DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SPOT COLIC IN HORSES?

Colic indicates a painful problem in the horse's abdomen (belly), which can be caused by a number of different conditions. Less than 10% of all colic cases are severe enough to require surgery or cause the death of the horse; nevertheless, every case of colic should be taken seriously because it can be difficult to tell the mild ones from the potentially serious ones in the early stages.

Horses show signs of abdominal pain in a wide variety of ways, and usually a horse shows only a few of the signs during an episode of colic. The rule of thumb is — the more obvious the signs of pain, the more serious the problem.

If you suspect the horse is suffering from colic, we suggest that you:

• Alert your veterinarian immediately

• Remove all hay and grain from the horse's surroundings

• Don't medicate without your veterinarian's approval, as pain medications can mask clinical signs

• Walk the horse around if it's continually rolling or in danger of hurting itself — but do not tire the horse with relentless walking and don't approach the animal if it's not safe

• Keep the horse under close observation until the signs of colic resolve or the veterinarian arrives

The key to increasing the chances of a good outcome is to identify the problem early and get your veterinarian involved from the start.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of colic signs. Horses are individuals and may display signs of pain in a variety of ways. Always consult your horse doctor for more information.

As we kick off the new year, it’s a good time to take a step back and evaluate your horse’s health. Monthly body condition scoring allows you to monitor your horse’s condition to ensure they are staying healthy and fit.

These are the 6 key areas you should be assessing when doing a body condition score. Rate each area 1-9 and then calculate the average to get your horse’s body condition.

FUN FACT FRIDAY!

Are you familiar with the many adaptations that help your horse stay warm during the cold winter months?

🌾 Hindgut digestion of hay produces the most heat, acting as a small furnace inside of the horse. This is why free choice; good quality hay is so important in the winter.

💪 Horses have a huge muscle mass and muscle activity produces heat. This includes running and playing and even shivering if their body temperature starts to drop. It is important to remember that these activities also will result in a bigger caloric demand so free choice hay and in some cases, grain, is often needed.

🧥 To blanket or not to blanket is a constant debate but either way, as it starts to get cold your horse will grow a thicker coat. If you decide to leave your horse unblanketed you may notice that they look “fluffy”. This is due to a phenomenon called piloerection where the hair stands up to better trap air within. Two layers of the coat also help with warmth. The inner layer is softer and has air pockets to create an insulating layer. The outer layer is coarse and has oils that keep moisture from penetrating the insulating layer and keep the horse warm.

⚖️ Wild horses go into the winter heavier than ideal, and the fat serves as an extra layer of insulation. However, if a horse is going to be kept heavily blanketed and in a barn during the cold weather months this is unnecessary and can lead to obesity related issues.

🦵Their distal limbs (below the knees and hocks) are made of mostly bones and tendons, tissues that are resistant to the cold temperatures.

🦶The hooves have an alternative route of blood circulation through larger vessels that can be used in low temperatures. This is why horses can stand in snow without detrimental effects.

👃A horse’s nose has a robust blood supply and is rounded so that it is less susceptible to frostbite than a human’s nose.

Happy National Day of the Horse to all our equine friends but especially to our sturdy lesson horses that keep our clients safe and happy! 🤠

We have had several cases of esophageal obstruction or “choke” in horses within the last week and want to share some reminders. Unlike in humans, “choke” refers to an obstruction of the esophagus, not of the airway. It is a common equine emergency that can be alarming for owners.

Signs of choke may include:
✨Coughing or retching while shaking the head and stretching the neck

✨Hypersalivation and feed material coming from the nostrils

✨Signs similar to colic such as rolling, pawing, or sweating

What to do?
‼️Remove all food and water immediately.

‼️Do not attempt to sq**rt water into the mouth or administer any oral medications. You will greatly increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia if water or feed material is inhaled into the lungs.

📞Call your veterinarian. Some mild cases of choke may resolve on their own within a few minutes. Other cases require veterinary care to help remove the obstruction and prevent further complications such as aspiration pneumonia from developing.

Tips to avoid choke:
✨ALWAYS soak pelleted grain. We see choke happen in young horses with good teeth as well. We always recommend soaking pellets, cubes, and beet pulp regardless of the age of the horse.

✨Keep your horse up to date on dental care. We recommend checking teeth at least once a year. Some horses require exams more often if they have dental abnormalities.

✨If your horse is a quick eater, try feeding them in a slow feeder to force them to slow down and chew better.
