The heat is ON!! ☀️
Or at least it will be later this week! Here are some pro-tips for keeping horses hydrated:

✅ make sure clean, fresh water is available at all times

✅ if you offer water with electrolytes make sure you also have plain water available as well

✅ if you have automatic waterers in fields check them frequently throughout the day to ensure they are working and that they have not been contaminated by wildlife (aka vultures 🤢)

✅ avoid exercise in peak heat

✅ monitor temp and respiration especially in older horses

Here are some of our favorite products that we use to help patients during hot weather: Summer Games electrolyte paste, Purina Replenimash, and AppleX electrolyte powder.

Unfortunately for these guys they missed the boat! Hopefully one of their brethren who did make the SS Uterus before it left the dock will contribute their DNA to a foal next year.

It’s a long journey for breeders from insemination to live foal. We are currently seeing step 1. Step 2 is a LONG wait for that 14 day check to see if one of these swimmers made it to the ultimate prize. If the mare is in foal, it will be approximately 342 days from now before we see what step 1 has produced.

So everyone cross your fingers and toes and stay tuned for what day 14 finds! Will we find the beginning of a baby or will it be back to step 1?

In this week’s Winning Wednesday, our sports med specialist, Dr Crowley, talks about the incorporation Sleip into lameness evaluations. Check the comments for examples of the reports that are generated!

Your horse may not be able to tell you when something feels “off” — but changes in movement, performance, attitude, or behavior can be early signs of discomfort or lameness. That’s why regular soundness evaluations are such an important part of keeping your horse performing at their best.

At Stillmeadow Equine, we’re excited to introduce Sleip Gait Analysis technology to help take the guesswork out of movement evaluation. This innovative system uses advanced motion analysis to objectively assess your horse’s gait, helping identify subtle asymmetries and monitor changes over time.

Whether you compete, trail ride, or simply want your horse feeling comfortable and moving well, early detection and accurate evaluation are key to long-term soundness and performance.

For this week’s “Winning Wednesday” we are going to cover what you need to even get the chance of that elusive Devon ribbon!

We’ve had some contradicting calls coming in asking about requirements for Devon. I contacted Equitrace directly for the current requirements and they double checked with show management for us.

**Please Note: the website says health certs are only required for out of state horses. However, per Equitrace they are requiring ALL horses have a health cert within 30 days. Please reach out to the office asap if you need a CVI, we don’t want anyone to miss their moment in the Dixon Oval! 🏆

Instead of “Toothy Tuesday”, this week we present: “Trucky Tuesday”!

I’ve made my way to central New York State for the install of Dr, Crowley’s new vet box. An exciting reminder that in less than 2 short months we will be joined by Dr Evans!

A big thanks to everyone at Stonewell Bodies for working hard and getting our new truck ready to hit the road!

Has everyone else had a WILD week or is it just us??? We definitely are a little late in our reveal of our exciting news, but hey, let’s call this “Finally Friday”!

If you guessed that we are adding a NEW DOCTOR to the practice…you are CORRECT ☺️ We will have our drawing next week from those who guessed correctly.

So without further ado, please welcome:
Dr Katielynn Evans who will be starting with us July 7th!

Dr. Katie Evans grew up in Upstate New York where she developed her love for horses riding in the hunter jumper discipline and participating in her local 4H. While attending Cornell University majoring in Animal Science Katie rode on the intercollegiate dressage team. She graduated from The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 2025 and completed her internship in equine practice at Allegheny Equine Associates outside of Pittsburgh. Her professional interests include sports medicine, preventative medicine and emergency care. In her free time, Katie enjoys spending time with her horse, Simon, reading, and traveling. She looks forward to moving back to Chester County and joining the Stillmeadow Equine team!
