SCAM ALERT! Since we are not tech savy and don’t know how to see all the junk posts someone is making on our behalf, this is my notification to you all. We will Never sell any clothing or branded items on this page nor have we ever. If you see it, it isn’t from us. Apparently they can block the comments from us as well so I can’t find them to get rid of or block them either. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

Please pray for all the staff and horse owners at Woodland Run this morning. It’s every horse person’s worst nightmare to have a barn fire and I know they will be devastated. They also are resilient and no doubt will rebuild but they’ll need all our prayers to get through this.

This is a great reminder and some good photos to go along with it.

🚨 We have seen TWO RED BAGS in the past 4 days!! It is time for our annual foaling post about RED BAG DELIVERIES! We share this post every year as we are determined to educate as many as possible and save foals!

We are in the midst of foaling season and we want to remind you of what is normal and abnormal. The placenta is made up of two major parts: the red bag (chorioallantois) and the white bag (amnion). The red bag attaches to the uterine wall, which allows the exchange of nutrients and oxygen to the fetus.

In a normal delivery the amnion is visible and characterized by a white appearance. A red bag delivery is characterized by a red velvety appearance. 🚨 A red bag delivery is considered an EMERGENCY as it signifies premature separation of the placenta leading to a lack of oxygen to the fetus. ‼️YOU NEED TO INTERVENE IMMEDIATELY ‼️ The red placental membrane should be opened carefully to release fluid, the foal should be delivered/pulled with your assistance and then stimulated to breathe. Foals may develop problems associated with lack of oxygen even though they appear normal at birth.

⭐️ If your mare is having OR HAD a red bag delivery, please call Pine Ridge Equine Hospital 918-827-8000 ASAP or your regular veterinarian!

I just wanted to let you all know that Prascend rebates end Nov 30th this year. If they resume again next year it likely won’t be until spring so you may want to stock up a little.

We re-scoped Spencer a few days ago since he had completed his 28day Gastrogard treatment. His non glandular ulcers were healed up very nicely. But, we did find he has some glandular ulceration that is still bothering him. There are some before and after photos of the “white/yellow” part of his stomach for comparison. The entrance to the duodenum has a funky red patch and is swollen and he is still not eating his grain well so that needs to be treated. That’s one of the benefits of scoping, you can see exactly where ulcers are and know what medication would help them the most.

Don’t forget we have our gastroscope day coming up next week! On Thurs the 18th we will be set up for scoping stomachs and if your horse ends up needing Gastrogard for treatment we will give 7 tubes free with the purchase of 21 more to get your full month of treatment in. That’s a $275 savings. Please message us here or text Galen to set up your time slot.
We have so many client stories of their horses running their best times, being calm and quiet on trail and looking better after they got treated for ulcers. It’s such a prevalent problem in the equine world these days so if you’re wondering if yours may have ulcers, sign up to get it checked out.

Every horse will react differently to stomach ulcers. We’ve seen some with tiny ulcers that are falling apart and others that have horrible ulcers and have a minor symptom. Case in point…our daughter’s younger horse we just got in September seemed to adjust to the herd ok. It was the normal chasing and territorial behavior in the beginning but all settled and get along fine. He’s a very laid back and friendly now 4 yr old. He showed no signs of ulcers in the way his coat looked, attitude or cinchiness. He has had the majority of that time to be a horse until the beginning of June. In the last few weeks we had noticed he wouldn’t clean up his grain but would eat hay. We attributed this to the fact that they had finally graduated to full time on pasture and he was just filling up on grass. We cut his grain back and over the next week or so he still didn’t clean it up. Never acted colicy or pawed when he ate like some do. We decided to go ahead and scope him. Low and behold, some of the worst ulcers we’ve seen to date! Needless to say he is now being treated but I share that so you can see there is a wide variety of symptoms and reaction to degrees of ulcers. He has had these for some time as evident by the chronic looking nature of them but never let on.
On the flip side is our son’s horse who started acting up at shows. Kicking out, hu***ng up a bit etc. we thought it could be the fact that he hasn’t been to any shows since last fair but decided to check anyway. He has minor ulcers compared to my daughter’s horse but reacts differently to them.
SO, if your horses behavior is different then what they normally are. Don’t immediately chalk it up to a training issue. It might very well be, but it could also be that he has a reason for his behavior.

Why spend all that money on Gastrogard or other meds when I can use supplements or compounded meds that are cheaper? Where we can’t obviously speak to all horses on supplements or that have been treated with compounded meds, we can speak to the many we’ve scoped that HAVE been on them. We’ve seen several horses come in on various preventive supplements/treatments or that have been recently treated with compounded meds that have ulcers. Where we are sure several people love their brand of choice and have luck with them, we can say that we’ve seen them all being used in various horses that still have ulcers. Money “saved” on scoping or proper meds for the type of ulcer you have isn’t money saved at all if it doesn’t help your horse recover from the problem he has.
