🐴 Trail-riding season is finally here! ☀️

There’s nothing better than fresh air, open tracks, and making memories in the saddle with your horse. Whether you’re heading out for a quiet woodland hack or an all-day adventure, comfort and protection are key for both horse and rider. So don't forget the essentials like SPF, fly spray, breathable horse wear...and don't forget snacks! Enjoy!

Where’s your favourite place to ride this season? 👇🍃

**VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED**

Dr. Peal doing what she does best!

We love having a board-certified surgeon here at Premier Equine for moments like these. We were extremely thankful to help this guy get the relief he needed with an eye enucleation.

While it can sound intimidating, horses typically adapt incredibly well after an eye enucleation and often go on to live happy, comfortable, and active lives. Once the source of pain is removed, many horses are noticeably brighter and more comfortable almost immediately.

“Dunny” has done exactly that...he’s doing great now and is settling back into life like a champ. We’re so happy to see him feeling better and thriving again.

✅ Answer: C - Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve

“Roaring” is caused by a condition where nerve damage causes paralysis in one side of the horse's larynx (voice box). As the horse breathes during exercise, the affected side cannot fully open, and this partial airway collapse causes a distinct whistling or roaring sound and limits oxygen intake during exercise. This condition is medically known as laryngeal hemiplegia or recurrent laryngeal neuropathy.

🐎 Common signs may include:
Exercise intolerance
Loud breathing during work
Reduced performance
Abnormal respiratory noise during exercise

This condition is seen more commonly in larger breeds such as Thoroughbreds, Draft horses, and Warmbloods.

If your horse develops abnormal respiratory noise or decreased performance, a veterinary exam can help determine the cause and discuss treatment options.
