🐴 Hoof Abscess or Laminitis? Knowing the difference matters!

A hoof abscess often causes:
• Sudden severe lameness
• Heat in ONE hoof
• Strong digital pulse
• Relief once the abscess drains

Laminitis may cause:
• Pain in BOTH front feet
• Reluctance to move
• Rocking back onto hind legs
• Increased heat and pulse in multiple feet

🚑 Both conditions are painful and should be taken seriously. When in doubt, call your veterinarian or farrier promptly.

🐴Early intervention can make a huge difference!

We’re hosting a small group Equi-First Aid Training at Kenshō Stables on May 30th, 10am–4pm.

A full day covering the practical skills every horse owner should have — wound care, vital signs, recognizing colic, emergency response, and knowing when to call your veterinarian.

The kind of knowledge you hope you never need — but will be so glad you have.

We offer a fantastic Disaster Planning and Emergency Preparedness full day course that covers fire, storms, flooding and anything mother nature throws at you. You can walk through all the steps to make you own plan. Invite your neighbors and farm friends (anyone who owns or cares for any livestock, including farm sitters) and host a course at your facility. Building community and sharing resources is step #1 for successful emergency preparedness. It’s the best education investment we hope you never have to use.

Happy Monday! With summer rolling in, we need to stay on top of our horse’s nutrition- that includes electrolytes! ☀️

As temperatures rise, your horse sweats more—and with that sweat, they lose important electrolytes that help keep their body functioning properly.

💧 Why Electrolytes Matter:
• Help maintain hydration
• Support muscle function
• Prevent fatigue and weakness
• Aid in nerve function
• Help horses recover faster after work, travel, or heat stress

⚠️ Signs Your Horse May Need Extra Support:
• Heavy sweating
• Lethargy or low energy
• Decreased appetite
• Muscle cramping
• Slower recovery after exercise
• Reduced water intake

✅ Summer Electrolyte Tips:
• Always provide fresh, clean water
• Offer free-choice salt when appropriate
• Use electrolytes during heavy work, travel, or extreme heat
• Monitor your horse closely during hot weather
• Don’t wait until dehydration becomes an emergency!

Keeping your horse hydrated and balanced can make all the difference during these hot summer months! ☀️💦
