Here at Elevate Horsemanship we focus on knowledge and practice of horsemanship in all levels and walks of life. Raise your chin and elevate your confidence!
(2)
We start from the beginning and learn our responsibilities as horsemen, then together lets navigate your equine journey! In the Elevate family, the name has a lot of meaning. First, our focus starts with uplifting our HORSES and EACH OTHER! When you are educated and supported by a family of horsemen, your journey through horsemanship becomes POSSIBLE! My dream has always been to build a tight knit
group of horsemen who all have goals and vision for their horse's future. I have been BLESSED with the greatest family of horse enthusiasts. One thing I always strive to be is honest about what I see. I want those around me to know that I will always support them in their journey, and by supporting you I mean I will PUSH YOU! I love to watch horses and people grow, and I want to help YOU and YOUR HORSE achieve it all. As a barn we all are driven to learn more about our horses bodies and we focus of proper training, starting with diet, soundness, chiropractic and HORSE FITNESS. When your horse feels good, they will WANT to work with you. My main practice has been c**t starting and performance horses. I believe in a well trained horse that is versatile and usable. That being said I give instruction in basics of western and english, and the spectrum covers pleasure, horsemanship, equitation, dressage and ranch horse. I received a judges card for the ASHA as well. I have learned many training techniques including clicker training and even dove into R+ training, all to understand more theory and to have more tools in my box for every horse that comes down the road. Even if you are just looking to build your relationship with a horse you don't ride, you may find what you are looking for here. I offer lessons starting with basic horsemanship skills through restarting, problem solving and then moving into the show world. I am a 4H leader and am passionate about youth development. We attend large open shows a few times a year as well as smaller schooling shows. As the client base grows, we will be moving into breed shows and stock horse association. We offer clinics of many kinds at our facility at Horse Feather Stables in Newberg Oregon. If you started with lessons and want more, I also have lease options available for the family who isn't ready for the HUGE commitment that is buying a horse. Lease a few days a week to practice caring for a horse with the guidance of horse professionals overseeing the barn as well as a huge barn family. Walk through the barn doors, wash the stress of your hands, set down your troubles of daily life and get ready to ELEVATE!

A simple but informative description
Colic Surgery: What You Should Know
Brian S. Burks, DVM
Diplomate, ABVP
Board Certified Equine Specialist
Suddenly, you are faced with an enormous decision about your best horse. The choice is colic surgery or euthanasia. You only have a few minutes to decide, and the outcome is uncertain. Will he have a good quality of life? Will he return to his previous performance level?
You may not even know the veterinarian telling you about colic surgery. Should you proceed with surgery, a deposit of $5000.00 is required. The total cost may be $7000-$10,000, or more, if there are complications. What should you do? There is no time for me to tell a client everything they need to know. There are many things to think about prior to facing this difficult decision.
Equine Colic
Colic is a symptom- abdominal pain- not a diagnosis or disease. It is a sign of something wrong in the abdomen, or occasionally from other organs outside the abdomen. The equine intestinal tract is very complicated with stacked horse-shoe configurations and different sized lumens at various points. Colic signs include depression, loss of appetite, lying down, pawing, rolling, sweating, looking at the belly, stretching, and others.
Many times, colic is simple, and occurs due to a spasm or a gas pocket. This may require minimal treatment or even resolve on its own. Other times, aggressive medical therapy is required. Sometimes colic surgery is required to determine the cause and replace and/or repair the intestinal tract.
• Volvulus- a torsion or twist of the gut
• Small intestinal strangulation by a lipoma or other structure
• Colonic impaction- a build up a feed material, sand, or dirt in the colon
• Foreign body blocking the colon- an enterolith or another object
• Colonic displacement
Causes may vary with the breed and age of the horse. For instance, Ascarid impactions occur in weanlings and yearlings, whereas lipomas are most common. in older horses.
There are many other variations, and each comes with its own prognosis and estimated surgical cost. Large intestinal surgery usually has a better prognosis than small intestinal surgery and may cost less than a small intestinal strangulation requiring a portion of the bowel to be removed. It should be noted that colic surgery is a diagnostic test; until the surgeon explores the abdomen to find out what the trouble is, a definite diagnosis, prognosis, or cost estimate cannot be given.
The Veterinarian’s Advice
How does your veterinarian know your horse needs surgery?
• A diagnosis is made following the physical and re**al examination that requires surgery.
• Unrelenting pain, that cannot be controlled by medication
• Various diagnostic tests may add up, even when the horse does not appear that bad (especially if it has been given pain medication)
• Medical management has not corrected the problem
The field veterinarian must determine if the horse requires further evaluation at an equine surgical hospital. Part of that determination is you, the owner, about whether surgery is even an option. Sometimes, the only other option is euthanasia.
Diagnostic testing includes routine blood work, re**al palpation, abdominal ultrasound, abdominal tap, and occasionally radiographs (for smaller horses).
Your Decision
Here are some considerations when making this difficult decision:
• Diagnosis & Prognosis: What does the veterinarian think is wrong with your horse? How complicated will the surgery be and what is the likely prognosis? Recurrence?
• Anesthesia & Recovery: General anesthesia is required for colic surgery, and although the risk of this is small, it still exists.
• Cost: Can you afford surgery? Is your horse insured, and is there coverage for colic surgery? Colic surgery is expensive because it is performed in an equine hospital with professional staff, equipment, and experience to perform surgery and handle the intense after care required.
• Stress: Colic surgery is stressful for any horse owner.
• You may spend considerable time and resources treating on the farm, when early referral gives better prospects of a successful outcome.
COLIC SURGERY
When there is a colon torsion, the intestinal lining will only survive for 3-4 hours, so early and close referral is required. Such horses require immediate surgery and often do not survive a 3-4 hour trailer ride.
If you have decided to proceed with colic surgery, your horse is now being prepped for surgery. Then entire abdomen must be clipped, the feet cleaned, and the mouth rinsed to remove any residual feed material so that it does not end up in the lungs. There is a team gathered around him for this and intravenous catheter placement. Large bags of IV fluids are used, and medications are given prior to surgery. A nasogastric tube is left in place until after surgery. Soon, he will be taken into the surgery area.
Once anesthetized and gently lowered to the floor, he will be placed on a padded table, using hobbles and a hoist system. Your horse will be placed on his back and secured to the table. A ventilator will be used to deliver anesthetic gases and breathe for him, and other equipment will be used to monitor blood pressure and oxygen levels.
Once the surgical area (belly) is surgically prepped, a heavily gowned surgeon will place a full body drape prior to making a 10–12-inch incision on the mid-line of the abdomen. Then, a full abdominal exploration will take place to determine the problem; much of this is by feel as many structures cannot be pulled into plain view.
Colic surgery is a great physical undertaking. Heavy segments of bowel must be pulled out of the abdominal cavity and emptied and re-positioned. Once a diagnosis has been made, the surgeon may need to discuss the problem and prognosis. You should be prepared to euthanize your horse on the table, as some lesions are not reparable, or may exceed costs that you are able to incur.
Once a diagnosis has been made, repairs must then ensue. This may be as simple as placing the intestine back in its normal position, i.e., a partial torsion or twist, or some other displacement. Also, damage intestine may need to be removed, a blockage of sand or other foreign objects removed or fluid moved out of the small intestine into the cecum. Surgical time ranges from 1 ½ to 4 or more hours. Once the intestine has been repaired and replaced, the abdomen is painstakingly closed with heavy suture. Post recovery, which is assisted, he will be taken back to his stall where post op care will begin.
POST OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
Survival rates for many types of colic surgeries are high; however, things can go wrong at many points of the process. Very ill horses may have trouble surviving anesthesia, horses can be injured during recovery, and for horses with complicated conditions the first week after surgery is critical, requiring intensive medical care, including large volumes of intravenous fluids. The horse is monitored frequently, every 1-4 hours, day, and night, to adjust treatment and look for early signs of complications.
Hospital stays can vary from a few days to a few weeks, depending upon the initial surgical problem. Complications include abdominal or incisional infection, laminitis, colic recurrence, reflux, and many others. For many horses, the intensity of treatment gradually reduces prior to discharge at 5-7 days post-surgery.
HOME CARE
Once the horse is home, there is usually about 4 weeks of complete stall rest, followed by 4 weeks of stall rest and hand-walking. This is followed by 4 weeks of turn-out in a paddock. They must not be allowed to move faster than a walk until the incision has gained sufficient strength to bear the weight of the organs and movement. The diet may be modified, and other specific treatments may be given to you.
CONCLUSION
There is a general belief that colic surgery is often not successful. More than thirty years ago, that was true, but anesthetics have improved, along with surgical techniques. Many types of colic surgery today have a good prognosis; however, you should remember that despite the investment of a great deal of time and money, fatal complications can occur. Think about all of this before you ever get into this situation.

I love unboxing our @100xequine products! These products are the best and make my horses happy and comfortable. When we can share and get orders together, it helps all of us. If you're ever interested in joining, don't be shy, get on the next barn order!
- Astary Attraction 2009 AQHA Bay Gelding Perfect first horse. He is not a complete dead head but will babysit all day long. He loves kids, safe enough to send littles in to catch him in the stall or pasture. This guy has taught hundreds of kids. He is patient and kind. Rides however you want, just needs a nice long warm up. He is never leaving my hands if I can help it, but what he loves to do is teach beginners, so I want to give him a job taking care of someone and still be able to pay for his maintenance. Available in barn only for now, no show leases.
-For sale or lease: Pocos Red Hot Success 2014 Red Dun BS Paint, successfully shown in Ranch Classes, 4H fair, and open shows. OHC Ranch Show Open Level 2 Champion Extremely versatile, confident on trails, mountain trail or obstacle courses, shown by first year youth riders. Ridden English, Western, bareback, backwards, bitless.. Reining, cow horse, sorting, parades, beach rides, patterned ok basic gaming events... Husband and beginner safe, but enough umph to be competitive for the skilled rider. This guy is all that and a bag of chips, with a great personality to boot. First horse to the gate.
-Wile E Coyote 2009 sorrel mustang gelding Big time packer at home and at the shows. He has been ridden and shown in Ranch Classes, pleasure, hunt seat, dressage, reining, gaming, sorting, mountain trail... Big time push horse, lazy as heck but a firm rider can get some spunk with a good sense of humor. He's safe for all ages, but he can be headstrong on the ground, so I prefer smaller youth to have an adult help catch and tie him. Show team favorite.
I have openings in my fall schedule for lessons and training spots! Send me a message to get signed up! At Elevate Horsemanship we are developing a strong community of uplifting and encouraging people. Whether you're a beginner or had horses your whole life, my goal is to help you navigate the journey that is Horsemanship and achieve goals.

Done with teens, about to start adults!
Today we hit a milestone with our first Drill Team Performance. I am tremendously proud of this team for their hard work and dedication. We worked for 21 hours from the end of June to our end of summer potluck tonight. Everyone had a blast and we made a family together. If you’re interested in joining us this fall in our ”Off Season”, we will be doing working pairs and gaming/speed drills to tune our horses and prepare them for multiple drill patterns next spring and summer! All ages and experiences are welcome, we just ask that you are dedicated to learning and committed to the team.
🏇EH Drill Team!🏇 We are inviting friends and family of Elevate Horsemanship to come and join us at the barn for a potluck and performance of the EH first ever drill team. We have been working over the summer to learn about working as a team and riding precision maneuvers. Our performance will be about 10 minutes long (since it's our first year, we have focused on one routine). If you are bringing a dish, please arrive before 6:00 to set up the food tables. Once everyone has gotten their food and find a spot around the outdoor arena, we will begin the performance. We will have a donation box available if you would like to leave a donation to our club to contribute towards flags, outfits and other equipment we would like to add to our equipment. This is also a great opportunity for those who have interest in joining our in barn drill team to come and check out what we are doing. We are going into our "off season" where we will be practicing and conditioning our horses for more team routines next spring and summer. Pm for address!
Trying a new thing today at @rideonranch with my friends, students and kiddos! #cowpony #elevateyouth #CowSorting
I have a couple openings for training, but only one stall opening. After this, all training will have to be on wait lists for openings in the stalls! Take advantage of a rare opportunity to slide in!
I have a student showing Wiley this weekend in English only . If there is another student looking to do a practice open show in Western, Wiley is available in the afternoon this Sunday at the crazy ribbon show. Let me know if you are interested in taking this guy for a spin! #elevatehorsemanship #WylECoyote
