🔥 Wildfire Smoke & Horse Health 🐴💨

Poor air quality can be harmful not only to us but our horses too. Smoke from wildfires can irritate a horse's respiratory system and cause fatigue, coughing, difficulty breathing, etc.

You can monitor local air quality at www.airnow.gov. During periods of poor air quality, you can protect your horse's health by:

🐎 Limiting or avoiding exercise.
💧 Providing free access to fresh water.
💦 Controlling dust such as watering dry lots and soaking or feeding dust-free hay.
🕰 Allowing time for recovery: airway damage from wildfire smoke takes 4 to 6 weeks to heal after air quality returns to normal.
☎️ Consult your vet if you notice signs of smoke irritation.

Helpful reminders in these next few days. 🥵

🌡️ **Extreme Heat Is Here – Help Keep Your Animals Safe!** 🐾🐴

The heat isn't just uncomfortable—it can quickly become dangerous for our pets and horses. Take a few extra precautions to help them stay cool and healthy during these hot days.

🐶 **For Dogs & Cats:**
💧 Provide fresh, cool water at all times.
🌳 Keep them indoors or in the shade during the hottest part of the day.
🚶 Walk dogs early in the morning or later in the evening.
🐾 Test the pavement with your hand—if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for their paws.
🚗 Never leave pets in a parked vehicle, even for a minute.
❄️ Cooling mats, fans, frozen treats, and kiddie pools can help keep them comfortable.

🐴 **For Horses:**
💧 Ensure constant access to clean, fresh water.
🌳 Provide shade or bring horses into a well-ventilated barn during peak heat.
🧂 Offer free-choice salt and consider electrolytes for horses working or sweating heavily (consult your veterinarian for recommendations).
🚿 Hose horses down with cool water after exercise, and don't be afraid to leave water on them if they're overheated.
🌅 Ride or work horses during the cooler morning or evening hours whenever possible.

⚠️ **Know the signs of heat stress:**
Heavy panting, excessive drooling or sweating, weakness, lethargy, stumbling, elevated heart rate, bright red gums, vomiting, or collapse.

If you suspect your pet or horse is suffering from heat exhaustion or heat stroke, move them to a cool area, begin cooling them with cool (not ice-cold) water, and **contact your veterinarian immediately.**

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and give your four-legged family members a little extra care while these temperatures soar! ❤️

Gus is styling the good old abcess boot! 🤦🏼‍♀️

It seems to be that season for many… including our kitty Delilah on her tail.

This one worried even me, because it didn’t follow his typical abscess pattern of blowing when he shows up lame. He made us wait and worry while we knew one was coming because he was lame two days before it blew.

We messaged with our vet and progressed with standard care and he is doing much better.

Follow along for more on how we handle the dreaded abscess around our ranch! 🤠

And as Jeremy Hoekstra would remind us, do your groundwork! ✌🏻
