Tried to post this earlier in the day, but we were busy taking care of equine patients! Happy National Day of the Horse! December 13th is recognized as the National Day of the Horse to give horses the recognition for what they have done over the ages for the economy, history and makeup of the US! We all know how good they are for human's souls as well! So, in honor of National Day of the Horse, figured we could share horses that the staff members of SWEH call their own! Everything from Minis & Ponies to Shires & Clydesdales, big and small, we love them all! It also shows breeds of horses we commonly work on. Anything from the smallest of Minis and Ponies to the largest of the Draft breeds, all are welcome here! Have a Happy National Day of the Horse!

Our very loved Dr. Kelsey Naftel completed her last day at Southwest Equine yesterday! She completed her one year internship and is heading back to the grass fields back in Colorado. She already has a job lined up at a clinic in Colorado and we know she will exceed expectations wherever she goes! Her kind, caring personality and overall joy and passion for life will be very missed around here! We wish Dr Kelsey Naftel the best and know she will excel in any path she takes in life!
