My last client of the season — and a perfect example of why proactive care matters.
This horse struggled with significant skin irritation throughout the summer, to the point where being touched — and riding — was not possible due to discomfort. Rather than waiting for spring, when many horses experience flare-ups, the owner chose to be proactive and begin supportive care now.
Starting treatment in the off-season allows the body time to calm inflammation, support skin healing, and prepare ahead of known trigger periods. Preventative care often leads to improved comfort and better long-term outcomes.
This is what thoughtful, proactive horsemanship looks like — and it sets the horse up for a healthier, more comfortable season ahead.
