Before blanketing your horse, make sure it fits properly and isn’t rubbing. A good fit keeps your horse warm, dry, and comfortable.

It started 17 years ago with two very kind people who took a chance on me. Broken with no where to go, they welcomed Hoofbeats Equine to their beautiful property. With the goal in mind to eventually give Hoofbeats a permanent shingle, we worked hard and waited for God’s timing. This entire project is a testimony to God’s faithfulness in my life. I’ve waited 17 years to decorate the walls with Bible verses that I have leaned on throughout my career. Our dream is becoming a reality very soon and we couldn’t be more thankful. Bring your horses and get an earful about Jesus and his mercies. We are living proof that he keeps his promises. 🙏 ✝️

As temperatures drop, your horse may need extra calories to stay warm. Check hay quality and adjust feeding as needed.

🛑 Should a squared up horse have asymmetric scapulas? If we got your attention, the answer is NO! 👎🏻

🛑This horse presented to us with a grade 4 unblockable lameness on the RF. She has severe carpal wobble and could not lift her LF limb.

🛑 Did you know that there are approximately 10 important anatomical junctions in the shoulder girdle region? This region is responsible for the stay apparatus of the front limbs. The brachial plexus, nuchal tie in, supraspinous ligament, dorsal scapular ligament, scapular cartilage, etc all live here.

🛑 We don’t know what caused her injury…..she won’t tell 🤫. We do know that her lameness has been dramatically decreased and she is able to stand on her RF with her LF in flexion for short time periods - improvement. We’ve completed 2 treatments and sent her home for some lunge line work. She will return in 2 weeks for a recheck. We expect her to return to useable soundness considering the progress she has already made.

🛑 Take home point: It’s not always the leg!

After experiencing an emergency with my own animal, the news station reached out to discuss the veterinary shortage. Listen up!

A Virginia veterinarian said her industry is facing a shortage of doctors and her family experienced the crisis firsthand when her own dog needed specialized treatment.

Now’s the perfect time to review your horse’s deworming plan. Target parasites before winter to keep your horse healthy through the colder months.

🚙 💨 When your car is broken down, does the mechanic just look at the tires? 🛑 No, of course not!

When a horse is painful with muscle soreness, body dysfunction, poor hair coat, and behavioral changes, it’s important to evaluate the ENTIRE horse, including the engine. 🐎 💨

We offer in house blood work. We can tell you how your “horse is running” internally and externally within minutes. Prevention is key and it all ties together! 🩸 💉

Blood work will tell us about your horse’s nutritional status, metabolic health, inflammatory levels, muscle function, and electrolyte balance. 💪🏻 🥕 🐴

Equine chiropractic care can enhance performance, flexibility, and symmetry in your athlete. We supplement our axial skeletal treatments with chiropractic adjustments in almost all cases. Once the muscle tension is relieved, it’s important to adjust the horse. Have you ever had a pain that your human chiropractor fixed? We certainly have! Happy spine = happy horse!
