From the tiniest miniature foals to the most towering draft horses (or
Mammoth donkeys 🫏 ), our days are filled with patients of every single shape and size. And honestly? We love them all exactly the same! 🐴❤️
No matter if your partner is a 200-pound mini or an 1,800-pound Clydesdale, the fundamentals of keeping them healthy, happy, and thriving remain the same.
Here are three universal health rules we recommend for every horse in the barn, big or small:
🦷 Dental Care Matters: Horses’ teeth grow continuously. Sharp points can cause pain, weight loss, and training issues. Annual dental floats keep them chewing comfortably, whether they are eating a handful of grain or a massive flake of hay.
🪱 Targeted Deworming: The days of blindly rotating dewormers every two months are gone! We always recommend a quick f***l egg count test first. This tells us exactly which parasites your specific horse has so we can treat them effectively and prevent drug resistance.
⚖️ Weight & Nutrition Management: Overweight minis are highly prone to metabolic issues like laminitis, while hard-working larger breeds might struggle to keep condition on. Work with us to tailor a diet based on their specific body condition score, not just their breed standard.
Every horse deserves a wellness plan tailored just for them. What size is the horse holding your heart right now? Drop a photo of your big or small best friend in the comments below! 👇
