⭐ - Meet Katie! ⭐

Katie is an undergrad at Michigan State University, planning to apply to vet school after she graduates in 2027.

During her week with us, Katie learned so much about lameness evaluations, interpreting ultrasounds in mares, and even got to observe AI breeding. Her favorite parts? Vaccinating horses, helping take x-rays, and riding along on farm calls!

We’re so glad she joined us and wish her the best as she works toward her veterinary career. 🐴

☀️ Summer’s here — and so is the heat! ☀️

Here are a few easy ways to help your horse stay cool:

🌞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 — Ride early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid peak heat.
🌳 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞 — Ride in shaded areas when possible.
💪 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 — Overweight, under-muscled, or unfit horses struggle more in the heat. Make sure your horse is in proper condition for summer work.
💧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐬 — Offer electrolytes in an extra water bucket or mixed with feed to replace what’s lost through sweat.
🚿 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 — After riding, hose down your horse thoroughly. Focus on the largest muscle areas and key veins: the jugular (neck) and saphenous (inner thigh). Don’t forget to scrape off excess water to help with cooling.
💨 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰 — If your horse sweats while stalled, use fans to help keep them cool.

If you have any concerns we’d be happy to help! Schedule your appointment today.

✨ – Meet Kylee! ✨

Kylee is a veterinary student at the University of Illinois. After graduation, she plans to pursue an equine internship before heading into mixed-animal practice.

During her two weeks with us, she found the reproductive work especially interesting—it helped solidify her interest in this area. Her favorite part of the externship? Having the opportunity to talk through real cases with our doctors, from challenging lameness evaluations to complex breeding situations. She thoroughly enjoyed being included in the discussions and learning from their thought processes.

We loved having Kylee with us and can’t wait to see what her future holds! 🐴

🐴 Say hello to Dr. Maria James!

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Maria James to the SVEC family! Maria grew up in Lincoln, Michigan, got her first horse at age nine, and has loved horses ever since. She started working at Alcona Animal Clinic when she was just 15 (riding her bike to work!) and eventually went on to become a licensed vet tech. After years in the field, she followed her dream and earned her veterinary degree from Iowa State.

Maria is especially interested in sports medicine and reproduction, and she brings a calm, down-to-earth approach to working with horses and their owners. She was actually a longtime client here at SVEC before joining the team, so this is a full-circle moment.

Outside of work, she’s a dressage rider, trail rider, hunter, fisher, and former collegiate archery champ. Oh, and she’s a proud dog person, even though her cat kind of adopted her.

We’re lucky to have her on board. Help us welcome her in the comments! 👇

Please join us in wishing Dr. Ashlee all the best as she embarks on the next chapter of her veterinary career — today is her last day at SVEC. Over the past year, she has brought compassion, dedication, and a bright spirit to our team, and we are incredibly grateful for all she’s contributed. You’ll be deeply missed, Dr. Ashlee, but we’re so excited to see all the amazing things your future holds!

💉🐎As warmer months approach, it's important to be on the lookout for Potomac Horse Fever (PHF), a potentially serious illness in horses caused by the bacterium Neorickettsia risticii. Transmitted through ingestion of infected aquatic insects or snails, PHF can cause symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, colic, and laminitis. Cases typically spike in late spring through early fall.

𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞. Keeping barns and water sources clean also helps reduce exposure. Early detection and treatment are key to recovery. 🐎💉

✨ – Meet Elizabeth! ✨

I’m heading into my senior year at Michigan State University, majoring in Animal Science with a concentration in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I’m currently in the process of applying to vet schools.

During my time at SVEC, I gained invaluable hands-on experience — from administering vaccines and taking X-rays, all under the guidance of the SVEC veterinarians. One of the most memorable moments was witnessing the birth of a foal.

Thanks to my time at SVEC, I’m now considering focusing more on equine medicine!
