TVE would first like to welcome Tara and her horse, Ming to the farm! Ming is here for training and we can’t wait to see him and Tara out and about next year.

Second, we would like to congratulate Emilee on her purchase of her new horse, Bond! These two have a super bright future ahead.

TRUST THE PROCESS

Don’t get discouraged or frustrated with your horse when progress seems to go backwards. Changing how a horse goes and addressing any sort of muscle tightness is a process. Just like it is in humans.

Put in the work, take your time and your horse will thank you ♥️

Do your part to try and make sure our hardworking vets & their staff can stay home with their families for the holidays ♥️

As we enter Thanksgiving week in the US, many of your vets will be out of town or spending much needed time with their families.

It’s times like these that horse owners need to practice preventative caregiving.

During this holiday time, as an emergency only vet, I recommend the following:

- Don’t deworm your horse right now.

- Don’t start a new feed right now.

- Don’t get a new round bale of coastal hay right now if you’ve let the last one go to dust (give small amounts at a time or mix with a stemmy hay until they’ve had their fill, then give the round bale).

- Don’t change schedules.

- Don’t vaccinate your horse right now, especially if you have a known reactor.

- Don’t be in a rush and fail to soak your feed for long enough (choke risk) - especially if you’re late to feed due to holiday errands/get togethers.

- If you have visitors, limit treats. Ensure gates are closed. Make sure feed doors and bins locked.

There is already a shortage of equine vets - and the few we do have will likely be out of town or trying to enjoy the holiday.

Let’s all have a very Happy Thanksgiving. And let’s let our vets stay home with family!

Remember: Proper Preparation Prevents Postponed Potlucks! 😂🥴

Sarah-May has always struggled with confidence o/f…. but this morning she had her game face on and actually ASKED ME to put the fences up 😱

Ft. Oliver “parking” her at our wash bay at the end of their lesson to let her know he was done 😅
