📸 How a Current X-Ray Can Help Your Farrier with Shoeing 🐎🔍

Did you know that having up-to-date X-rays of your horse’s hooves can make a huge difference in their comfort and performance? Proper balance and shoeing are key to soundness, and X-rays give your farrier valuable insight that can’t be seen from the outside!

🔹 Why Are X-Rays Helpful?
✅ Show internal hoof balance for precise trimming & shoe placement
✅ Identify coffin bone alignment and prevent excessive toe/heel length
✅ Detect hidden issues like thin soles, navicular changes, or arthritis
✅ Help create a customized shoeing plan for improved performance

💡 Regular hoof X-rays + skilled farriery = a sounder, happier horse! If your horse struggles with hoof issues, consider scheduling a set of X-rays before their next shoeing appointment.

🌡️ Colic Prevention During Weather Changes 🐎

Sudden weather changes—whether it’s a drop in temperature or a shift in seasons—can increase the risk of colic in horses. Here’s how you can help prevent digestive upset during these transitions:

🔹 Keep Water Readily Available 💧
❌ Cold weather can reduce water intake, leading to dehydration and impaction colic.
✅ Keep water above freezing and encourage drinking by adding electrolytes or soaking feed.

🔹 Maintain a Consistent Diet 🌾
❌ Sudden changes in hay or grain can disrupt gut bacteria.
✅ Introduce new forage gradually and ensure plenty of fiber for gut motility.

🔹 Encourage Movement 🚶‍♂️
❌ Reduced turnout or exercise can slow digestion.
✅ Keep horses moving with turnout, hand-walking, or light riding, even in colder months.

🔹 Monitor for Early Signs 👀
⚠️ Watch for decreased appetite, pawing, rolling, or changes in manure consistency—these can be early warning signs of colic!

🩺 Prevention is key! If your horse is showing signs of discomfort, contact your veterinarian immediately. Stay ahead of seasonal colic risks with proactive management!

💉 Ultrasound-Guided PEP Injections for Sacroiliac Joint Pain 🐎

Horses with sacroiliac (SI) joint pain often struggle with:
❌ Poor hind-end engagement
❌ Reluctance to collect or push forward
❌ Back soreness or difficulty holding leads
❌ Performance decline & discomfort

🔬 How Can PEP Help?
Platelet-Enriched Plasma (PEP) is a cutting-edge regenerative therapy that uses your horse’s own healing factors to repair damaged tissues. When injected directly into the SI joint under ultrasound guidance, PEP helps:

✅ Reduce inflammation & pain naturally
✅ Stimulate tissue repair & joint stabilization
✅ Improve mobility & performance

💡 Why Ultrasound Guidance?
Using ultrasound ensures precise placement of PEP into the SI joint, maximizing effectiveness for a faster, more targeted recovery.

🩺 If your horse struggles with hind-end weakness or back pain, PEP therapy could help! Contact us today to learn more.

💉 Equine Hock Injections: What You Need to Know! 🐎

Hock injections are a common treatment for horses experiencing hock pain, stiffness, or decreased performance due to arthritis or inflammation in the lower joints.

🔹 Why Are Hock Injections Used?
Over time, the hock joints experience wear and tear, especially in performance horses. When inflammation and discomfort set in, it can lead to:
❌ Reluctance to engage hindquarters
❌ Difficulty in collection or lead changes
❌ Stiffness or short-strided movement
❌ Swelling or heat in the hock area

🔹 How Do Hock Injections Help?
A specialized anti-inflammatory injection (such as corticosteroids) is placed directly into the joint to:
✅ Reduce pain and inflammation
✅ Improve flexibility and comfort
✅ Enhance overall performance and longevity

💡 Is your horse struggling with hind-end stiffness or resistance? A hock evaluation can determine if injections could help improve their comfort and movement.

🦷 Why Does Your Horse Need an Annual Dental Check? 🐴

Just like people, horses need regular dental care to stay healthy and comfortable! Over time, their teeth continuously grow and wear unevenly, which can lead to:

❌ Sharp points & ulcers – causing pain while eating or riding
❌ Bit resistance & head tossing – due to dental discomfort
❌ Difficulty chewing & weight loss – from undiagnosed dental issues
❌ Hooks, waves, or uneven wear – affecting jaw alignment and digestion

🔍 Annual dental exams help prevent these issues! A routine check allows your vet to:
✅ Smooth sharp points & correct imbalances
✅ Detect early signs of dental disease
✅ Ensure proper bit comfort & performance

💡 Prevention is key! Regular dental care keeps your horse eating comfortably, performing their best, and living a healthier life. Schedule your horse’s annual dental check-up today!
