While this is for an arena in Texas responding to the number of positive Coggins AKA EIA horses at the Bowie livestock arena and all of the potential exposure to horses who were at that facility, this is a good reminder for all of us. Be aware of where the horses coming into your barn are coming from and where they've been. Yes the argument is that a horse can have a negative Coggins one day and the next get bitten by a fly and become positive but knowing where horses have been and knowing what they've been exposed to is important. Just keeping your head on a swivel and being aware of what's happening in the horseworld can help you protect the horses at your farm.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:

Any horse that has been to the Bowie Livestock barn or has been in contact with horses from Bowie Livestock Barn is NOT ALLOWED on the property for the next 30 days.

*Edit to add*

As with anything there will be a million different people saying a million different things. We can all hope that the original information that was shared wasn’t completely accurate, however we are still going to be proactive in protecting our facility and our animals from any possible threats. When more information is released we may change plans going forward, but for now we are going to stand by not allowing any horses from Bowie or in contact with horses from Bowie from coming to our facility.

*Edit 8/19*

Pease see the post we shared from Bowie. They confirmed a horse tested positive on Friday and are awaiting further test results from the state which will be back Friday to confirm whether the horse actually is positive or if it was a false positive. As such we are also awaiting those results before we open back up as normal. Here is a link to their post as well.

🛑Alert! Check your livestock feed for a recent recall - especially TN horse owners.

ADM Animal Nutrition has voluntarily recalled multiple brand names of their chicken feed, swine feed, cattle feed, and horse feed.

Horse feed Seniorglo 50-lb. bags - Lot 505426QN - were specifically sold in Tennessee. This product may contain increased levels of calcium, which could cause weight loss and the animal to become weak and listless. This product was distributed between Jan. 24, 2024, and Feb. 1, 2024.

It began with a customer complaint related to swine refusing to eat feed. ADM investigated and discovered that the company’s facility in Illinois had experienced an equipment failure that impacted ingredient distribution. Specific lots could contain harmful levels of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium sodium, and/or chloride.

A LOT to talk about in weather the next several days. Pipe-bursting cold air is fully on the table early next week Jan. 15-18th. Single digits looks very likely for the Mid-South.

I'm not ready to put snow in the official forecast, but long range data is also hinting at a big snow for some areas. Let's get through the wind and rain today and Friday, but keep this in the back of your mind.

Our Critical Care ICU barn gets a facelift as we continue to expand with additional IV fluid/ specialized fluid pump stalls. Very excited!

Sometimes medical care isn’t enough….you need your emotional support buddy with you. When an older horse came into the clinic tonight with a colic, his pasture mate came with him to keep him from being anxious and when the two parted ways as his buddy was loaded back onto the trailer so he could stay for iV fluids given the severity of his colic, it was clear he was going to be too stressed by himself so his friend was placed in the stall next to him.
Keeping hospital stays as stress free as possible is really important to us and when we almost doubled the size of our inpatient barns, adding another 10 stalls last month, I never suspected it would be used to house an emotional support horse but I’m so glad this worked out for these two. ❤️ Our older gentleman patient is happily hanging out on IV fluids and his buddy is thinking this is pretty cool getting a room service check in every hour while his water and hay intake gets logged.
