Happy Friday, everyone! 🌟A lot of you may know Jennifer already, but we wanted to highlight her today. Jen has been the heart of Arizona Equine for 25 years!Originally from Utah, she moved to Arizona when she was 10 and never looked back. When she’s not here taking care of your horses, you’ll find her hiking (she’s conquered the Grand Canyon three times!), spending time with her 2 kids and 3 grandchildren, or caring for her blind dog and her own horse.One of the things we love most about Jen? She volunteers her time on the Havasupai reservation, providing veterinary care to horses there. That’s just the kind of person she is, always looking out for horses, no matter where they are.Thanks for everything you do, Jen! 💚Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

☀️ Arizona heat hits hard, and fast.
Dehydration in horses can escalate quickly in our summer climate, and the signs aren’t always obvious.

Here are 3 proven, vet-recommended ways to encourage better hydration this season:👇

1️⃣ Add salt or electrolytes to trigger thirst
2️⃣ Soak hay, cubes, or grain to increase moisture intake
3️⃣ Offer slightly warmed or flavored water to make drinking more appealing

Simple changes can go a long way in protecting your horse’s health when temps rise.

🐴 Still worried your horse isn’t drinking enough? Give us a call, we’re here to help.

This is exactly why we do what we do. ❤️
When Dr. Robinson says “there are no dumb questions,” she means it. Every late-night text, every worried call, every “is this normal?” moment - she’s there because she knows that loving a horse means sometimes needing reassurance from someone who gets it.

The best part? This review captures what we believe: honest care over quick cash, patience over pressure, and genuine love for these incredible animals we’re lucky enough to work with.

To every horse owner who’s ever hesitated to call because you thought your question was “too small” - please don’t. We’d rather talk you through it than have you worry alone. That’s what we’re here for.

Dr. Robinson and our whole Arizona Equine family are honored to be part of your horse’s care team. Thank you for trusting us with what matters most to you. 🐴

🩺 June is Equine Colic Awareness Month. And here in Arizona, the risks are real and rising.

The heat, dry forage, water changes, turnout shifts…

Sometimes all it takes is a small routine change to set off something bigger.

And colic doesn’t always shout.
Often, it whispers first:👇

✔️ Pawing or acting unsettled
✔️ Turning away from feed or water
✔️ Lying down, getting up, then lying down again

If you’ve ever looked at your horse and thought “something feels off”—trust that instinct. You know your horse better than anyone.

We’ve seen too many “wait and see” moments turn into 2 a.m. emergencies.

If you’re unsure, don’t guess. Give us a call.

Colic doesn’t wait. And we’re here when you need us.

🦟 West Nile season has arrived in Arizona and the early signs can be deceptively subtle.

After nearly 40 years of caring for horses throughout the southeast valley, we've learned that horse owners have the best instincts. That feeling when your horse just isn't quite themselves? Trust it. West Nile Virus often begins exactly like that with your horse seeming "off."

Here's what we typically see in our Gilbert clinic and on farm calls:👇

• Unusual quietness or withdrawal from their normal routine
• Less enthusiasm at feeding time
• Mild fever (though only about 25% of horses develop one)
• Later neurological signs like unsteadiness or muscle twitching

The encouraging news? Prevention is highly effective. If your horse hasn't been vaccinated this year, it's not too late. Whether you need us to come to your farm or prefer to visit our hospital, we can protect them.

If something feels different about your horse, even if you can't pinpoint exactly what! Give us a call. We're here 24/7 for emergencies, and our experienced team can help determine if what you're seeing warrants immediate attention.

☀️ Arizona heat doesn’t give warnings. It just hits.

Horses can overheat quickly in our climate, and by the time you notice something’s off, it can already be serious.

Here are signs to watch for:👇

• Elevated breathing rate
• Weakness or stumbling
• Excessive or no sweating
• Skin that feels hot to the touch

Know the signs. Trust your gut. Don’t wait to call your vet.

Every year we treat horses for heat stress that could’ve been prevented with early action. We’d much rather help you catch it early than treat it late.

Need a summer wellness check? Or just want to talk through your horse’s hydration and heat risk? We’re here for that too.

🪰 Doing all the right things and still losing the fly battle? You’re not alone.

You clean the stalls. You spray him morning and night. You’ve got traps, masks, fans and somehow, he’s still stomping and swishing like crazy.

Arizona’s fly season is a different beast. Our heat, dry conditions, and long fly window make it one of the hardest regions to manage without a real plan.

Here’s the truth:👇

✔️ Most fly sprays stop working within hours
✔️ Feed-throughs only work when timed right
✔️ And if you don’t rotate products, flies adapt fast

Let’s build a plan that actually works for your barn, your setup, and your horses.

We can help you combine:
• Feed-throughs
• Spray rotation
• Environmental strategies
• Wound and eye protection

Because when the flies win—your horse loses comfort, and you lose peace of mind.

🪰 A wound that won’t heal? It could be more than a scrape.

In Arizona, flies are more than just a nuisance, they can lead to summer sores, a painful skin condition caused by fly larvae (Habronema) entering small wounds or moist areas of skin.

Here’s what to watch for:
• Wounds that don’t heal normally
• Swelling or oozing skin
• Sores appearing near eyes, legs, sheath, or belly

These sores can grow quickly and may require medical treatment to resolve. The earlier we catch them, the better the outcome.

Flies can make summer miserable—for horses and their owners.

🪰They’re more than a nuisance. They can cause stress, irritation, and even lead to infections if left unchecked.

Here are 6 vet-approved tips from our team at Arizona Equine to help keep your horse comfortable and fly-free all summer:

1. Clean stalls daily.
Manure and damp bedding are fly breeding grounds. Cleaning regularly breaks the cycle.

2. Eliminate standing water.
Buckets, troughs, and puddles can all attract flies and mosquitoes. Dump, scrub, and refill often.

3. Use feed-through fly control.
These products stop flies before they hatch. Start early in the season and stay consistent.

4. Rotate your fly sprays.
Flies adapt quickly. Switching sprays with different ingredients keeps them guessing.

5. Mask up and monitor wounds.
Fly masks, sheets, and wraps protect sensitive areas. Check for skin irritation or non-healing wounds—summer sores sneak up fast.

6. Stay consistent.
The secret to fly control isn’t just what you use but it’s how often you use it.

Need help building a custom fly prevention plan? We’re here to keep your horses healthy, happy, and ready for anything Arizona throws at them.
