⚠️Rabies Awareness Reminder! ⚠️
A skunk in our area has recently tested positive for rabies. This is an important reminder to make sure your animals are up to date on their rabies vaccinations!
Rabies is a serious and fatal disease that can affect both animals and humans. Keeping your animals vaccinated is one of the best ways to protect them.
If you’re unsure of your horse’s vaccination status or need to schedule an appointment, please contact our office!

☀️ Hot Summer Topics: Trailering Safely in the Heat 🐴🚛

We’re wrapping up our Hot Summer Topics series with an important reminder about keeping horses safe and comfortable while traveling during hot weather!

Horse trailers can heat up quickly, making proper ventilation, hydration, and travel timing especially important. When possible, plan trips during cooler parts of the day, check the heat index before heading out, and keep an eye out for signs of heat stress along the way.

A little preparation can go a long way toward keeping your horse cool, calm, and safe from loading to arrival. 🐴💧

Stay cool and travel safely as we finish out the summer! ☀️

☀️ Hot Summer Topics – Week 4! 🐴

This week, we’re talking summer parasite management! 🪱🌱 Keeping parasites under control isn’t just about routine deworming, it’s about making smart, targeted decisions for each horse.

F***l egg counts, pasture management, manure removal, and fly control can all play an important role in keeping your horse healthy while helping reduce parasite resistance.

💩 Not sure when your horse’s last f***l egg count was? Give us a call! Our team can help develop a parasite management and deworming plan tailored to your horse.

Healthy horses, happy pastures! 🌿🐎
