🌟Cowgirl CE Tombstone 2025 🌟

What a fabulous weekend spent with 24 large animal veterinarians! We had 2 days of continuing education at Tombstone Monument Ranch, in the afternoons we got to go on a 2.5 hour trail ride and visit the historic town of Tombstone! Memories were made along with new friendships! What a fantastic event!

🌟Animal Chiropractic Program 🌟

The Animal Chiropractic Program kicked off this weekend with Module 1! Doctors from all over the country showed up and I was blessed to be one of the Equine Instructors!

To be accepted as a student in this program, you have to be a Veterinarian or Human Chiropractor.

Over the next 5 months, these doctors will have studied online, taken multiple written tests, lab practical exams, and met monthly for 3 full days of lectures, learning and hands-on training.

At the end of this program,the students who earned a passing grade, will have the opportunity to take another weekend for a written and lab practical exam to pass the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) Certification Tests.

This program is not easy but it is incredible! The students who commit themselves to continuing to learn and grow, will be better doctors for it and will be able to help so many animals!

Commonly Asked Questions:

1. How does someone say they’re an animal chiro but they are not a doctor?

Anyone claiming to be an Animal Chiro or who “adjusts” horses who is NOT a Vet or Human DC is ILLEGALLY working on animals.

2. Why does this happen?

These individuals have no license, they have no liability insurance, and they are probably less expensive then a trained Veterinarian or Human Chiropractor. Unfortunately, these people still advertise they “adjust” horses and will continue to adjust because many horse owners (and some veterinarians ☹️) do not know the laws.

This is happening all over Texas. The only way to prevent an untrained individual working on your equine athlete is to educate yourself on who is working on your horse and what credentials they have.

Education is key to positive change and I am blessed with being able to share my passion for helping horses ❤️.

⭐️ Incisor Work ⭐️

We cannot create a perfect and balanced mouth in all horses with one dental float however, we can work towards creating a well balanced mouth with adjustments made every few months.

🌟Electrolytes & Cold Weather 🌟

Did you know your horse’s body is made up of almost 70 percent water?

That’s why proper hydration is so important to your horse’s health!

Electrolytes are critical in maintaining hydration as well as encouraging water consumption, especially when the weather changes drastically.

Horses are less likely to drink cold or Iced over water, therefore serving warm water at least twice daily (when temps get below 40 degrees) can be extremely helpful. Also, the bathtub is probably the easiest and quickest way unless you have heated water outside.

Administering an electrolyte paste and/or offering electrolytes in feed or water before and during the extreme weather will help stimulate your horse’s thirst response and help them stay hydrated.

For some of my favorite electrolyte products head over to or ❤️. They both have an awesome selection!

Stay warm, stay safe and keep your horses hydrated!

🌟Whole Horse Approach 🌟

TEqLC offers a unique experience for the equine athlete.

Our lameness exams are not your “regular,” lameness exams.

While we start with a general lameness evaluation, we also perform a neurological evaluation, an acupuncture scan, a chiropractic evaluation, general physical exam and a nutritional evaluation.

Based on your athlete’s needs we can create a plan of action. We offer diagnostic work ups including digital radiography, ultrasound examinations, diagnostic blocks, etc.

Based on our exam and diagnostics, we can create preventative or maintenance plans for your athletes!

We will often inject horses with routine steroids but we also offer orthobiologics as well as alternative therapies.

Each horse is unique in it’s own way, what works for one does not work for all. Let us help your athlete feel their best!

Text/call (940) 367-5269 for scheduling.

🌟Committed & Passionate 🌟

TEqLC is a sports medicine practice but part of sports medicine is having a well balanced horse from teeth to hooves.

The next few days we will be learning from the best of the best Dr. Nick Moore.

🌟 New Year, New Horse 🌟

Are you ready to buy a new horse but unsure if you want to schedule a Pre-Purchase Exam (PPE)?

Here are a few reasons why it’s a good idea:

🌟Know what you’re buying-let’s step away from the Pass or Fail mentality and provide facts about the horse in front of us-the PPE is designed to identify issues and provide the buyer with information.

🌟Know what you’re buying-Radiographs-we can take survey films or look at specific areas where common problems develop based on the horse’s discipline-again this can be used to identify issues-BONUS* if you buy the horse-these radiographs can serve as a baseline.

🌟 Know what you’re buying-even though there are no guarantees or a crystal ball to see this horse’s future, the PPE provides information and the Buyer can decide Risk vs Reward.

TEqLC offers the PPE from weanlings to pro level athletes and everything in between, contact us if we can help provide you with information on a new to you Equine!

🥶Cold Front Tips 🥶

The cold weather will be here before you know it! Now is the time to make sure you are ready!

Here are a few tips to get your equine safely through this cold snap:

1. Forage, Forage, Forage….keeping hay in front of your equine is important for them to stay warm!

2. Offering Warm Water is helpful 3-4 times daily as well as making sure they have access to non-frozen water at all times.

3. Electrolytes! Check out for some of my favorite products to keep your equine drinking! (We ❤️ Rock On A Rope)!

4. Shelter. This should be obvious but your equine needs a place to get out of the wind and freezing rain.

5. Blankets. If you don’t routinely blanket but it’s less than 35 degrees outside and you have a senior or sick equine they may need help staying warm. A clean and dry blanket can help them maintain body temperature.

6. Have a plan! Emergencies happen, being prepared goes along way! TEqLC is available for In-Hospital emergencies with a climate controlled environment to help your equine.

Stay safe and stay warm out there!
