🐴☀️ Summer Sores in Horses? 🐴☀️
— Here’s what you need to know! —

Ever notice a wound on your horse that just won’t heal in the summer? It might be more than just a cut — it could be a summer sore.
⠀
🪱 What are Summer Sores?
They’re caused by the larvae of stomach worms (Habronema) deposited by flies into wounds or moist areas. The result? Angry, itchy, non-healing wounds that can quickly get worse if untreated.
⠀
🚩 Common Signs:
• Persistent wounds that ooze or crust
• Itching or rubbing
• Granulation tissue that looks like proud flesh
⠀
🧴 Prevention Tips:
• Fly control is KEY 🪰
• Treat wounds immediately
• Regular deworming program

📍Common Areas Include:
• Eyes
• Sheath
• Open wounds
• Commissure of lip
⠀
🩺 If you suspect a summer sore, call your vet! Early treatment can prevent months of frustration and discomfort for your horse!

It’s about time we formally introduce technician Ashlee!

“Hi I’m Ashlee! I’m one of Annie’s vet techs. I’ve been with her for the past few months and have shared some time previously with her at Idaho Equine! I have been apart of the western industry my whole life, I started rodeoing when I was 4 and found that horses were my biggest passion! I’m grateful every day to be part of the western industry, helping where I can — when I’m not in the arena or the clinic, you’ll find me at yoga or the gym!”

Many of you have already had the opportunity to meet Ashlee, she has already been such an asset to White Pine and I’m so happy to have her help in caring for our patients.

A great reminder that even our horses who don’t travel need their annual vaccines! Horses in Idaho get hit hard with West Nile every year and it’s very easy to prevent!

If you need to schedule your spring vaccines don’t wait, the bugs are already out. 208-462-0999

Health officials are urging horse owners to vaccinate against West Nile virus as temperatures increase in the Treasure Valley.

White Pine in the wild!

A few weeks ago Dr. Annie and technician Mikiah took some time to show off their mustangs at the Idaho Horse Park. A big congrats to Mikiah who ended up winning High Point Mustang with her mare Jupiter.

Just under a year ago Jupiter was seen on emergency when she got her hoof caught in a fence which resulted in a concerning laceration to the hoof wall. Thanks to farrier, Jake Manka and Mikiah’s committed care, Jupiter healed up great and is back to winning in the show ring and teaching young kids how to ride!
