⚠️How many of y'all have ever seen the damage black widow spider bites can do to a horse?⚠️

☠️ Kiara sustained black widow bites in the summer of '23, & they are still causing issues 2 years after the fact.

🩺 I have an excellent team of veterinarians I'm working with to address these bites; Dr. Colton & Dr. Valerie with PEVS & EPIC, & most recently Dr. Alessandra with Ozone VetCare.

🏥 We've been passively treating them thus far because open wounds + FL summer + flies = major problems with healing.

💨 Dr. Ale has begun teaching me about integrating ozone gas treatments into Kiara's regimen. I'm excited to see how the next two weeks of treatment go & am hopeful for positive changes regarding these bites.

📚 After this current round of treatment, I'll be re-evaluating with Dr. Colton, & will consider a more aggressive treatment plan later this fall after the brunt of fly season has concluded.

🫶 Keep an eye out for more info regarding these bites & comment below if you have any questions!

🐎 Benefits of Proprioception Exercises for Horses 🐎

- Improved Joint Stability
• Helps strengthen their stabilizing muscles.
• Supports ligaments & tendons, reducing the risk of injury or re-injury.
- Enhanced Body Awareness
• Helps re-establish the pathways that tell them where their feet & limbs are in space.
• Improves coordination, balance, & responsiveness under saddle or in-hand.
• Reduces clumsiness & tripping.
- Improved Performance & Movement Efficiency
• Improves stride accuracy, balance, & rhythm.
• Leads to more controlled gaits & smoother transitions.
• Supports collection & self-carriage.
- Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation
• Retrains neuromuscular pathways after injury.
• Builds protective strength & control during recovery.
• Improves load distribution, reducing compensatory strain.
- Core & Postural Strength
• Engages the horse’s core muscles.
• Improves spinal alignment & posture.
• Reduces undue stress on the back, which supports both horse & rider.
- Confidence & Mental Engagement
• Exercises (like poles or balance pads) stimulate the brain.
• Horses become more confident navigating new environments.
• Reduces anxiety, helps focus, & strengthens horse-human trust.
- Longevity & Soundness
• Keeps horses mobile & safer from falls.
• Supports soundness & comfort in horses with degenerative joint conditions.

- Examples of Equine proprioception exercises:
• Pole Work (raised or ground poles, fan layouts, varied spacing).
• Cavaletti at walk/trot for stride awareness.
• Balance pads for improving stabilization & re-establishing proprioception.
• Backing up in-hand for core & proprioceptive activation.
• Uneven terrain (walking over hills, gravel, sand, shallow water).
• Gentle body rock exercises to stimulate balance reflexes.

*Just like with any modality or exercise, there are contraindications for certain conditions. This is why it's so important to consult with your bodyworker & veterinarian to make sure your horse is a good candidate for any exercises that you are wanting to add to your horse's regimen.*

🧡 A little proprioceptive training goes a long way toward a sound, confident, and happy horse.

I spy Kiara & Haven👀🩷 Monthly acupuncture appt.s at EPIC have made a huge difference in helping my crew through the heat!

🌡114° Heat Index. 97% Humidity. No Breeze.
🚨 These are fatal conditions for horses and humans alike. These extreme heat days come with no clouds, no breeze, no afternoon rain, no relief. It's imperative to take extra measures to ensure your horse's well-being through these heat waves.
•
🚨 Even horses who've handled summers in the past can crash under the right (or wrong) set of circumstances.
•
💡 If your horse struggles with the heat, finding out why is essential.
Some common but often overlooked causes:
⚠️ Gaps in basic support; hydration, electrolytes, shade, airflow, fresh cool water.
⚠️ Underlying systemic conditions (cushing's, metabolic issues, damaged nervous system).
⚠️ Toxic burden from environmental toxins and heavy metals.
•
😥 I've seen it firsthand: Two of my mares were poisoned by environmental toxins, and it damaged their ability to thermoregulate. My mini has cushing's and metabolic issues, same outcome --> heat intolerance.
•
🐴 Supporting your horse in the heat isn't one size fits all.
It takes an individual approach based on your horse's history, workload, age, and environment. Any supplementation and extra modalities should be discussed with your vet prior to beginning them to ensure your horse is a good candidate.
•
💡 The slides in this post offer ideas and discussion points to take to your vet so you can build a heat management plan that fits your horse's unique needs.
•
✅️ Be proactive.
✅️ Pay attention to the signs.
✅️ Don't wait until it's too late.
•
🌿 Your horse's life depends on it.
