Dental season is picking up, and it’s a great reminder of how much a simple float can improve a horse’s comfort, attitude, and overall performance. Sharp points and uneven wear can creep up quietly, but a routine dental check goes a long way toward keeping them happy and working their best 🐎

Dr. Abby has been especially excited for this round of dentals because she finally gets to use her new Tera Float. She’s been looking forward to putting it to work, and the horses seem to be enjoying the extra‑smooth results just as much.

📆 If your horse hasn’t had a dental in a while, or if you’ve noticed changes in chewing, behavior, or contact under saddle, this is a great time to get them checked.

Dr. Abby and the whole team are ready to help your horse have a great season ahead 🦷

🎉 Happy 5-Year Anniversary, Kaitlynn! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating an incredible milestone for someone who truly helps keep everything running smoothly. Kaitlynn has been with us for 5 years, and in that time she has become an absolute rock star technician and an essential part of our team.

Her dedication to our patients, support for our veterinarians, and the care she shows to every horse (and clients!) never goes unnoticed. Kaitlynn’s hard work, positive attitude, and willingness to jump in wherever needed make a huge difference every single day.

Of course, no celebration of Kaitlynn would be complete without mentioning her many “fancy” coffee runs and ice cream pit stops that have lead to a team challenge ☕🍦 And we can’t forget her dog Jackson, who is the clinic celebrity and the light of everyone’s life🐶

We are so grateful to have Kaitlynn on our team and lucky to work alongside her. Thank you for everything you do — here’s to many more years ahead! 🐴❤️

Please help us congratulate Kaitlynn on her 5-year anniversary! 👏

IT'S MUD SEASON! 🌧️ DO YOU KNOW WHAT CAUSES A HOOF ABSCESS?

The scenario is all too familiar for many horse owners: yesterday your horse was sound, but today you find him three-legged lame, with no apparent injury. What could have happened? Well, you say, my horse is likely working on a foot abscess. But what does that actually mean?

Although most commonly seen during the wet winter and spring months, hoof abscesses can plague horses year-round and usually occur when debris and bacteria enter the foot through hoof cracks and wounds, even horseshoeing holes. The bacteria then get trapped between the sensitive laminae (the tissue layer that bonds the hoof capsule to the coffin bone) and the hoof wall or sole and create pus; the pus builds up over the course of time and puts pressure behind the hoof wall or sole, until it causes the sudden onset of acute lameness when the pain finally becomes too great.

The diagram below shows a simplified view of the equine hoof to help you visualize the structures involved in this process.

Hoof abscesses can mimic other more serious diseases or injuries, so involving your veterinarian early on in the diagnosis and prompt treatment of this condition is always a good idea. Some abscesses will be uncomplicated and rupture on their own like a large pimple at the coronary band or heel bulbs; other abscesses, however, could require radiographs and will need to be surgically drained.
