✨🐴 FUN FACT FRIDAY 🐴✨

Horses can sleep standing up! 💤

Horses can sleep standing up due to a unique anatomical arrangement of tendons and ligaments called the stay apparatus. This allows them to “lock” the major joints of their fore and hind limbs with minimal muscular effort. It’s a survival tactic that allows them to rest while still being ready to bolt from a predator lightning quick! ⚡️🐎

But standing sleep isn’t enough! Horses still need to lie down to reach REM sleep. Ideally, they need opportunities for at least 20–30 minutes of lying-down sleep each day to get that important REM rest.

A few ways we can help encourage better rest:
🌙 Turn off unnecessary barn lights at night
🤫 Keep nighttime activity and noise to a minimum
🛏️ Provide a clean, dry, comfortable place to lie down
🐴 Make sure they feel safe and secure in their environment
👀 Pay attention if a horse rarely—or never—lies down

So yes, your horse might be snoozing on their feet… but they still need to get horizontal for the good stuff. 😴

Good sleep is part of good horse health. 🤍

A friendly reminder about rabies vaccines! It is not unusual for Idaho to have animals test positive for rabies in our region. Rabies is not only 100% fatal but also zoonotic meaning a human can contract rabies from an infected animal!

If your horse hasn’t had a rabies vaccine in the last year - give us a call! 208-462-0999

𝗥𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 - This year alone, we’ve heard reports of rabies in 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘀, including in our own region, as well as cases involving 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘇𝗼𝗼, 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲, and even 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀.

Not all of these cases were local, but they’re an important reminder that rabies is very much still a risk.

Please make sure your animals are 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Dogs and cats aren’t the only animals that can be exposed. Horses and other livestock can be at risk, too.

Rabies is nearly always fatal once symptoms appear, but vaccination is one of the best ways to protect both animals and the people who care for them.
