🌈 After hours calls with a side of chasing rainbows last night

🩺🆘Friendly reminder that in order to have emergency coverage through me, you need to have done preventative care (dental work and/or vaccines) with me with that specific horse in the past 12 months.

🐴 🤝I don’t make this policy to be a jerk or force you to use me. It’s a rule so that I can be as fair as possible when I’ve got more calls then I have hours in the day.

The policy shall be repealed once I learn how to clone myself so I can be in more than one place at once 😉

I know it’s oh so tempting but hold off on grazing until it’s safer for both your horses and your pasture!

🐴 Hold your horses! Before turning them out to pasture, here’s what you need to know:

🛑 Wait until plant heights average 6 to 8 inches. Waiting allows plants to recover from winter, produce leaves necessary for regrowth, and reach lower nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) levels.

🌾 Slowly ease horses onto pastures in 15-minute daily increments.

⏰ Begin with 15 minutes of grazing on the first day, 30 minutes the second day, and continue adding 15 minutes per day until you reach 5 hours. After that, unrestricted grazing can occur if adequate forage is available. Slow transitions in diet provide time for the horses' microbes to adjust, which reduces the chance of laminitis and colic.

🍽️ To further support a slow transition, feed hay prior to pasture turnout to discourage horses from overconsumption early on.

I am super bummed to have to do this but after running the numbers and with gas prices on the rise, I will be enacting a (hopefully) temporary fuel surcharge effective immediately.

The fee will be 10% of your current trip charge. Please send me a message if you have any questions about what that may look like for you.
I appreciate your understanding.

And cross your fingers than we can drop this ASAP and don’t need to increase it in the future.

🚨💸 BREAKING NEWS 💸🚨

After years of research, late nights, and questionable life choices…
Mallo Equine is PROUD to announce our newest release:

📚 “How To Train Your Horse To Do Your Taxes” AVAILABLE NOW!

Because if anyone is already draining your bank account… it might as well be them filing it too 🐴💀

Inside you’ll learn:
📊 How to get your horse to step on a calculator (accuracy not guaranteed)
🧾 Receipt organization techniques (sorted into: eaten / slobbered on / gone forever)
💸 Advanced tax strategies like:
• Claiming your farrier as emotional support
• Writing off “just one more supplement” (we all know it’s 12)
• Depreciating your sanity over time

✨ BONUS CHAPTER:
“How to explain to your accountant why your horse signed the return with a hoof print”

⚠️ Side effects may include:
• Your horse auditing YOU
• Sudden increase in “necessary” tack purchases
• Being judged aggressively while holding your credit card

And remember…
If your horse says it’s a deductible… it probably isn’t.
But are you going to argue with them? Absolutely not.

Happy April Fool’s Day from Mallo Equine 😎🐴
Where the patients run the practice… and now apparently your finances too.

After crunching some numbers, I’m excited to share that that at least for this first quarter of 2026 , I will be able to keep most of my prices the same. I know funds are tight for everyone right now.

That being said, the main spot you will see small increases is drug costs as the companies have increased their prices. So to offset that some, I’m offering 2025 prices on vaccines through the end of February.

📱
Call/text ASAP to grab a spot on my schedule to save a few bucks and get it out of the way early!

🚨
Reminder that in order to have emergency coverage through me, you need to have done preventative care (teeth and/or vaccines) with me for each horse you own in the past 12 months.
