It's that time of year again! We love the sky production videos of this fantastic display but it's even better in person. The boats will be on the water in Carroll Creek, Frederick until early March so consider coming to visit them. Please vote for your favorites like the Zodiac and help us raise money for Days End Farm Horse Rescue.

Downtown Frederick is home to one of the nation's most unique winter light displays - Sailing Through the Winter Solstice on Carroll Creek Park ⛵

The 2024-25 winter fleet sets sail on the morning of Saturday, November 23rd.

Head out to Carroll Creek Park and watch the flotilla assemble while jamming to live music and enjoying food from a local food truck.

It's quite the operation - watch as the fleet arrives and is moored for the winter on the chilly waters of Carroll Creek.

The fleet will remain anchored in place to bring light on our darkest days and be removed in March 2025.

Monocacy Equine would like to welcome Dr. Manrique Miranda to the practice. Dr. Miranda is a native of Costa Rica, but lived most of his life in North Carolina. He was introduced to the veterinary field while working at a horse barn in N.C. and later completed his Bachelor's and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees at NC State University. During his time in vet school, Dr. Miranda was co-coordinator of the Foal Team, providing after-hours care to critical foal patients, worked in the Large Animal Hospital caring for and treating hospitalized patients, and was an anatomy teaching assistant, helping first year vet students prepare for their assessments. During his clinical year, he won the ACVIM Clinical Excellence in Internal Medicine Award. Dr. Miranda then completed an equine focused internship near Greensboro, NC. There, he developed interest in internal medicine, neonatology, and lameness. Outside of the veterinary field, he enjoys soccer, getting outside with his Siberian Husky, Juno, the Oxford Comma and the occasional chess match with his wife, Asmae.

As many of you may know I grew up in Asheville, NC. Riding along with a now retired large animal vet all over the rural mountain counties as a high schooler. I have a deep love of the place and family and friends still there. A lot of people are looking for ways to donate. Below is the link to donate to the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association who is spearheading management of veterinary and animal care. They are working closely with the Department of Agriculture to restore veterinary care to WNC. When you donate make sure to check disaster relief. I am so thankful for all our wonderful clients wanting to be so supportive. Pictures of a mule string that has been extremely effective at reaching the hardest hit mountain hollows. - Dr. Bretz

Unfortunately our old AOL mail account has been compromised. This email will also be deactivated soon so please do not use it as a primary point of contact anymore. The correct email address should end in monocacyequine . com. We have been working to deter people away from the AOL account for about a year now. Please do not attempt to open a party invitation from us. Thank you. (All work, no parties).
