PLEASE GIVE EXTRA HAY THIS WEEKEND - IT IS GOING TO BE VERY COLD!!
REMEMBER: As this frigid weather settles in, it’s important to keep your horse WARM. Horses are kept warm not only by their winter coat and body fat, but also by their built-in, internal heating system: their digestive tract! Digestion creates microbial fermentation which produces heat and warms your horse. Fiber is digested slowly. This allows the horse’s body to sustain its internal heat for a longer period of time. Hay has a higher fiber content than grain, which means it is digested more slowly than grain…. Therefore, increased hay will help warm your horse more efficiently in winter than increasing his/her grain.

Canine emergency at Upstate Equine Medical Center.... this canine arrived with his hard plastic toy egg caught on his canine tooth! We were unable to collapse the toy, so it needed to be cut away, piece by piece. Fortunately, he was a good citizen (as well as a handsome one) and tolerated the process well.
