As many of you know Sound Equine is a wonderful teaching hospital and each year we bring on an intern to help expand their knowledge base. Right now we are looking for two weeks of pet friendly housing for one of our interns while their permanent housing prepares to welcome them.

Dates in need are June 21st 2026 through July 4th 2026. Housing would need to allow either one dog or one cat.

Please comment if you have temporary housing available and our Hospital Manager will reach out!

Here is the answer to this weeks client quiz.

How often does my horse need a flu/rhino vaccine?
A. Yearly
B. Every 6 months
C. Every 4-6 months.

C. Every 4-6 months. The efficacy of the F/R vaccine begins to wane at 4 months If horses are in high-risk situations or traveling frequently, stay very up to date on this vaccine. If horses remain at home in a closed herd, this vaccine is elective. However, be aware of potential risks from visitors or in case of emergency hospitalization or travel.

Here is the answer to this weeks Monday quiz!

My horse should start senior feed at what age:
A. 15
B. 20
C. If they get Cushing's disease
D. If they choke or drop food
E. None of the above

E. None of the above
None of these are specific indicators that a horse needs senior feed. At some point, a horses teeth start to expire, and become inefficient or unable to grind hay (sooner if the hay is "stemmy"). The first sign is longer f***l fibers (more than half of f***l fibers are longer than 1/2"). Some horses will never need "senior feed" but instead will eat hay pellets as a mash, plus all the normal supplements they have already been eating. Take a look at our handout (link) for feeding geriatric horses.

Keep an eye our for next weeks quiz and keep testing that knowledge!
