Back by popular demand is our annual staff door decorating contest. While we have fewer staff this year and less clients coming in the office we still wanted to carry on the tradition of having our clients do the voting. We had a few rules this year and staff had to use supplies that were in the office and had a $5 spending limit for outside supplies. (Thank you MWI Animal Health for suppling us with the paper packaging materials.....lol.) This year voting will be done on Facebook. The door with the most likes will win the title of Best Decorated Door. You have until December 30th to cast your votes for the best door. The winner will be announced on Decemer 31st.

When sourcing hay for the winter, choose hay that’s fine-stemmed, green, leafy, and soft. The fresher, the better. For more tips about creating a winter diet for your horse, give us a call.

If you missed spring PPID testing and your horse is showing signs of PPID, like delayed hair coat shedding, you can test in the fall. Give us a call to schedule your fall PPID test today.

As the weather cools, internal parasites become active again. When considering deworming, make sure to perform a fecal egg count and develop a parasite control program with us first.

Barn fans collect a lot of dust and debris during summer which can turn into a serious fire hazard. Be sure to monitor barn fan usage and keep a consistent cleaning schedule to ensure your horse stays safe.

Even if you don’t manage your own barn, reevaluating your own fire safety plan every summer is a must. Having an up-to-date plan in place will give you peace of mind during warm, dry months.
