🫧 Prepping for surgery involves a series of events to ensure the surface is appropriately sterilized. The horse’s hair is clipped over the site (the right front fetlock joint in this case), a series of regular scrubs are performed (shown in this picture), and then a surgical scrub using sterile gloves, sterile gauze and containers is completed. Once the surgeon themself has scrubbed their hands, gowned and sterilely gloved they will place sterile drapes over the prepped area(s) followed by placing an antimicrobial ioband. Now the surgeon is ready to start the operation. All of this takes place over approximately 10 minutes depending on the size and location of the surgical site.

👀 Have you seen our aerial operating viewing room for clients? It allows clients to watch an operation on their horse comfortably from above. Have a surgery question about your horse? Call 918-827-8000 to speak to one of our three surgeons today!

✈️ Dr. Jake Thompson, intern veterinarian, attended the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Annual Convention held in early December in Denver, Colorado. He proudly represented Pine Ridge Equine at the Intern/Extern Career Night, where he spoke to more than 100 equine-focused veterinary students. During the event, Dr. Thompson shared his experience as an intern, distributed information about Pine Ridge Equine, and handed out hospital swag.

While in Denver, Dr. Thompson also participated in a hands-on wet lab hosted by ISELP, focused on ultrasonographic evaluation of the forelimb and hindlimb proximal suspensory ligaments.

🎄 Our annual Christmas gathering was a wonderful success! We celebrated another successful year alongside a strong group of talented, dedicated individuals we are incredibly thankful to have. Anytime we come together for a work outing, we’re reminded just how special this team truly is. Thank you to our Pine Ridge Equine team for all you do to make our day-to-day run smoothly—AND for making it exceptional and meaningful.

🥼Last month, 5 of our anesthesia veterinary technicians and assistants attended our sister hospital’s continuing educational seminar covering all things equine anesthesia!

🔹Cheyanne Bynum, RVT
🔹Annetta Robbins, RVT
🔹 Kayla Morgan, RVT
🔹 Sabrina Snell, Operations Manager/Vet Assistant
🔹 Heather Toon, Vet Assistant

They reviewed anesthetic drugs, anesthesia protocols, basic and advanced monitoring techniques, and recovery protocols. They finished the day participating in a hands on lab where horses were placed under general anesthesia and those advanced skills were put into action. This seminar was led by Shauna Feldsher, BS, CVT, CCFP, VTS (Anesthesia/Analgesia) of Oregon State Veterinary Hospital.

Equine only continuing education seminars for veterinary technicians are extremely rare and we are grateful Oakridge Equine and Boehringer Ingelheim were able to put this together. We look forward to the next one!

COLIC INFORMATION

⁉️ True or false ⁉️
Horses can throw up — FALSE!

Unlike humans, horses cannot vomit. Horses commonly exhibit colic symptoms (pawing, rolling, off feed) when their stomachs are overly full of stomach contents also known as reflux. Reflux can occur for various reasons:
✅ Physical blockage such as impaction or twist further down the intestinal tract
✅ Functional blockage due to abnormal intestinal motility
✅ Gastric impaction

🪣 These horses typically present painful, with elevated heart rate and respiratory rate. A nasogastric “stomach” tube is passed through the nose into the esophagus and into the stomach. Once in the stomach, the excess fluid is removed using the same tube as a siphon. We measure the amount of reflux removed as it’s important to determine prognosis as well as keeping up with the horse’s hydration. We feel it is very important to check for reflux every time we pass a nasogastric tube, because putting more fluid into an already full stomach is not good.

🧐 Can’t you just oil ‘em doc? NO❗️

If the horse has fluid backed up on their stomach, then administering any further fluids (water/oil/laxatives) is contradicted and can lead to stomach rupture which is not repairable. The best thing to do at that point is to pursue IV fluids in a hospitalized setting or further diagnostics to determine if surgical intervention is warranted.

✨Do you have foal fever?! 2026 breeding season is right around the corner! REMINDER: Beginning December 1st, broodmares should be put under artificial lighting to encourage an earlier onset of their estrous cycle.💡

Naturally, mares cycle seasonally when daylight hours are the longest starting in April. If you plan to breed earlier than that, you can “trick” them into cycling sooner by keeping them stalled under lights (literally) for 16 hours a day. Consistency is key! Missing a day here or there will affect them. Your pregnant mares should also be under lights if they’re due early in the year and you intend to breed them back.

Ways to accomplish this efficiently:
⏱️ Use lights on timers in your barn for stalled horses or those kept in indoor arenas

🏠 Bring mares in before it gets dark out to put under lights OR keep in a small, well lit outdoor paddock

👀 The Equilume mask emits light into one of the mare’s eyes on a timer and can be safely worn inside or outside

‼️ WARNING : Graphic Pictures ‼️
These pictures may be disturbing to some but are only shared for educational purposes.

We’re happy to share that this horse is still doing remarkably well three years later and is thriving at 33 years old. This remains the most severe case of EOTRH our hospital has ever encountered.

If your horse is displaying any of the clinical signs noted or you have further questions about EOTRH, please call our office 918-827-8000 to speak to one of our veterinarians.

💉💫 What is PROSTRIDE? 💫 💉

ProStride (by Zoetis) is a regenerative product available for your horse using their own blood, a premade kit, a centrifuge and a few other supplies. Your horse’s blood is collected into a syringe with anticoagulant and then moved into the appropriate devices within the kit, centrifuged following the instructions, and separated where indicated. The process takes approximately 20 minutes from start to finish.

The final product yields on average 3cc of “Prostride” containing a high concentration of plasma proteins, anti-inflammatory cytokines, and growth factors. These include proteins such interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein (IRAP/IL-1ra), alpha-2 macroglobulin (A*M), soluble interleukin-1 receptor (sIL-1R) and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors (sTNF-R’s) to name a few. These products are key in breaking the inflammatory cycle in joints thus stopping joint pain. Prostride is great for conditions such as osteoarthritis, synovitis and tendon injuries.

At Pine Ridge, we have seen numerous benefits using Prostride over traditional joint injections, which include:
💉 Longer time between joint injections (due to the injections lasting longer)
💉 Safe to use in all horses including metabolic conditions such as PPID, insulin resistance, and even those with laminitis.
💉Decreased joint effusion (swelling)
💉 Convenient, same day, one time injection versus a series of treatments
💉⭐️Platelet Poor Plasma ⭐️ (yellow by product obtained during processing) has numerous benefits itself for your equine athlete—joint, tendon and ligament injections, mesotherapy, corneal diseases, nebulizing for various respiratory conditions, SI injections and more. Ask us more about this at your next appointment!
💫 We continue to hear positive feedback of overall improved performance from the owner, rider and/or trainer post injection with Prostride!

To schedule a soundness exam or learn more about if Prostride is right for your horse, call 918-827-8000.
