Espophageal obstruction, or “choke,” is a common equine emergency but can look alarming, especially if you've never seen it before. Unlike in human medicine, where choking refers to a tracheal (or windpipe) obstruction, choke in horses refers to an obstruction of the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.

Most commonly, choking occurs when horses eat concentrated feed too quickly without chewing it appropriately, which results in a firm bolus lodged in the animal's esophagus. However, esophageal obstruction can also occur with hay or straw, hard treats, carrots, or nonfood objects. Poor dentition, which leads to inadequate chewing, is also a frequent cause of choke.

While common, chokes can have serious consequences so be sure to call your veterinarian as soon as you notice signs of choke. A bad choke is fairly obvious to both veterinarians and horse owners, but a mild choke could be confused with an upper respiratory tract infection or colic.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!☘️

Irish trivia: do you know what the three breeds pictured below (the Connemara pony, the Irish Draught horse and the Thoroughbred horse) have in common?

They’re all genetic descendants of the Irish Hobby, a breed now extinct that was developed in Ireland prior to the 13th century and was prized for his lightness and swiftness. This quick and agile horse was popular for skirmishing and often ridden by light cavalry; Hobbies were used by both sides during the Wars of Scottish Independence (notably, Robert the Bruce employed these horses for his guerrilla warfare, covering 60-70 miles a day) and even King Henry VIII took an interest to the breed and bought Hobbies for his personal racing stable. The term “hobby” became then synonymous with any “activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure.”

While Hobby horses may be extinct, the horse remains a proud symbol of the Irish heritage and today Ireland is at the center of the Thoroughbred industry, despite being a small country with a population of fewer than five million people.

Slainte!
