We know all of our patients at Windmiller Equine are superstars, but this charming sorrel gelding had to take it to the next level! It's okay if you don't recognize Hank's human movie co-star Eric Roberts (actor and brother to Julia Roberts); we can't stop admiring Handsome Hank in these on set pictures either! 🤩

Do you know how much Dr. McPherson loves to ultrasound? Almost as much as she loves Adequan—which as you know is a LOT! 🤣
Here we are locating our landmarks for SI (sacroiliac) joint injections that are best performed with ultrasound guidance. Special shout-out to Dr. Sushmitha Durgam from OSU for all her sage wisdom and excellent photography!

The time to start preparing your horse for firework festivities is NOW! Check out our list of tips and tricks to help with firework fearful animals.

1. Stall horses in the evening and overnight if they are used to being stalled. Close barn doors and stall windows if possible but make sure ventilation and airflow is still good.

2. Play classical or country music at a moderate volume in the barn to drown out firework noise. Boehringer Ingelheim has developed a relaxing soundtrack to relieve anxiety that can be downloaded at https://bi-animalhealth.com/equine/relax-trax

3. Use POMMS or other equine ear plugs to dampen pops and booms.

4. Begin loading calming supplements NOW. Beware that some calming agents are not show-safe so know your upcoming show schedule and rules.

5. Consider sedatives such as acepromazine and trazadone for especially fearful animals. Please note: these must be given WELL BEFORE fireworks begin to benefit scared horses. Call us for further information.

Happy Fourth everyone! Celebrate smart and safe!

Anyone else out there sweltering with us? 🥵

Check out this great chart by the Maryland Horse Council to use as a guide for adapting your riding schedule when the heat and humidity feels like a swamp. Your horse's body temperature elevates very quickly so avoid riding during the extreme heat of the day, and making sure to use fans and cool showers to help them beat the heat!

If you have any fussy drinkers, make sure to top dress their feed with electrolytes! If you hang buckets of water with electrolytes mixed in, make sure to always have a clean source of plain water available as well!

Stay cool and safe this summer! ☀️😎

While we all love the sight of horses grazing on lush, green pasture in the spring afternoon sun, it's not always the picture perfect scenario for some of our equine friends. Horses that have Equine Metabolic Syndrome, PPID, or are overweight, or are breeds prone to insulin dysfunction may still be able to enjoy grazing if we are smart about when they do so. Timing turnout can be a positive game changer for "easy-keepers" and keep them happy AND healthy.

Grass sugar content can vary widely depending on season, stress, and other factors, so the above Grazing Clock should be taken as a guideline when managing insulin dysfunctional horses. Further questions? Dr. McPherson loves to chat about grass!
