Greetings! Spring is just around the corner! If you listen closely you can hear the bird’s songs getting louder every morning and it’s music to our ears! We’re hoping that the heavy, early season snowfall means that we “paid up front”. We have been keeping a close eye on the weather and see a couple 40° days forecasted here in February. The sun is shining and the snow banks are shrinking.

All of these good things mean that we are that much closer to getting out and enjoying time with our horses. Please look through all of the appointment options and decide which best suits your schedule. We love working with you to get as many patients cared for as possible. Some options we have to help you are discounted farm calls with the Routine Care Days, discounted coggins testing and vaccinations with no office fee during our Coggins Clinics, or hauling to our clinic for your service (the haul in/office fee is significantly less than a farm call). We have more appointment availability at the clinic which has stocks, heat, and is out of the elements. Please call as soon as you can to book your appointments because they fill up quickly.

NEW THIS YEAR, we are offering a northern Coggins Clinic! Double F Arena has graciously offered to host at their facility. With that you would also have an opportunity to take advantage of open riding in their arena after your veterinary visit! The cost is $20 horse/rider combo and $5/additional horse payable directly to Double F. Open riding will go until 5pm.

Make sure to read the fantastic articles inside this edition… —Strangles has been becoming more and more of an issue in this area over the last two years. There is some really good information on what it is, looks like, and treatment. — NEW—Also inside, a new treatment with regenerative medicine called Pro-Stride APS and Restigen PRP. Check out this amazing process and see if it may be beneficial to your horse. We look forward to getting out to see you and your horse(s) this spring and summer and getting them ready to hit the trails and/or arenas!
