: A baseline cardiovascular workup can be lifesaving for a mature athlete, especially an event horse, for whom the risk of sudden death on cross country significantly increases after 15 years of age. Routine blood tests can identify a decline in kidney or liver function, the organ systems more commonly affected in old age. Long-term use of non-steroidal medications can also affect these body systems, and since many older athletes receive anti-inflammatory medications to support soundness and comfort, monitoring for changes once or twice a year becomes especially important! 📝

Season’s Greetings from High Performance Equine 🐴 Wishing you all a joyful holiday! ✨

Performance horses put their bodies through intense physical demands, and over time, joints can become stressed or inflamed. Joint injections, when carefully administered by a veterinarian, are a common and effective treatment to help manage discomfort, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility.⁣
⁣
Joint therapy helps restore normal homeostasis and thwarts the onset of joint disease. By using injections to reduce inflammation in the joint, we aim to stop—or at least slow down—the development of joint disease. If joint disease is already present, joint therapy works to reduce further progression.⁣
⁣
At High Performance Equine, we tailor joint injection protocols to the specific needs of each horse, ensuring optimal performance and long-term joint health. Our goal is to keep your equine athletes feeling and performing their best! 💪🐴⁣

By staying proactive about your horse's weight, you can help prevent issues like obesity or malnutrition, ensuring they stay healthy and happy all year round!

Observation is one of the most critical skills in this line of work 🔎 By carefully observing a horse’s behavior, posture, and subtle physical changes, we can detect early signs of discomfort or illness that might otherwise go unnoticed. Regular, attentive observation helps veterinarians understand each horse’s unique normal, making it easier to spot abnormalities and provide timely, effective interventions.

High Performance Equine: Dedicated to Your Horse’s Health 🐴💙

🍂 : Preparing for Seasonal Changes 🍁⁣
⁣⁣
▶️Check Pasture Conditions: As grass growth slows, monitor your pasture for overgrazing and consider supplementing with hay to maintain proper nutrition.⁣
⁣
▶️Adjust Feeding Plans: With cooler weather, horses may need additional calories to maintain body weight. Work with your veterinarian to evaluate and adjust their diet accordingly.⁣
⁣
▶️Monitor Coat Changes: Fall is the time for your horse's coat to thicken. Regular grooming will help keep their coat healthy and support natural shedding.⁣
⁣
▶️Vaccination Updates: Ensure your horse is up-to-date on fall vaccinations, especially against equine influenza and rhinopneumonitis. As cooler weather means more time in stables with closed doors and less ventilation, the recirculating air and co-mingling of horses increase the risk of respiratory diseases.

For horses traveling to warmer climates for the winter competition season, fall vaccinations should include an EWT/WN booster due to continued exposure to mosquitoes that transmit these viruses.

Last week, I had the honor of presenting on behalf of ConturaVet. By reviewing selected cases of equine synovitis on the webinar, I established my criteria for selecting a 2.5% polyacrylamide gel as an effective treatment modality in patients.

ConturaVet is a globally recognized leader in veterinary medicine, offering innovative treatments that enhance joint health in both horses and dogs, addressing the challenges of synovitis and osteoarthritis at various stages.

I am grateful to the entire ConturaVet team for the opportunity to contribute insights and discuss the latest advancements in equine joint health! 🙌

🔙 This winter I was able to scrub in on a Tenex Procedure at Palm Beach Equine led by Dr. Weston Davis in collaboration with Dr. David Levine from New Bolton. This procedure addresses chronic tendon and ligament injuries in horses, and utilizes a Tenex Health TX System, which employs ultrasonic energy to break down and remove damaged tissue while preserving the healthy surrounding tissue. ⁣
⁣
This procedure is beneficial for horses with chronic tendinopathy or ligament injuries that have not responded to other treatment such as rest, physical therapy, or anti-inflammatory medications.

Shockwave and laser therapy have similar applications and exert similar properties on their target tissues to ultimately decrease inflammation and pain and facilitate the healing process. They are separate and yet compatible and complementary therapies. In many cases, both are recommended for optimal healing of a sports injury ✅
