Horse education...did you know?

As the temperatures rise and the sun stays out longer, make sure your equine friends are adequately protected from harmful UV rays. ☀️

Hot summer weather puts horses at risk not only for dehydration and heat stress but also the skin damage and discomfort that accompany a sunburn— just like humans.

A lot of equestrians love some chrome on a horse, but it's important to remember that those beautiful white markings and the non-pigmented pink skin underneath are more likely to suffer from sunburn, especially in areas where the skin is more sensitive — like around the eyes and the nostrils.

In addition to the pain and discomfort, horses that are prone to recurrent sunburn may also face other long-term consequences, like the increased likelihood of developing squamous cell carcinoma (a common cancer).

If your horse is susceptible to sunburn, contact your veterinarian for more information about sun damage and recommendations to keep your equine protected this summer.

The view never gets old. From sunrise feedings to evening pasture checks, there's something special about life with animals in Northern California.

We're grateful for the ranchers, farmers, horse owners, and livestock caretakers who work hard every day to care for the animals that help make our communities strong.

❤️ Neither does caring for the animals we love.

If your horse, cattle, sheep, goats, or other livestock need care, our team is here to help.

🐴 Vet Tip Tuesday 🐴

Summer heat can affect horses faster than many owners realize.

A few simple steps can help keep your horse healthy and comfortable during Northern California's warmer months:

💧 Provide clean, fresh water at all times
🌳 Make sure shade is available
🐴 Watch for signs of heat stress, including heavy breathing, lethargy, or decreased appetite
☀️ Schedule strenuous work during cooler parts of the day

Preventive care and early attention can help keep your horse healthy, comfortable, and performing at their best.
