Gelding your horse - What's the process? 🥜 💉🧼

As the weather starts to warm up, spring is often an ideal time to geld colts and stallions. The cooler conditions can make recovery more comfortable, and scheduling the procedure before the peak summer fly season may help reduce some of the challenges associated with wound management.

Gelding is a routine procedure, but it's helpful to understand what happens before, during and after surgery. Click the link below to read the full article, written by our vets, on our website.

Winter feeding tips for maintaining condition ❄️ 🐴

Across South Gippsland and Bass Coast, winter often means declining pasture quality, frosty mornings and horses drinking less water. It’s also the time of year when we commonly see an increase in impaction colic, weight loss and mobility issues.

Simple things like making sure your horses is getting enough forage, soaking feeds, checking body condition and keeping up with dental care can all make a difference over the colder months.

We’ve put together an article with some practical winter feeding tips from our Equine team: https://www.gippsvet.com.au/blog/winter-feeding-for-horses---essential-nutrition-tips

If you’ve got any questions about your horse’s diet or condition over winter, feel free to reach out to our equine team on (03) 5662 2251 ext 2.
