Let’s talk back soreness—and what we can do to help. 🐴

Back soreness can stem from a number of factors, including saddle fit, workload, hoof balance, compensatory movement, muscle tension, and conditioning. That’s why it’s important to look beyond where your horse is sore and consider why.

One treatment option that can provide relief for some horses is mesotherapy. Using a series of small, shallow injections, mesotherapy can help modulate pain signals, reduce muscle spasm, and improve comfort with movement as part of a broader treatment and rehabilitation plan.

A better ride starts with a better warm-up. 🐴

A thoughtful warm-up does more than get your horse moving. It gives the muscles, tendons, joints, heart, and respiratory system time to transition from rest to work.

Start relaxed, build gradually, and remember that every horse is different. Your warm-up should reflect your horse, their workload, and what you’re asking of them that day.

Don’t rush the warm-up, it’s an important part of the workout.

What is Dr. Fultz looking for during a neurologic exam? We're so glad you asked! 🧠🐴

From backing and tight circles to tail pulls and walking with the head elevated, these exercises challenge a horse’s balance, coordination, strength, sensation, and awareness of limb placement—helping Dr. Fultz identify subtle abnormalities that may not be apparent during normal movement.

Performance horse maintenance isn’t one-size-fits-all. 🐴💉

Just because a treatment was part of your horse’s program last season doesn’t automatically mean it’s what they need today. Workload, fitness, history, current performance, and response to previous treatments should all be considered when developing a maintenance plan.

Evaluate first. Treat with purpose. We will work with you to determine what your horse actually needs to feel and perform their best.

Florida “winter” can feel a lot different when you’ve just arrived from a colder climate. ☀️🌴🐴

Give your horse time to acclimate to the warmer temperatures and humidity as you settle into the winter season. Pay close attention to hydration, sweating, workload, and how quickly they recover after exercise—small changes can tell you a lot about how they’re adjusting.

Don’t rush the transition. Give their body time to catch up with the change in climate.

Do you know your horse’s normal? 🌡️🐴

Taking your horse’s temperature regularly gives you a valuable baseline—and can help you recognize when something may be changing before other signs become obvious.

It’s especially important to monitor temperature before and after shipping, during showing, and anytime your horse just doesn’t seem quite right.

Make taking a temperature part of your regular health routine. Knowing what’s normal for your horse can make a difference when it matters most.

Florida bound? 🌴🐴 Make sure you’re ready before you hit the road!

A successful trip South starts well before the trailer leaves the farm. From health certificates, paperwork and medications to emergency contacts and a travel plan, taking care of the details ahead of time can make the difference.

Save this checklist for packing day and contact Paddock Equine ahead of your trip with any health or paperwork concerns.

Safe travels South- we will see you soon! 🚛💚

Florida bound? Hydration starts before you hit the road. 💧🐴

Long-distance travel can make maintaining your horse’s normal drinking habits more challenging, so start thinking about hydration before, during, and after the trip south.

For horses that are reluctant to drink while traveling, we love Chug® from Equine Elixirs as an option to help encourage water consumption along the way.

Plan ahead, offer fresh water regularly, and keep an eye on how much your horse is actually drinking. A well-hydrated horse is a better-prepared traveler.

Busy getting your horse's baseline before WEF ✅🐴🩺

Before the busy season gets underway, schedule a soundness appointment to establish a baseline — Identifying small changes can help avoid a problem!

Reviewing your horse’s overall health, soundness, and diet before the season provides valuable information to reference throughout the winter and can help identify subtle changes before they become bigger concerns.

Be proactive now so you can focus on the show ring later. Contact Paddock Equine to schedule your horse’s pre-season soundness exam.
