There is a confined strangles case that was at the MAC this weekend. Please keep any horses that you had at the facility separate from others for the next 2 weeks, as able. You can check their temperature daily to make sure that it’s less than 101*f. If you suspect that your horse has strangles, please contact a vet immediately.

🛑 Before you stick a round bale out in your 🐴 horse's pasture... Please DON'T.
*This is NOT a message not to BUY round bales. Just take 5 minutes and...

Read 👇🏼this👇🏼 FIRST!

First of all, there is good quality ⭐ hay, and there is NOT-so-good quality hay.
Of course, BAD quality hay can make horses sick 🤢, BUT... GOOD quality hay can also make them sick. 😒
What do I mean by that?⁉️

☝🏼 If you give your horses ENDLESS access to a good quality dry roughage, such as a grass hay, especially if their pasture grass is getting sparse, they will eat it ENDLESSLY, not taking enough breaks for water, increasing the possibility of impaction colic. 🙀
Add to that, ✌🏼the cooler weather 🌬️ often makes them drink less. (Double whammy!) AND 👌🏼 with the seasonal change🍂🍁, most owners will be giving their herd a dewormer. (TRIPLE whammy!) 🙈🙉🙊

Unfortunately, this is why we call October 🎃 "Colic Month." ☠️

I realize round bales are much more cost 💲 effective than square bales, but there ARE ways to give them to your equids SAFELY. ⛑️
1. Keep your GOOD QUALITY round bales protected from the ⛈️ weather, and portion it out in pieces daily, OR
2. Put a giant NIBBLE net on 1 bale at a time and keep under cover.
3. Make sure their drinking water 💦 is refreshed frequently and somewhat near where they are eating the hay.

If you have any questions or concerns, give me a shout!

While it’s a common equine emergency, esophageal obstruction (“choke”) 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 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, choke 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.

I'm 💀! I laughed at this for about 10 minutes too long! Someone at the distribution company said, "Elf it! It's Christmas!" I can't even say "I scored an awesome box!"... BUT the kids will have fun popping those air bags! #vetlife

Tryina keep it tolerable in this heat is a challenge. I set up a mister for my equids. I've got it on a timer. Mo seems to like it. Let's see how long this lasts...🤔🤷🏼‍♀️🫣😳🤠 But for less than $40, I'm giving it a try! ✌️💗🐴

The Best Horses in Heaven, They Have No Tail by Miska Paget The best horses in Heaven they have no tail. This is a rule they all know without fail. For when a new horse arrives with a short cut bob, they all know that this horse did a very good job. His owner could not bear to part with her friend so she saved his tail, wrapped in ribbons and in braids, to hold with his memory in a very loving way. To enter Heaven without a tail is an honor, a message, that without fail announces to everyone, far and wide that this horse was more than a wonderful ride. But this horse was loved and cherished by one and when his time serving on this Earth was done he left behind a broken heart and a soul from which he never will part.

The cutest sound in the world!🥰 ✌️💜💛💚🍼 🐴

Top 3 reasons horses colic in winter 🥶❄️🥺🐴 1. They're not drinking enough water. 2. Free access to round bale... And therefore they're not drinking enough. (Trust me they're not.) 3. Deworming during a cold snap and/or wet weather (when they are NOT drinking enough). Give electrolytes. Put out some salt licks. Offer warm water too (if possible). They don't like drinking ice water when they're cold either. ✌️🤠

Itchy horse? We can help! Call us or send us a message at B-Line Equine, if your equid is in need of some anti-allergy care! Office 337.662.3925

We couldn't be happier with Patches' progress! Kudos to Dr. Hannah on the stitch job, splint application, and veterinary guidance. And bravo to Lisa & the Webb's for diligently caring for him and adhering to treatment plans, even when that meant keeping him confined and bandaged for a while. 👏🙂
