Fancy is getting all the special treatment. Thank you to my friend Joe who came over and did a mini class for me on different hoof packing, poultice wrapping, liniment application and techniques. He even makes his own special liniment recipe. He is so knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning from someone with many many years of experience at the track and show ring. I’ll definitely be adding these tips to my emergency equine first aid classes. 🙂

12 Tips for Horse Tail Grooming - Seriously Equestrian

12 Tips for Horse Tail Grooming - Seriously Equestrian There is nothing like a horse with a beautifully clean and brushed tail. Here are our top tips on how you can keep your horse’s tail looking tip-top.

Ideal Feed Frequency for Horses – The Horse

Ideal Feed Frequency for Horses – The Horse How often should you feed your horses each day? Our nutrition expert weighs in with advice.

What is White Line Disease?

The white line is the junction between the hoof wall and the sole on the bottom of the horse's hoof. White Line Disease is a widening of the white line, or a separation of the hoof wall from the sole. This separation is then invaded by bacteria and fungi, leading to infection that progresses up towards the coronary band which produces a white or gray powdery material. It is usually first noticed by the farrier during a routine trimming because only severe cases actually cause lameness.

What can be done about it?
Because mechanical factors such as poor hoof conformation and various hoof imbalances (long toes, underrun heels, club foot) as well as primary hoof problems like laminitis are thought to lead to the initial separation, treatment begins with correcting the primary cause. If a large section of hoof wall has been separated from the inner tissue the detached wall may need to be removed. Any infection should be treated and frequent trimming used to make sure new hoof wall grows correctly. A hoof supplement containing biotin and methionine may be helpful to ensure healthy new growth.

What else do I need to know?
Once thought to be due to a wet or dirty environment, hygiene is now being questioned as a cause of White Line Disease. Not only can any age, breed and gender of horse develop this hoof condition, a horse can have it in only one hoof or more while a farm can have it in only one horse or more. This shows that it has more to do with the individual horse and hoof than with the living conditions.

Medical-Grade Honey Helps Horse Wounds Heal – The Horse

Medical-Grade Honey Helps Horse Wounds Heal – The Horse Researchers recently learned that medical-grade honey appears to facilitate significantly improved healing rates in naturally sustained wounds.

Scars #2
Another post/picture to bring awareness about the scar tissue. Some scars are not visible on the surface, but they can be discovered by careful palpation.
I have put together some pictures of Gray Mare, with individual layers of the neck muscles, showing signs of fibrous tissue of different degree, located in an area, that is common site of IM injection ( I cannot comment about this scarring on our Gray Mare, as we had not any detailed info regarding im injections in her past).
In my experience, scars in the neck region can greatly affect horse's movement and biomechanics of the whole body.
As you can see on the picture there are neighbouring muscles of different location (meaning a layer) and function "linked together" by a scar tissue.

Please note, it is impossible to answer your comments and questions regarding individual cases (and it would be very unprofessional if I would try to do that), so please take this post as an information, rather than discussion. Thank you.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE A WEIGHT TAPE? ⚖️

Knowing the weight of your horse is important for several reasons: this information is instrumental in developing an appropriate feeding program, calculating dosages for dewormers and antibiotics, and tracking the health of your horse in general.

Using a weigh scale is the most accurate way to determine a horse's weight. If you don't have access to a scale, however, you can still estimate your horse's weight by using a weight tape to measure the animal's heart girth. This practice is inexpensive and easy and, while it is not an exact science, it has been used for many decades.

HOW TO PROPERLY USE A WEIGHT TAPE: place the tape immediately behind the withers, where the very last hairs of the mane emerge, and immediately behind the elbow. Consistent placement and consistent pressure are key to getting the best results.

Please note that, despite their shortcomings, weight tapes are very useful in monitoring change. A weight tape may say that your horse is 1,000 lbs when he is actually 1,100 lbs, but if your animal gains 50 lbs the tape is very likely to reflect that change accurately.

Thank you Dr. Alison Cornwall for providing this useful information through the AAEP's "Ask the Vet" forum. Want to learn more? Visit https://aaep.org/horse-owners/ask-the-vet to read this month's questions and answers.
