If your horse has seemed lethargic, off its feed, or unusually warm this week, you’re not alone.

The shorter days coupled with the quick taste of autumn last week triggered winter coat growth—and the sudden return of thick humidity has left many horses struggling to thermoregulate, even without being ridden.

Seniors, horses with Cushing's (PPID), and non-sweaters (anhidrotic horses) are particularly vulnerable to these sudden environmental swings.

Ways to help your herd stay cool:

Consider Body Clipping: You don't need to wait until winter. Clipping off all or part of that early plush coat—even on non-working horses or seniors—is one of the fastest ways to help their bodies drop heat and stay comfortable until consistently cooler weather arrives.

Maximize Airflow: Ensure your horse has access to shade or a fan.

Midday Cold Hosing: A quick hose-down on the neck, chest, and inner thighs helps lower core body temperatures rapidly.

Fresh, Cool Water: Check water troughs frequently.

Feel free to call us with any questions or concerns! Let's all keep hoping for cooler temps!

It's Medication Monday!

When a horse is diagnosed with Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID/Cushing’s), Prascend (pergolide mesylate) is the gold-standard treatment to help manage hormone levels and support long-term health. However, starting or increasing the dose of this medication can sometimes trigger a temporary phase known as the “Prascend Veil.”

During this transition, horses may experience brief side effects such as reduced appetite, lethargy, or dullness. The good news? This dullness is usually short-lived! Here is what every horse owner should know about recognizing the signs, managing the adjustment period, and helping your horse feel like themselves again.

Medication Monday: NSAID Edition!

Not all pain relievers are created equal! Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are a staple in every horse owner's medicine cabinet, but knowing which one to use (and when) makes all the difference for your horse’s health.

Got questions about your horse’s medication plan? Give our team a call!

Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) can affect horses of all breeds, disciplines, and lifestyles—and they often present with vague or easily missed symptoms, such as:

🔹 Changes in attitude under saddle or girthiness
🔹 Unexplained weight loss or poor coat quality
🔹 Recurrent mild colic or changes in appetite
🔹 Resistance or lack of performance

There are 2 types of EGUS, Equine Squamous Gastric Disease and Equine Glandular Gastric Disease and they occur in different parts of the stomach and require different approaches to treatment. The only definitive way to diagnose gastric ulcers is through direct visualization.

With our new gastric scope, we can look directly inside your horse's stomach in real time and tailor a targeted, effective treatment plan.

Interested in scheduling a gastroscopy evaluation or learning if your horse is a candidate? Give us a call: 813-489-9368.

Less noise. More comfort!

Shockwave therapy is a valuable tool in equine sports medicine, helping support the management of a variety of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.

Our shockwave unit is significantly quieter than older-generation machines, making treatments a more comfortable experience for horses who may be sensitive to unfamiliar sounds.

Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or working toward peak performance, our veterinary team can determine whether shockwave therapy may be an appropriate part of their treatment plan.
