🐴 Have you met Dr. Barker yet?

Dr. Barker joined the Keswick team back in March, bringing 7 years of equine veterinary experience and a special passion for Sports Medicine.

She has a particular interest in diagnosing and treating back and neck pain, helping horses feel their best and perform comfortably. But her expertise doesn’t stop there—Dr. Barker is happy to see horses for all aspects of equine medicine, from routine care to more complex concerns.

If you haven’t had the chance to meet her yet, you’re missing out! We’re so glad to have her as part of the Keswick team and can’t wait for all of our clients and patients to get to know her. 🐴🩺

October pasture looks beautiful but there's something important happening underneath that pretty picture. 🍂🐴

As fall sets in, cool-season grasses can actually spike in nonstructural carbohydrates, especially on cold nights followed by sunny days. For most horses this is not a problem. But for horses that are insulin-resistant, prone to laminitis, or easy keepers, October pasture can be one of the riskiest times of year.

The visual cues that usually signal danger in spring, lush green growth, rapid flush, don't apply the same way in fall. The grass can look sparse and dried out while still carrying elevated sugar levels.

If you manage a horse with metabolic concerns, October is worth paying close attention to. 👀

October on a horse farm is its own kind of thing.🐴

The leaves turn. The air gets that bite to it. The horses grow their coats out and start moving differently, slower in the mornings, more settled in the evenings.

There is something about this season that reminds you the farm has its own rhythm and you're just lucky enough to be part of it.

What does your favorite October farm morning look like? 🍂

🍂 Fall is the perfect time to check your horse’s teeth! 🐴

As colder weather approaches, horses begin relying more heavily on hay to maintain their weight and produce the energy they need to stay warm. Good dental health plays a huge role in how efficiently they can chew and utilize that forage.

Sharp points, uneven wear, or other dental problems can make chewing hay uncomfortable and may prevent your horse from getting the nutrition they need—even when plenty of quality hay is available.

Scheduling an equine dental exam this fall can help make sure your horse heads into winter comfortable, eating well, and ready for the colder months ahead.

🍁 Fall checklist:
• Dental exam
• Body condition check
• Winter feeding plan
• Plenty of quality forage

A little preparation now can make a big difference when the temperatures drop. 🐴❄️

Summer is gone, but parasite risks aren’t. Fleas, ticks, and other parasites can stay active well past the first cool snap. Here’s what to watch for this fall season:

Did you know? Young horses going into their first winter have significantly higher energy needs per pound of body weight than mature horses do.🐴

Growing horses are doing two things at once: maintaining body temperature in cooling weather and continuing to develop bone, muscle, and connective tissue. Both of those things require fuel, and the nutritional gap between what pasture and hay provide and what a growing horse actually needs can widen quickly once temperatures drop.

Weanlings and yearlings that look fine in October can lose ground fast in November and December if their feed program isn't keeping up with demand. 🌾
