Thank you to Everyone who has helped share this! We have gotten a wonderful and talented collection of interested applicants and we will be reaching out to everyone soon!

We are currently looking for an additional member for our team. We need a little bit more help on the road these days. We are looking for an individual who is interested in acting as a veterinarian assistant on the road likely 2 to 3 days per week. There is a possibility this position will become full-time in the future. Ideally, our new assistant will have some flexibility in their hours, as occasionally veterinary work on the road becomes longer than anticipated. We also carry heavy equipment around occasionally, so the ability to carry up to 50 pounds and assist in managing the lovely thousand pound creatures we work with is an asset. Finally, we try to complete our medical records and billing well on the road so no significant issues with motion sickness is also a benefit. We are looking for someone who has a strong level of comfort working with and around horses.
If you are interested in working with us please send an email our way! To Dr. Fine or Dr. Rocheleau at [email protected]

🚨 ALERT🚨 Eastern Equine Encephalitis

As most of you have heard there have been several young horses lost in our area due to the Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus. A disease transmitted by mosquitoes and which has a greater than 90% fatality rate. It has been confirmed that those that the equine community have lost were unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated.

Luckily, the vaccines we have available are very protective provided they are used in the appropriate manner. This means that:

Foals receive a 3 dose series: first dose is given at 4-6 months of age, followed by a booster 4-6 weeks following the first dose and a 3rd dose at 13 months of age).

Adults (whose vaccines have lapsed or with unknown history) receive a 2 dose series: the second dose is given 4-6 weeks after the first. Then given annually after.

If you are unsure of your horses vaccination status please reach out and we can help you decide what the best course of action is for your particular horse and situation. We are recommending anything under the age of 2-3years old receive a booster as a precaution.

Also consider fly sheets and masks as well as fly spray to deter mosquitoes as much as possible.

For more information on the disease please visit AAEP.org or contact us.

As the temperatures and humidity climb please keep in mind how these factors can affect your horse. Especially during exercise.

Consider some of the following:
* Riding first thing in the morning or later evening
* Decrease the intensity of your ride. (There are SO many things you can work on at the walk!)
* Shorter ride times
* Lots of walk breaks
* Consider water and sponge bath breaks if needed
