This Hackney Pony was suffering from a resistant infection that had started with a throat surgery, moved to a tooth, and then spread to the respiratory system. With proper respiratory diagnostics, culture, and sensitivity (which showed resistant Enterobacter cloacae) we were able to isolate the exact bacterias growing. With the correct systemic meds we were able to target the bacteria. Using those meds along with iontophoresis we could target exactly where the meds were needed most while hyperbarics helped potentiate both the systemic and iontophoresis antibiotics for the most efficacy.

Happy Presidents' Day! Did you know horses were instrumental in the making of Mount Rushmore? Horses carried Gutzon Borglum and a state forester to scout sites for the grand carving. If you were planning your own Mount Rushmore what horses would you carve?

February is national pet dental month! Your horse's teeth should be checked annually. Improper dental care can impact so much more than just your horse chewing. Having misaligned/poorly ground teeth can even cause issues with riding and TMJ

Santa’s reindeer are hard at work aquatreding to finish preparing for tonight. Both the pool and aquatred provide full body workouts for the horses making use of these aquatic therapies. Horses that first start in the aquatred start at about 5 minutes of work and gradually increase as their fitness level increases.

Your horse can get a spa treatment 6 days of the week. It’s a great therapy for horses coming back into work following injury, for acute injury/swelling, and even for chronic injuries. The cold water helps to reduce swelling and provides additional benefits much like cryotherapy which is used by many many athletes both professional and amateur.

On the third day of Christmas we did a third hyperbaric chamber treatment. Did you know that for some mares that have had a difficult birth it only takes a few treatments to get them on the right track? Plus the foal can go in and get a treatment without contraindications

12/15/2024

On the second day of Christmas we used 2 bell boots to protect your horse’s shoeing whether done by your own farrier or one that already typically comes here we are happy with work with both to give your horse’s feet the best care.

It's world diabetes day which means it’s time for our monthy reminder to be aware of your horse's metabolic levels.

Gaited horses are typically particularly good swimmers. The way their body is put together makes for a more efficient swimmer. Hackneys are distinctly good at swimming laps, just check this one out to see for yourself!

We are immensely saddened to hear of the passing of Roses in May. He was an integral part of the early years of KESMARC. We were so honored that Ken and Sarah Ramsey entrusted us with his care. Roses in May came to us throughout his great career at the track starting when he was a 2 year old and ending with his return to KESMARC after his Dubi World Cup win selling to Japan under our roof. Shout out to Dale Romans for such a spectacular training job and always being so gracious. Roses in May will live in our hearts at KESMARC forever.

The cold spa can be a great way to help horses that have a tendency to get stocked up overnight. While we highly encourage consulting your vet to make sure theres not an undnerlying problem, there are many horses that just have that tendency and benefit greatly from the cold spa therapy!

Using both the aquatred and pool in combination was the best choice for this horse's case. Building strength was crucial for this horse as he healed from a hamstring tear. Slow and very gradual increase in exercise allowed him to build muscle back up. He's now training really well and has continued to be sound!

#nationalarabianhorseday Some research has indicated the Arabian horse has a genetic predisposition to metabolic syndrome (to be clear there are several breeds and body types that are affected). Not to worry, we have extensive experience with the latest treatments, not only when and how to test but an understanding in surveying the bloodwork to determine the best medication for that specific horse. We can help you navigate the necessary steps to diagnose and get the right plan in place to keep your horse happy and healthy. Movement and exercise is the key to the health of a metabolic horse, the pool or aquatred are both great ways to stay fit while we help make sure your horse is on the med doses best suited to their case. Remember, metabolic issues are no longer just in old and overweight horses, we have seen it in horses as young as 6 as well as horses that have come to us underweight.

3 ways to show how much you love them this Valentine's Day. 1. Cold Spa Therapy: a great way to help your horse maintain healthy and cool legs and feet. 2.

KLOUD+ Therapy: PEMF therapy helps stimulate blood flow, the most basic and essential component of the body healing

#NationalMakeAFriendDay We cater to any equine athlete large or small and personalities with just as big of a range.

A pony’s prediction! Who is your pick for Super Bowl LIX? Don't forget just like these pro athletes, your horse can make use of many of the same therapy tools that they use such as ice baths, laser and chiropractic therapy, and even hyperbaric oxygen therapy, all of which are available here at KESMARC

Your dressage horse is basically a professional ballerina right? Ballerinas take great care to make sure their bodies are strong and able to perform at their strongest. Your horse is no different. The aquatred helps your horse increase balance and strength while the cold spa helps maintain tight legs and more efficient muscle soothing post workout and competition. #nationalballetday

We are definitely in foaling season! This season always brings with it excitement, joy, and lots of stress. We all want each foal to be as healthy as can be and for the mare to make a full and easy recovery post birth. Hyperbarics can be a great way to help both mare and foal following birth. This therapy helps the body make it's own oxygen rich blood and helps stimulate healing as well as stem cell production all making for easier post birth recovery

This guy definitely deserves some carrot cake for being such a good boy in his first show back. We absolutely love hearing progress updates from our clients. #NationalCarrotCakeDay
