Angel Ridge Veterinary Service is a small animal and equine practice in Crescent Oklahoma. Hi, I am the owner and veterinarian, Darcy Smith D.V.M.

I obtained my bachelors degree in Agricultural Economics Farm and Ranch Management from Oklahoma State University in 1998 and graduated from Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2002. After graduation I worked in a mixed animal practice in Lindsay, Oklahoma for 7 years. When our family moved to Crescent in 2009 I joined a small animal and equine practice in Edmond. In June of 2012 we decided to open our own veterinary practice as Angel Ridge Veterinary Service in Crescent. In our free time our family enjoys camping, mountain biking and horseback ridding.

Blanketing season is back and so is the question every horse owner debates every October: to blanket or not to blanket? 🐴

Here's what the research actually says. Horses that are blanketed regularly may not develop as thick a natural winter coat because the added warmth signals the body that insulation is less necessary. That means a blanketed horse becomes more dependent on the blanket as winter progresses, not less.

This isn't an argument against blanketing. Clipped horses, senior horses, underweight horses, and horses in wet climates often genuinely need it. But it is an argument for being consistent once you start.

The bigger nutritional connection: horses that are cold burn significantly more calories just to maintain body temperature. Whether you blanket or not, make sure your feed program accounts for the increased energy demand that comes with colder weather. 🙌

This is what fall is really about. 🍂🤍

A gentle giant, a growing family, and a golden October afternoon that nobody wanted to end. Dogs have this incredible way of making every season feel a little more special just by being in it. 🐾

Is your horse due for a dental check? A yearly exam by a veterinarian can prevent small issues from becoming big setbacks.

Watch for these signs indicating your horse’s mouth might need attention:
🦷 Fussing with the bit
🦷 Resistance to giving to the bit
🦷 Acting uncomfortable during work
🦷 Head tilting or chewing strangely
🦷 Foul-smelling breath
🦷 Dropping partially chewed hay or grass

October checklist for horse owners heading into cold weather. 👇

✅ Body condition score every horse now, while there's still time to adjust before winter
✅ Check your hay supply and quality, not just quantity. Hay cut late in the season can be lower in digestible energy than you'd expect
✅ Senior horses and hard keepers need extra attention right now. They lose condition faster in cold and regain it slower

The transition from fall to winter is one of the most important nutrition windows of the year. 🐴

Treat time is also bonding time. 🐱🧡

Did you know that hand feeding your pet occasionally can actually strengthen your bond and build trust, especially with cats who are more reserved?

It also gives you a chance to notice changes in appetite, which can be an early indicator that something is off health wise. 🐾

Fall is officially in the air and your flock can feel it. 🐓🍂

Shorter days and cooler temps change what your chickens need from their feed, and October is the month a lot of backyard keepers start noticing the difference in egg production without knowing exactly why.

If you haven't thought about your flock's fall and winter feed program yet, now is a great time to start. 🙌

October pasture looks beautiful but there's something important happening underneath that pretty picture. 🍂🐴

As fall sets in, cool-season grasses can actually spike in nonstructural carbohydrates, especially on cold nights followed by sunny days. For most horses this is not a problem. But for horses that are insulin-resistant, prone to laminitis, or easy keepers, October pasture can be one of the riskiest times of year.

The visual cues that usually signal danger in spring, lush green growth, rapid flush, don't apply the same way in fall. The grass can look sparse and dried out while still carrying elevated sugar levels.

If you manage a horse with metabolic concerns, October is worth paying close attention to. 👀

Autumn was made for dogs and they know it. 🍂🐾

Crisp air, crunchy leaves, and a pup who is absolutely living their best life. Fall walks are genuinely one of the best things about having a dog. They make you get outside even when you'd rather stay in and for that we are eternally grateful. 🧡

What's your favorite thing about fall walks with your dog?
