This past weekend, Dr. Molson and Dr. Markey headed back to the Ontario Veterinary College to celebrate their 10-year reunion! 🐴💚
It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since they graduated and began their journeys as veterinarians. We’re so proud of everything they’ve accomplished and grateful to have them as part of the Full Circle team!

When the air gets crisp and you see frost on the grass, your pasture is changing more than you might think.

Here’s why that matters:

During the day, grass uses sunlight to produce sugars through photosynthesis. Normally, those sugars are burned for growth or stored in the roots overnight. But when it’s too cold, typically below about 5°C, grass growth slows or stops completely. That means those sugars stay concentrated in the leaves instead of being used up.
The result is that on bright, sunny days followed by chilly nights, the blades of grass can contain unusually high sugar levels.
Cool-season grasses, such as timothy, brome, orchardgrass, and fescue, are especially prone to this. These species thrive in cooler weather and naturally accumulate more sugars to help them survive cold stress. When temperatures fall, they can’t use those sugars efficiently, which causes even higher concentrations in the leaf blades.
For horses with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, or a history of laminitis, that sugar spike can pose real risks, turning an ordinary pasture into a sugary treat their system can’t handle.
How to keep your horse safe in cold weather:
- Avoid turnout on frosty mornings when sugar content peaks.
- Turn out later in the day, ideally mid to late afternoon, once the grass has used up more sugar.
- Use a grazing muzzle or limit turnout time if needed.
- Feed tested, low NSC hay when the weather stays cold.
- Keep an eye on insulin levels and body condition. Early monitoring can help prevent flare ups. Ask us about our simple insulin testing options.

Cold weather doesn’t have to mean no pasture time. It just means smarter management. Understanding how grass responds to temperature shifts, especially in cool-season pastures, can help keep your metabolic horse healthy and comfortable all winter long.

Older horses don’t need fancy care, just thoughtful, consistent attention.
Daily check-ins, gentle exercise, balanced meals, and regular grooming help them stay comfortable and happy.
Don’t skip those vet and dental visits, catching little changes early keeps our seniors feeling their best. 🐴💚

✨Three Vets, One Goal: Your Horse’s Health✨
At Full Circle, you're not just getting one vet's opinion, you’re getting a team. 🐴💡
Behind every appointment is a collaborative effort. Dr. Molson, Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Markey work closely together, discussing cases, reviewing diagnostics, and leaning on each other’s specialties to ensure your horse gets the most well-rounded care possible.

Whether it's a tricky lameness case, a puzzling metabolic concern, or figuring out the best long-term management for your partner, we put three minds to work for one horse.

You might only see one vet at the appointment, but know that there's a team behind the scenes, thinking, reviewing, and supporting every decision made.
Because your horse deserves nothing less. 💚

New research is changing the way we think about weaning.
Studies show that delaying weaning and using gradual, group-based approaches can dramatically reduce stress, support healthy growth, and even improve learning and social behaviour later in life.
We’ve summarized the latest evidence-based strategies in a quick reference guide for horse owners and breeders.
