‘Tis the season 😫
Tick season is here, and protecting your horses is important. Ticks can spread illnesses like Lyme disease and anaplasmosis, but a few simple steps can help reduce the risk.
🐴 Check horses regularly for ticks and remove them promptly.
🌿 Keep pastures and fence lines trimmed, clear away brush, and limit access to wooded areas where ticks thrive.
🛡️ Use horse-safe topical insecticides labeled for tick control before turnout or trail riding through tall grass and brush. Be sure to carefully follow all label directions and warnings.
Prevention is one of the best ways to keep your horses healthy this season!
