IT’S NOT NOTHING!!! 🫶🏼🐴

You’re not just a vet tech. You’re the extra set of hands, the calm in the chaos, the advocate for the animals, and the backbone of veterinary medicine.

The long days, the late nights, the dirty boots, the hard cases, and the endless love for the animals. It all matters. YOU matter.

From all of us at White Pine Equine, HAPPY VET TECH WEEK to the ones who give their all, even when no one is watching. 🤍

FOR THE HORSES. FOR THEIR PEOPLE.

✨🐴 FUN FACT FRIDAY 🐴✨

Horses can sleep standing up! 💤

Horses can sleep standing up due to a unique anatomical arrangement of tendons and ligaments called the stay apparatus. This allows them to “lock” the major joints of their fore and hind limbs with minimal muscular effort. It’s a survival tactic that allows them to rest while still being ready to bolt from a predator lightning quick! ⚡️🐎

But standing sleep isn’t enough! Horses still need to lie down to reach REM sleep. Ideally, they need opportunities for at least 20–30 minutes of lying-down sleep each day to get that important REM rest.

A few ways we can help encourage better rest:
🌙 Turn off unnecessary barn lights at night
🤫 Keep nighttime activity and noise to a minimum
🛏️ Provide a clean, dry, comfortable place to lie down
🐴 Make sure they feel safe and secure in their environment
👀 Pay attention if a horse rarely—or never—lies down

So yes, your horse might be snoozing on their feet… but they still need to get horizontal for the good stuff. 😴

Good sleep is part of good horse health. 🤍
