Feeding a senior horse (15+) may seem complicated, but it actually doesn’t have to be. Most senior horses do just fine on normal diets - but some do need to have their nutrition adjusted based on individual health and body condition.

Are you noticing that your senior horse is underweight or showing some signs of malnutrition even though you don’t think his or her diet is lacking?

Give our office a call and schedule an appointment to see how we can best help your senior horse whether it be diet or any other additional support. Schedule an appointment here: 480-621-9293 📞

🔸 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰?

Excessive weight can cause many health issues for your horse, including but not limited to: increased risk for joint issues and degenerative bone diseases (including arthritis).

Is your horse carrying some extra pounds? Give our clinic a call, so we can come out and assess them for the best path forward regarding exercise and nutrition to make sure they get on the right track!

🔸 𝐅𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞!

Here are some important things to stay on top of from our friends at to ensure that your foal grows into a sound and healthy horse.

🐴 Work with your veterinarian to make sure you stay on top of regular deworming, vaccinations, and other exams to make sure your foal is getting the care they need as they grow

🐴 Make sure they get a balanced diet - Once the foal’s diet shifts from milk to solid foods, a balanced dietary approach supporting no more than a moderate growth rate is less likely to cause developmental problems. It’s also essential the ration be properly balanced for vitamins and minerals.

🐴 Daily exercise - The less time foals are confined to stalls, the better! Avoid confining foals for more than 10 hours per day. Beware of excessive forced exercise, as it can strain joints and limbs, and never exercise a foal to the point of fatigue.

🐴 Trim their hooves regularly - Keep your youngster’s feet properly trimmed to foster proper bone development.

🔸Vets need “me time” too!

Team Phoenix Equine decided to embark on a floating sound bath to recenter after some long work days to rejuvenate our passion for the horse.

Have you ever tried a floating sound bath? What an experience!

🔸𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐂𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆'𝐒 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 (𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐃)🔸

Out of all of the metabolic disorders that plague our equine companions, PPID is the most common. It is most prevalent in senior horses, but occasionally does occur in younger horses as well. This metabolic disorder arises as a result of disruption of the pituitary and hypothalamus glands, causing an overproduction of hormones in the pituitary gland.

Common symptoms of PPID are:
🔸 Curly or long hair that doesn’t shed out
🔸 Increased water intake
🔸 Excess sweating
🔸 Chronic infections/laminitis
🔸 Muscle loss
🔸 Lethargy

If your horse is experiencing any of these symptoms, call our clinic to schedule an appointment at 480-621-9293 so we can test for this disorder and get your horse on a treatment plan ASAP.

🔸 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘: 𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 🔸

Remember the leg wound we posted last week? Look at how beautifully this laceration healed! The timeline to healing wasn’t short but with great care and treatment this wound is likely going to heal with little no scarring. At this point in the healing process our patient even started returning to work.

Treatment at this stage included application of silver sulfadiazine (SSD) ointment and alternating leaving the standing wraps off during the day and on in the evening to allow the wound to get more airflow for continued healing. This is our last follow up with this wound, but we are all excited to see how well it has healed over time.

Although most wounds and lacerations are not this severe in nature, know that all the doctors and technicians at Phoenix Equine are dedicated to helping your horse recover!

🔸 With a plethora of big horse shows upcoming, it’s never a bad idea to schedule a routine performance exam for your equine partner. These evaluations help us assess your horse’s health and keep them performing at their personal highest level.

By assessing your horse’s current condition, we can both identify issues and treat those issues before they become problems. Early treatments always have a better chance of success for your equine athlete and will assure their continued soundness both in and out of the show ring.
