🌞 Summer has Arrived 🌡️
As temps rise, so does the risk of overheating—even in mild or breezy conditions. Here’s how to safely and effectively cool your horse down after work or turnout:

💧 Cold water is your best friend — hose generously!
🚫 Don’t worry about “shock” — cold water won’t cause tying-up or colic.
❌ No scraping needed — leave the water to do its job evaporating heat.
🚶 Keep them moving — light walking helps circulation and muscle recovery.
⏱️ Monitor recovery time — every horse cools at a different pace!
Some horses peak in temperature after exercise, so continue cooling and checking their comfort even 30 minutes later.

👉 Stay safe out there! Have questions about summer care? Give us a call — we're here to help your horses stay happy and healthy all season long. 🐴❤️

Look, we get it – one minute your horse is eating, trotting, and occasionally acting like a fire-breathing dragon when the wind picks up. Seems healthy, right?
But here’s the kicker: horses are world-class pain hiders. Just because they're not limping doesn’t mean everything's perfect.

That’s where preventative vet care comes in — because waiting until there’s a problem often means a bigger bill and more stress.

💡 What type of preventative services do we offer?
✔️ Dental Exam
✔️ Lameness Exam
✔️ Vaccines & deworming plans
✔️ Nutrition & weight management
✔️ Bloodwork to catch sneaky stuff early
✔️ And of course, any weird behaviors (you know the ones 👀)

💰 Why does it cost what it does?

Because your horse's health is being checked by dedicated professionals with years of training, using specialized tools all to prevent the expensive disasters.

Tick Season is Here – Protect Your Horses! 🦟🐴

Ticks aren’t just a nuisance; they can cause tissue irritation, hair loss, anemia, and even transmit serious diseases like Lyme disease and piroplasmosis. 😷

👉 Ticks love areas where your horse’s skin is thinner—mane, chest, underbelly, tail, and inside the flank are hotspots.
If you find a tick on your horse, remove it immediately:
✅ Wear gloves
✅ Use tweezers & pull straight out by the head
✅ Drop the tick in rubbing alcohol
✅ Clean the site and wash your hands

🚫 Don’t crush, twist, smother, or burn the tick—this can do more harm than good.
Have questions about tick control or disease prevention?

🐴Understanding Colic So You Can Prevent It🐴

Owning horses means being vigilant about their health, and understanding the basics of colic is key to preventing and monitoring this serious condition. Our friends at the American Quarter Horse Association have a great article breaking down colic and its symptoms.

It's a must-read for anyone new to owning horses, or a great refresher for those with more experience.

⭐ https://www.aqha.com/-/colic-101

At Oklahoma City Equine Clinic, we provide 24-hour emergency care and believe that colic should always be treated as an emergency. If you think one of your horses might be experiencing colic, don’t hesitate to contact us right away. Early detection and quick action can make all the difference!
