🌀⚠️ ALL OF TODAY'S APPOINTMENTS WILL BE RESCHEDULED ⚠️🌀
PLEASE STAY SAFE!
🎆 HAPPY 4TH OF JULY 🎆
The clinic will be closed today, but Dr. Jenkins will be available for emergencies. ☎️ Please call DON'T TEXT ☎️
Sharing this information again for tonight's festivities - be safe & smart out there!
Here are some tips to keep your equine friends safe during the booming festivities:
🎆 Be aware of scheduled firework displays in your area and communicate with your neigh-bors, maybe kindly ask them to give you some notice if they are planning to use fireworks.
⚠️ If your horses are staying out, check their paddock or pasture for any hazards like rocks, branches, or holes that could lead to injury if the horses start bolting.
📻 Turn up the radio and the fans in the barn to drown out some of the loud noises and leave the lights on to help lessen the effect of the bright flashes.💡
🎧 Consider using equine ear plugs (small foam balls that fit into the ear canal to help reduce sound)
⚕️ If you are really worried about your horse's safety or are unsure, consult your veterinarian about calming agents and sedatives.
🐶🐱 Practice the same techniques with your small animals, too. Keep them inside and distracted. When you take them outside - have them on a leash to potty & stay with them to lessen the chance of them running away while alone.
If you are planning on setting off fireworks yourself this week, enjoy the celebrations, but please be considerate of the people and the animals living around you. God bless America! 🇺🇸
Teeny little love 😍
If you've had an appointment in the last week then you've met our amazing 4th year LSU vet student, Mariah!
She's been with us for many years as an intern prior to vet school & we can't wait to see just how successful she is in her endeavors in veterinary medicine! She's amazing and we're so happy to have her with us!
With hurricane season being upon us, we'd like to get an evacuation list of barns & properties together for our clients to utilize in the event of an emergency event.
A majority of our clientele board in flood prone areas or on the coast and would be interested/in need of a plan & place to move their horse(s) &/or livestock further inland. We will be creating a spreadsheet to keep all contacts organized and available to be sent out to those who request it.
If you have a barn or stalls in working order and would like to extend any of your available opening(s) to those who might need it, please email us with the following details:
• Your name, address, & phone number
• Barn location & address (must have running water & electricity)
• Number of stalls/ paddocks available.
• Vaccine requirements for your property.
• Types of animals you can house.
• Boarding fees (if applicable)
Please email information to:
[email protected]
Also! If you have connections in our neighboring out of town areas that could help, please forward them this request!
Thank you so much! In the face of an emergency, we all have to work together, and we greatly appreciate any help you can provide!
When you're but don't want to ~be~ hot - we're loving these fans..
Literally.
Perk #428: all coggins and vaccine appointments come with free hugs!
July 4th is almost upon us, and many equestrians and farm owners out there are already dreading the fireworks that are going to terrorize their animals in the night.
Here are some tips to keep your equine friends safe during the booming festivities:
🎆 Be aware of scheduled firework displays in your area and communicate with your neigh-bors, maybe kindly ask them to give you some notice if they are planning to use fireworks.
⚠️ If your horses are staying out, check their paddock or pasture for any hazards like rocks, branches, or holes that could lead to injury if the horses start bolting.
📻 Turn up the radio and the fans in the barn to drown out some of the loud noises and leave the lights on to help lessen the effect of the bright flashes.💡
🎧 Consider using equine ear plugs (small foam balls that fit into the ear canal to help reduce sound)
⚕️ If you are really worried about your horse's safety or are unsure, consult your veterinarian about calming agents and sedatives.
🐶🐱 Practice the same techniques with your small animals, too. Keep them inside and distracted, and ask your regular small animal vet to prescribe calming meds if needed - call them now to ensure ample time for medication filling and dosing. When you take them outside - have them on a leash to potty & stay with them to lessen the chance of them running away while alone.
If you are planning on setting off fireworks yourself this week, enjoy the celebrations, but please be considerate of the people and the animals living around you. God bless America! 🇺🇸

The saga continues 😅
☎️ Phones are STILL out 😵💫 😡
& these 2 were waiting for us at the clinic this morning 🫣😅 maybe they thought they missed their yearly appointment?! Or just needed a midnight stroll?! We dont know but if you recognize them please have their owner call the emergency line to arrange pick up! 🤣
281.910.8818
It's always something, right?! 😅
Our phone lines were accidentally cut during some routine work out at the pole - we currently have no phones, but we do have internet - if you call, please leave a message and we'll return your call as soon as we can - you can also send us an email in the meantime!
Thank you!
Out with the old &
In with the 👍WHOOP👍
Doc's new (& well deserved) rig will now be gracing your farms!
Please don't shoot 😅
Hurricane season is here and being prepared ahead of time is key.
Have your horses vaccines (VE&W encephalities, West Nile Virus, Rabies, Tetanus) & Coggins updated now - please do not call us the day before or the day you plan to evacuate in hopes of getting them done right away - we could potentially not be available to fulfill last minute requests depending on the storm and our own families & plans.
📢 Remember: we still have emergency kits available for purchase at the clinic - they include all essential items to help you stabilize most emergencies while waiting for veterinary care to arrive 📢
When a hurricane approaches, the safety and well-being of your horse(s) become the top priority.
• Evacuation Plan: Have a detailed evacuation plan in place, including routes, designated shelters, and transportation arrangements for your horses.
• Identification: Ensure each horse has visible and updated identification, such as microchips, ID tags, or neck straps, with your contact information.
• Secure Structures: Reinforce barns, stables, and other structures to withstand strong winds. Remove any loose items that could become projectiles.
• Safe Zones: Identify safe turnout areas away from trees, power lines, and flood-prone areas. Fencing should be secure and free of hazards.
• Records and Photos: Keep copies of important documents, like ownership papers, health records and coggins, in waterproof containers. Take photos of each horse for identification.
• Practice: Familiarize your horses with trailers, transport vehicles, and other people handling them in advance. Regularly practice loading and unloading to reduce stress during evacuation.

2 month "look at me" for Baby Cash 😍

But still perfect 🥰
In case you were unaware - it's raining. Bad.
We are without internet at the moment, but our phones are still working 🤔 yea, we don't know how that makes sense, either.
Be safe - be patient - don't drive in dangerous conditions - we can easily reschedule if you wish!
We will keep you updated as best we can on any changes!

Do you believe in the healing power of horses? We do.
🌞 offers equine-assisted services to help our military community and individuals with disabilities reach their unbridled potential. Because no one should be forgotten.
Available resources, such as traditional talk therapy, do not appeal to many in the military community who have experienced or witnessed trauma. However, horses and a supportive community can play key roles in their restorative journey.
Those who have served our country deserve a safe community where they find healing, purpose, and a sense of belonging. That's what Horses for Heroes is all about.
