🐴✨ Happy International Day of the Horse! ✨🐴

As veterinarians, we are constantly amazed by the strength, grace, and loyalty that horses bring into our lives. They are not just magnificent creatures; they are also complex athletes, companions, and healers. Today, on this special day, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible bond we share with these majestic animals and the vital role they play in our lives.

On this International Day of the Horse, let’s also remember the importance of responsible care and the role we all play in ensuring these beautiful creatures live long, healthy lives. ❤️

Do you have a young horse lover in your family! Would your child like to spend an afternoon learning more about horses and “horse doctoring” at GVEC? Join Dr. Nydi Rivera and Dr. Amy Leibeck on Wednesday, November 13th from 4:30pm-6:00pm for some activities that will help you to better describe horse health problems. Learn how to bandage a leg. Learn about some of the unique tools that veterinarians use to take care of horses.

The afternoon will be catered to kids from 7-12 years. We will need to limit it to 14 children so that there can be lots of hands on learning going on!
