What a Week!
We had a full (and fulfilling!) week last week with back-to-back events that brought together clients, veterinarians, and farriers for some incredible learning opportunities.

We kicked things off with our Client Education Meeting, followed by an outstanding Vet/Farrier Collaborative Event featuring Dr. Craig Lesser, a podiatry veterinarian from Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital, and Dr. Casey Cromer of Boehringer Ingelheim.

Dr. Lesser gave live demonstrations on the shoeing of both a laminitis case and a navicular horse, while Dr. Cromer led hands-on venogram instruction. The combination of practical application and expert insight made for an unforgettable experience.

Both Dr. Lesser and Dr. Cromer are not only highly skilled veterinarians, but also exceptional educators—and it showed. Farriers and veterinarians alike appreciated the opportunity to work side-by-side and dive deep into these complex cases.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—we’re already looking forward to the next one!

There has been another case confirmed by our office of West Nile Virus. The horse resides in Logan County and is the 4th case in Kentucky.

Summer and fall are the peak time for arbovirus infection as these diseases (which include Eastern Equine Encephalitis [EEE], West Nile Virus [WNV], Western Equine Encephalitis [WEE] and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis [VEE]) are transmitted by several different species of mosquitoes and biting insects.

With more states reporting cases of West Nile Virus (28 cases have been reported in August as of today), this is your reminder to keep your horses up to date on vaccinations with the guidance of your veterinarian to best protect your equine friends from infection.
