Sometimes the bad stuff's just gotta come out 🚰🦷🥴

Dr. Kari Searls and Dr. Mich Ferraro recently collaborated on a sinus trephination and lavage for an infected tooth for this gelding. For this procedure, a small hole is made in the horse's skull to move fluid through to flush the pus/infectious material out of the horses's sinuses.

While it may sound a little rough and is certainly a many-hands-on deck affair, this guy was kept comfortable with sedation and anti-inflammatory meds (as well as some antibiotics to help stave off that infection!)

One week after the successful lavage, the offending tooth was successfully removed. We're happy to report this guy is much more comfortable and very happily back to eating all of his favorite (soft) snacks!

🔔 Here's your mid-week hydration reminder💧

Keeping your horse well-hydrated during the cold months supports:
✔ healthy digestion and gut motility
✔reduced risk of impaction colic
✔better recovery from exercise
✔normal appetite and manure consistency

🔔Did you know?
Horses consume LESS natural water in the winter because they're typically not grazing on "moisturized" pasture. Most horses will drink about 1.5 qurts of water per pound of dry forage intake. For example, if a horse eats 20lbs of dry hay per day, they should be drinking about 7.5 gallons of water each day.

💧Some things to remember:
➡ You can increase water intake by soaking regular feed rations
➡ Horses will drink up to 40% more when offered warm water; try to keep it between 45–65°F
➡ Offer free-choice salt and/ or add electrolytes to their diet to encourage drinking
➡ Break ice frequently and offer clean, fresh water as much as possible
➡ Monitor your horse's daily water intake; make sure you and your horse's care team know what's normal!
➡ Some geriatric horses may have more sensitive teeth and be less likely to drink cold water, just something to consider for our elderly friends!

💙 Better hydration = healthier horses (and humans, so go drink a glass of water yourself after you read this!)

We're galloping right toward the year of the Fire Horse (which officially starts on 2/17!) and looking forward to another calendar year of helping our clients keep their horses happy and healthy, whatever their goals may be ❤🐴🩺

Here's what we're *hoping* to leave behind in 2025 and welcome in for 2026 🤣

🐴: Prascend Administration

If your horse or donkey is on Prascend (pergolide), this one’s for you 👇

👉 Keep Prascend tablets in the foil blister pack until you’re ready to give them.
You can feed the tablet on top of your horse’s regular grain, offer it by hand, hide it in a treat, or administer it via syringe with water just make sure that pill stays protected as long as possible before dosing.

⚕ Why it matters: Exposure to air causes Prascend tablets to oxidize, which reduces the efficacy of the medication.

👉 Pro tip: If your horse or donkey is on a half-tablet dose, you can safely store the unused half in a small jar or old medication container with a silica packet (those little “Do Not Eat” packets that absorb moisture).

Don’t waste your time, money, or effort when using pergolide. Protect Prascend from air and light for maximum effectiveness ✨

Our 10-day forecast is looking... chilly ❄

We'll be sharing some cold weather riding and horse management tips in the next few days. But first, we wanted to ask our friends, clients, and community: what's your cutoff?

We're curious about what factors YOU are considering when deciding whether or not to exercise your horse in the cold. Every horse is an individual so fitness level, age, workload, turnout schedule, and medical history may weigh your decision. Let us know in the comments 👇

Gelding doesn’t always have to mean the end of the genetic line 👀

Did you know that thanks to epididymal freezing, s***m can be preserved at the time of castration? 🍒✂➡❄️🐴 It's true!

🔬During this process, the epididymal tail where viable s***m are stored is dissected from the remainder of the testicle. The s***m are then flushed out of the epididymal tail, processed, and cryopreserved for later use.

🔬Because epididymal freezing immediately follows castration, it is suitable for most stallions over the age of three. While there are no guarantees, this technique can achieve pregnancy rates comparable to traditionally frozen semen. Owners who pursue this option will ideally have a good idea of their horse's genetic potential and be committed to storing the frozen semen in an appropriate facility.

🐴💙 Epididymal freezing is one of the many stallion services we offer here at Millbrook Equine! If you think your future gelding is a good candidate, be sure to discuss this option with your vet.

You can explore the advanced reproductive services we provide for stallions and mares at www.millbrookequine.com/reproductiveservices

✂️For transparency: these photos are an assortment of steps of the process - they are not related to one particular case and some of the castrations did not involve epididymal freezing 🙂

The Dog Days of December 🐾

It’s time to light those mares 💡

Don’t forget to light your early foaling mares & mares that you’re planning to breed in the early part of 2026.

An effective lighting program lasts for 60 days, and involves providing your mare with 16 hours of daylight each day.

Days are short right now! But you’ve got options to make it happen:
💡Keep mares outside during daylight hours
💡Provide light in the mare’s stall from 4pm to 11pm each day to supplement natural light. Remember the light should be bright enough to read by - a 100 watt bulb is sufficient for a 12x12 stall, or use Equilume products!
💡Outfitting your mare with an Equilume mask if she lives outside 24/7.

Lighting programs for broodmares help tremendously when breeding early in the season as they encourage mares to begin cycling mid-February through mid-March.

You can purchase your Equilume Belfield Light Mask (specifically designed for breeding) through our online pharmacy 👉 https://pharmacy.millbrookequine.com/products/equilume-belfield-light-mask?_pos=1&_sid=4b91f9de3&_ss=r
