Got a little story for you, Ags (and others, I just can't say the phrase without the last word). Ipad kids, keep scrolling, I'm going to use lots of words. We'll be back to our usual snark at a later date. TLDR: Alternative therapies are legit.

First, a confession. I still get a little apologetic when talking about chiropractic and acupuncture in spite of years of seeing great results. It's not magic, it might be voodoo, but it does work.

I tend to focus on the equine side of things because that's most of what I do, but today I have a cool canine success story. I have a patient, lets call her Lucy (not her actual name), who is a retired working canine. Those who know me know I'm an absolute sucker for a dog with a job. Retirement had been sort of thrust upon Lucy because she had starting having trouble getting around well enough to do her job. Her handler gave her a great home, and wanted to do everything he could to keep her comfortable. I saw her because I really thought chiropractic and acupuncture would help with her mobility. I first treated her a year or two ago, but wasn't local to her area so her handler continued treatment with other practitioners. I had a chance to see them again recently, and he told me that Lucy was doing so well he had actually tried to get her back on duty! She didn't go back to work, but it was paper that kept her on the sideline, not her body. Lucy had a very official job, so returning to that wasn't in the cards, but she's feeling great and living her very best life with her handler. She's on a combined regimen of pharmaceutical treatment and alternative therapy that works well for her. That is what it's all about!

Shout out to all the NRCHA trainers at the Snaffle Bit, who decided getting something with the mind of a toddler and the body of a pro athlete to do hard things in a scary setting wasn't enough and said, "you know what, lets turn a disrespectful bovine loose in the arena just to make this interesting."

Had a great trip south! I'm back in SD now playing catch up while we still have some decent weather.

You call it annoying my dog...I call it an impromptu neurologic examination.

Since there's been a little wave of new folks on here, it seemed like time to do a little intro in case you've stumbled in looking for wisdom, or you realize I'm that grouchy vet you can't stand and want to bail out now!

I'm Jesi Harvey, and I became a licensed veterinarian in Texas in 2013. I worked in equine and mixed animal practice there until 2020 when I made the move to Oklahoma. While working in OK I started Outta Line Animal Chiropractic as a side line to my primary job breeding mares. After a few years in OK I moved to South Dakota to be closer to my parents in Wyoming. My time in South Dakota led to becoming an independent contractor and the development of Outta Line Veterinary Services. I'm licensed in SD, WY, TX & OK. I'm certified by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association, and I am trained in veterinary acupuncture (working on my certification). I've been blessed to have worked on some legendary horses and with some legendary veterinarians. I'm pretty average, but my network helps me get to do some cool things!

This time of year I spend a lot of time on the road with the bossiest heeler around. I mostly use this page to share travel plans and information that I hope people find useful or at least entertaining. If you look back, you'll see I've been pro-sale repository since before it was cool.

This week I'll be in Jacksboro, TX at Live Oak Veterinary Clinic, and I'll be in at the Snaffle Bit Futurity a few days too so let me know if I can do anything for you. 605-787-8315

Brief PSA: One-eared Willie & I were both today years old and made the same face when we learned that some of the horse-buying public thinks that the mere existence of radiographs in a sale repository means that those radiographs are 100% free of any abnormal findings.

No.

This is not how sales work. This is not how x-rays work. This is not how horses work.

Horse auctions are the peak example of "You're an adult now" and "Nobody is coming to save or stop you" lessons.

Sale radiographs are information. Full stop. What is a deal breaker for one client is a bid limiter for another client. Very very few horses are 100% clean. It's a matter of what abnormalities do you absolutely not want to take home and what level of risk are you comfortable with at what price point. Often the horse is consigned to the sale long before the first film is taken, so even if there's a time bomb on the x-rays, the seller didn't know about it before the x-ray deadline. Stop blaming sellers for not doing your homework for you. If the radiographs exist, get them looked at!

Thank you for attending my TED Talk. Love y'all!

Shopping the Pink Buckle Sale? Don't be dumb, check the radiographs! I'm here, but any licensed veterinarian in any state can review x-rays for you simply by getting a login. It's easy. The people running the repository are absolutely here to help. There's no excuse for not doing it. Maybe it costs you money, but I'd argue it saves you money in the long run! If your own vet isn't available, call or text me. There's literally not an excuse for buying something out of this sale without knowing what's on those x-rays. 605-787-8315

Happy October! I'm once again on the road with my best heeler co-pilot. I'll be around Guthrie, OK this week if anyone needs anything at the Pink Buckle, then I'm off to Jacksboro for the next week, with a few ventures in to Ft Worth for the Snaffle Bit Futurity. Good luck to all the competitors, but especially to the cute little bay roan filly that's going to win the Snaffle Bit!!!

Patty is modeling peak broodmare physique! If your broodmare doesn't look like this, now is the best time of year to correct that. Get those colts weaned (age appropriately, of course), float her teeth, and check for parasites. Then feed her until she's fat and happy going into winter. As one of my college professors used to say, broodmares should show up to breeding season with their lunch already packed!

It's also a good time to check older mares for metabolic diseases like Cushing's or insulin dysregulation, and evaluate for signs of lameness so you can have issues managed before the clock is ticking on breeding season. A little fat is good, a lot of fat might be a problem!
