This past weekend the Pine Bush Equine Services team took a team bonding trip to Rocking Horse Ranch Resort!
You normally see this team working on your equine companions, however, we took a break from the medicine side of the job to experience horses in a different way!
We want to thank Steve, Nicky, Sarah, the ranch handlers, and the whole staff at Rocking Horse Ranch for making our experience one to remember!

Spring doesn't just mean vaccines. Horses require deworming once or twice a year, depending on their specific needs. Before deworming in the spring, we recommend having a f***l egg count (FEC) done. This procedure allows us to measure the number of worm eggs a horse is shedding in its f***s. Based on the results, we will recommend whether you need to deworm your horse.

Performing routine preventative care is an important part of your horse’s wellbeing and care. Call us at 845-361-4917 if you have any questions or are interested in booking your next appointment.

Pine Bush Equine Services is open Monday - Friday 8am-5pm for scheduled visits, and 24/7 on call emergency services for current clients!

✨REMINDER: ✨
A sudden change in diet when spring arrives can increase the risk of digestive health problems and laminitis. In the spring, grass can accumulate high amounts of hydrolyzable carbohydrates (HC) that might be unsafe for certain horses to consume!

Have questions about how to best transition your horses to spring pastures? Give us a call.

Pine Bush Equine Services is open Monday - Friday 8am-5pm. You can reach us at 845-361-4917!

Horses with mid-body sesamoid fractures are very painful and the best option to help them is to repair the fracture with surgery. These are images taken during surgery. The photograph shows the fracture line before repair. The image is slightly cloudy because there is a large amount of blood in the joint from when the fracture occurred, that needs to be flushed out. Residual blood causes some cloudiness for the camera. The radiographs (x-rays) taken during surgery show the screw placed across the fracture in lag fashion to compress the fracture. The white arrows are showing dark areas that are air within the joint from surgery(note how far up the leg the joint extends). After surgery the horse is recovered in a cast. Approximately 30% of horses with repair of these fractures with a lag screw can return to racing. The prognosis for life is excellent. Thanks to the expertise and technical skill of Dr. Mike Ross, this horse returned to training and racing.
