Yesterday, Dr. Brittany met with one of our clients, Cotaliya, to do a podcast on equine spinal manipulation and acupuncture!!

Dr. Brittany addressed commonly asked questions about integrative medicine and explained what happens during an examination and treatment.

🌟 The Power of a Team Behind Every Visit 🌟

At First Equine, you may see one doctor standing in front of you during an appointment—but behind that one doctor is an entire team dedicated to your horse’s health.

Our veterinarians lean on each other every single day, sharing their experience, discussing challenging cases, reviewing labs and images, and combining their unique perspectives to deliver the highest level of care. When your horse becomes our patient, they don’t just get one set of eyes—they get the collective knowledge of our entire practice.

We hold in‑house doctor rounds twice a month to stay current with the latest advancements in equine medicine and review techniques. We wrap up each day by talking through interesting cases, new findings, and lessons learned. This constant communication keeps us sharp, collaborative, and ready to tackle even the most complex situations. Our visiting vet students also join in to enhance their learning experience.

Every doctor on our team brings something special to the table, and together we’re stronger, smarter, and better equipped to support your horse’s wellbeing.

Your horse deserves a team—and at First Equine, that’s exactly what you get. 🐴💙

All horses should have a Coggins test done annually and it’s a lab we draw blood for almost daily. It’s common knowledge that Coggins results expire after a year.

When does your horse’s Coggins result expire??

a) the date lab receives test

Friday’s with the Firsts

Did you know sand can be one of the biggest risk factors of colic in our region?? Some horses have even had to go to surgery to clear large sand impactions.

This is why we recommend a monthly psyllium purge. Sand is heavy and settles in the ventral colon where build ups can occur. Psyllium binds to sand allowing it to be excreted.

We have been able to diagnose sand accumulation in certain patients with our X-ray machine! Check out this image of a recent patient who was diagnosed with sand (bright white areas).
