurity!

Next Tuesday, join AAEP member veterinarians Drs. Elizabeth Gorrell and Nikki Scherrer for a webinar discussion that will help you reduce your horse's risk of exposure to infectious diseases when traveling off the farm - and how to prevent bringing those risks back home.

Registration is FREE but required. A recording of the webinar will be available if you miss the live event.

We want to introduce you to this handsome fella, Sonador. He went through some tough times with his health in recent years but with the help of our team of vets (Dr Sapp, Dr Frank, Dr Fishenfeld, and Dr Fielding) he’s not only still alive but thriving as he recently celebrated his 27th birthday!🎉
We love seeing our patients thriving and their people continuing to enjoy them!👏❤️
Who else has an oldster that’s still thriving?

Dr. Sapp’s case of the day—this gentleman got into some trouble with his few remaining incisors. Somehow he managed to break all their roots! Good thing incisors aren’t always needed to maintain a normal/healthy lifestyle. This horse has been seen prior for EOTRH, which is a remodeling/resorptive condition of the incisor teeth.

Today we are celebrating that we’ve had the joy of having Dr. Kelsey Sapp on our team for 10 years!🥳 We’re so thankful that we get to work with her and that she has faithfully served our wonderful clients for a whole decade already.
Time flies when you’re having fun!
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Sapp on this milestone🎉

The 4th of July is almost here so we want to share with you a few Safety Tips for Horses and Fireworks.

⭐️ Find out what events are scheduled in your area and communicate with neighbors to find out if they plan to set off fireworks at their home / near your property.

⭐️ Keep horses stabled or sheltered to keep them from spooking and possibly getting out of their enclosure. Check the area they’ll be housed in for anything they might hurt themselves on if they become panicked.

⭐️ Play music for them to help muffle the sound of fireworks.

⭐️ Keep the lights on to help make the light from fireworks less bright.

⭐️ Be kind and keep in mind that even if your horses and pets are not disturbed by fireworks some animals are.

⭐️ If your horse (or pets) are wary about the sight or sounds from fireworks, talk to your veterinarian about the use of calming agents to help them through the celebrations.

It’s always good to plan ahead so we hope you find these tips helpful! Be sure to share this info with your friends and contact us if you have any questions, concerns, or if you think your horse might need something prescribed to help keep them calm❤️
