🚨 Rabies Update for Horse Owners 🚨

We’ve received a few calls about possible rabies exposures in our area: and with recent confirmed cases in a deer (Columbia County, NY) and a skunk (Berkshire County, MA), it’s a good time for a reminder.

If you suspect your horse may have been exposed to a rabid animal:
1️⃣ Call your veterinarian immediately. We’ll try to help guide you on next steps; including whether a booster or quarantine is needed.
2️⃣ Avoid direct contact with saliva or wounds.
3️⃣ Report the incident to your local sheriff/ health department/ animal control.

💉 The rabies vaccine for horses is very effective, so keeping your horse up to date is the best protection.

🐴 Stay alert, be mindful of wildlife near your herd, and don’t handle strange-acting animals.

in celebration of a successful first TVA Day for ICSI at our haul-in facility!

Last week we teamed up with Select Breeders Services Inc to host mares for transvaginal aspiration of oocytes so these eggs can be used to create embryos via intracytoplasmic s***m injection (aka ICSI).

Thanks to Elena Martinez de Andino VMD, Dipl ACT and assistant veterinarian Hector from SBS for joining us at Millbrook Equine to make this happen for seven mares and several very happy owners.

We are also pleased to report successful fertilization rates from this TVA Day:
🥚Daphne x Crown Cavalo Ritz Carlton: 4 oocytes
🥚Jewels x Gunther: 4 oocytes
🥚Prim x Hunther: 2 oocytes
🥚Carrica x Contico Quick MVF: 3 oocytes
🥚Sea Coast x Capital Colnardo: 4 oocytes

We look forward to hosting another TVA day soon! Be sure to reach out to our office by emailing [email protected] if you are interested in learning more about ICSI or exploring reproductive services for your mare or stallion 🐴

🍁🌿High risk grazing season is here!🌿🍁

While autumn's sunny days make for perfect riding weather, those temperature fluctuations can cause sugar level changes in the grass which means increased risk of laminitis for your horse. This week's ❄️ frost warning ❄️ throughout the Hudson Valley is a good indicator that grasses will be stressed and therefore quite high in fructose! Check out some reminders for this time of year below:

🍂 Take any signs of footsoreness very seriously and keep an eye on your entire herd, not just those with existing risk factors
🍂 If your horse does have risk factors for laminitis (obesity, diagnosed PPID/ cushings, etc...) consider using a grazing muzzle or migrating to a dry lot if it's available.
🍂 Remember if you have questions or concerns you should chat with your veterinarian about management strategies. We're is happy to help!

⭐Tip from the team: GG Equine Grazing Muzzles are super hardy and comfortable for your horse. They're a fantastic tool for managing your horse's weight and preventing laminitic episodes. Plus, you can save 10% with code MILLBROOK10

🚨 Colic in horses is a true emergency! 🚨Do you know the signs, what to do, and how to help prevent it? 🐴❤️

🔴 What is colic?
Colic as a blanket term refers to abdominal pain in horses. It can range from mild discomfort to life-threatening conditions. Things can escalate quickly so fast action can be life-saving.

⚠️ Signs to watch for:
❌ Pawing, rolling, or restlessness
❌ Looking at, biting, or kicking the belly
❌ Refusing feed or no manure output
❌ Sweating, rapid breathing, or unusual depression

🚑 If your horse shows signs of colic:
✅ Call your veterinarian immediately 📞
✅ Remove all feed and hay
✅ Hand walk only if safe and advised
✅ Monitor heart rate, gum color, and gut sounds
✅ Don’t give medications unless directed by your vet

💡 Common causes of colic:
⚡ Sudden diet or management changes
⚡ Too much grain or lush grass
⚡ Dehydration or lack of forage
⚡ Sand ingestion or parasite infections
⚡ Stress, travel, or reduced turnout/ movement
⚡Gastric ulcers

✨ Colic prevention tips:
✔️ Feed consistently & make changes slowly
✔️ Provide fresh water at all times 💧
✔️ Keep up with deworming & dental care
✔️ Ensure daily turnout and exercise
✔️ Know what’s normal for your horse; changes in manure, appetite, or attitude can be early warning signs

👉 Remember: Colic can escalate fast. Recognizing changes quickly and calling your vet right away gives your horse the best chance for recovery. We're here to help!

🌍 Today is World Rabies Day, which reminds us that rabies is a serious threat to both animals and people.

About 60,000 people in the U.S. are exposed to rabies each year; most from wildlife or unvaccinated domestic animals.*

🐴 Horses are 4x more likely than dogs to contract rabies*

💉 Vaccinating your horse against rabies isn’t just about protecting them. It’s about protecting you, your community, and your veterinarians.

🦠 Rabies is spread through the saliva of infected animals, usually by bites. While horses aren’t primary carriers (like bats, raccoons, or skunks), they can contract rabies if bitten. A vaccinated horse is far less likely to become a link in the chain of transmission.

⚠️ Rabies is 100% fatal. There’s no cure, only prevention. By vaccinating your horse, you help control the spread of this deadly disease and safeguard both animals and people.

If you think your horse may need a rabies booster, please reach out to our office to double check records and/ or schedule an appointment.

Wishing you a restful weekend 😴🌞

Our repro team is gearing up to host our first TVA Day for ICSI on Tuesday, September 30! Translation: mares are hauling in for transvaginal aspiration of oocytes (eggs).

🥚 This is an important first step for reproduction via ICSI (intracytoplasmic s***m injection) that we are pleased to begin to offer to our clients. Mares are able to undergo this procedure without interruption to their work or competition schedule and any resulting viable embryos can be later implanted into recipient mares.

We're excited to have teamed up with Select Breeders Services Inc and Vita Nova Reproduction Center for this process and to facilitate next steps.

📲Should you be interested in learning more or having your mare participate the next time we offer this, please email our office at [email protected] for more details.

Dr Kari Searls & Dr Rachelle LaPrade teamed up for a recent gastroscope appointment at our haul-in facility 🤝 💪

We recommend gastroscopies in cases where we suspect ulcers because we want to be able to specifically target treatment. This non-invasive and incredibly helpful diagnostic enables us to clearly identify what is going on to come up with the best treatment protocol for your horse based on what we see and your horse's lifestyle/ management.

Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) can be clearly exhibited through clinical signs like:
🆘 colic
🆘 discomfort post-feeding
🆘 weight loss/ poor body (and/ or coat) condition
🆘reduced appetite
🆘behavioral and/or performance changes
🆘teeth grinding

If you suspect gastric ulcers, remember that a scope is the only way to identify ulcers, where they're located, and what type they are 👀.

✅ Scoping first saves money in the long run, it helps your vet determine the most effective treatment AND will give you a clear before-and-after so you know for sure if treatment was successful.

Give our office a call if you're suspicious of ulcers this season! And remember you can haul-in to our facility the night before so we can fast your horse for you ahead of the scope 🐴

Happy fall, y'all 🍂🍁❤🐴

Behind the scenes of the 10th Annual Future Equine Practitioners Weekend!

Our team loves working on cases (and more) with our friends at Rhinebeck Equine and Equine Clinic at OakenCroft - independently owned practices have to stick together you know 😉 - but FEPW is by far our biggest collaborative effort each year. Our 10th edition was nothing short of great 💫

Our veterinarians volunteered their time to share knowledge with up-and-coming horse doctors in years one through three of vet school. Our team did the most fantastic job prepping the office and our haul-in facility for visitors and we were able to provide great experiences for the attendees!

On Saturday, Dr Miranda Gosselin taught the placental examination wet lab at RE and co-taught the epididymal freeze lab with Dr Alana King at MEVC. Dr Kari Searls helped students learn about abdominal ultrasound at RE, taught radiographic positioning at MEVC and popped up to ECO to teach joint injections! Dr Cyra Erwin and Dr Mich Ferraro carved out time to share radiographic positioning expertise on our home turf as well 👩‍🏫🩻.

Thank you to Jo, Stacey, Katie, Meghan, and Emma for horse handling and SO much more to make our portion of the weekend a success 💪 and of course thank you to Tequila, Measha, Bombette, Sammy, and Gunnar for being patient patients as students practiced radiography.

This event is a massive undertaking made possible through many hours working together, industry support, our sponsor a student initiative, as well as a grant from The Foundation for the Horse ! We also owe a big thank you to vets from some neighboring (and far afield) practices who shared their weekend with students (Grand Prix Equine, Ocean State Equine),

We’re already looking ahead to next year 😊 . Stay tuned for (more quality!) photos from Kathy Landman 📸
