🤠We had the best time with all of you that were able to join us at our horse health event and dinner this week!
It was great to see a full house ready to learn “How to See Lameness in Your Horse” and you all brought some great questions and discussion. We hope you enjoyed the food, the presentation, and the discussion and we look forward to sharing another event like this with you in the near future!

☀️🌧️ Seasonal shifts are upon us! 📆 And boy do horses not enjoy them - sun/rain/sun/rain - what is a poor horse to do?! In this case they called our Dr. Claudia & Vet Assist Jessie to come make things feel alright again ☺️ 👏 I think on a bad day we all might want to do that… 🐎 💙

🌱 Just this week we have had a few of grass clippings questions from thoughtful owners! It is that time of year to make your plan to mow & create defensible space! 🔥 🏠 But - be sure as you make a plan for your house & pasture - you also make a plan for your horse to keep everyone safe & well 🌱

IT'S TIME FOR A MYTHBUSTER! 📢

Many people think that horses can safely eat grass clippings (grass is grass, right?) but that is a pretty common misconception and grass clippings actually pose a number of dangers to our equine friends.

While grass is meant to be slowly picked, ripped and chewed by the horse, grass clippings can quickly clump and cause choke if the animal ingests too many too fast. Grass clippings are also prone to fermentation which can cause colic, stomach and intestinal impactions, founder and laminitis.

Take-home message: Keep your horse away from grass clippings and in general never feed horses any food without the owner’s permission.

Thank you to the Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.
