🎉 Happy retirement, Vicki! 🎉

After 18 years with the WVVS family, Vicki is leaving us to enjoy retirement. We will greatly miss her smiling face, commitment to helping clients and pets, and inventory management skills. We wish her the best of luck in retirement as she spends her newly free time on her hobby farm.

As Vicki retires, we have an opening for a full- or part-time receptionist. Email your resume to [email protected] if interested!

Stay cool!

☀️🐴 Hot & Humid Weather: Know the Limits for Your Horse 🐴☀️

Horses can acclimate to hot, humid conditions — but there’s a limit to what they can safely handle.

💡 Air temperature (F) + relative humidity (%) directly affects your horse’s ability to cool down. Before exercising your horse, consider these guidelines:

✅ Less than 130 – Horses cool effectively.
⚠️ 130 to 150 – Cooling ability is reduced. Use caution.
🚫 Over 150 – Cooling is greatly reduced.
❗ Over 180 – Conditions may be fatal if your horse is stressed.

📍Example: 92°F + 69% humidity = 161 — this is a high-risk zone.

These numbers are a helpful guide, but always consider your horse’s unique condition and needs too.
