🐴 Horse Show Season Reminder 🐴

Planning to head to a horse show this season?

It’s best to check with the specific horse show to ensure you comply with their biosecurity protocols.

You may require:

✅ Valid Equine Influenza & EHV vaccinations
• Given within the last 6 months
• NOT administered within 7 days of arrival at the showgrounds

✅ A negative Coggins test
• Drawn within the last 6 months

If your horse is due for vaccines or a Coggins test, give our clinic a call to get booked in before your next event! 🐎

We’re excited to share that Dr. MacLeod will be returning to the clinic on May 19th! 🐴💙

After her time on maternity leave, she’s looking forward to being back and caring for your horses.

If you would like to get on her schedule, please give our office a call. ☎️

Wishing all our amazing clients, friends, horse moms, and hardworking broodmares a beautiful Mother’s Day filled with love, appreciation, healthy foals, and maybe a little extra barn time. 💕🌷🐴

Vitamin E is essential for keeping your horse feeling and performing at their best. As a powerful antioxidant, it plays a key role in supporting muscle health, protecting nerve function, and strengthening the immune system.

Horses with limited access to fresh pasture, especially those in training, aging, or recovering may not get enough natural vitamin E from their diet. That’s where supplementation can make a real difference.

✨ Benefits of Vitamin E for Horses:
• Supports healthy muscle function
• Aids in nerve health and coordination
• Helps reduce oxidative stress
• Boosts immune system performance

Always consult with your veterinarian or equine nutritionist to determine the right balance for your horse’s needs. ☎️

In case you were wondering what Salsa has been up to…

This week, she lent a helping paw while we ran a Serum Amyloid A (SAA) test! These tests measure protein and serve as a sensitive marker for inflammation, infection, or tissue injury.

Salsa is always eager to help wherever she can! 🐾

🐴 Horse Deworming Reminder 🐴

Keep your horses healthy, happy, and performing their best!

🪱 Why Deworm?
Parasites can affect your horse’s digestion, weight, coat condition, and overall health.

📅 When to Deworm:
• Follow a strategic deworming schedule
• Perform f***l egg counts for targeted treatment
• Adjust timing based on season and exposure

💊 Deworming Tips:
✔ Rotate dewormers when appropriate
✔ Dose accurately based on your horse’s weight
✔ Clean pastures regularly to reduce parasite load
✔ Avoid over-deworming—consult your vet for a plan

Healthy Horse = Happy Horse

🐾💛 Salsa Update!

A few weeks ago, we shared that Salsa had started her journey as a therapy cat in training. We’re so happy to say she’s been back out visiting again! She is absolutely loving her time with people and continues to show just how special she is.

In this photo, she’s pictured with our favourite Dr. Crosby, one of her biggest fans!

We couldn’t be more proud of her. 🐾💛

🌿🐴 Show Season is Almost Here! 🐴🌿

With show and travel season right around the corner, now is the time to make sure your horse is protected and ready to go!

💉 Vaccinations are a key element to keeping your horse healthy and competition-ready.

🚨Reminder vaccines should be administered at least 7 days prior to travel and/or an event.

✔️ Protect your horse
✔️ Protect others at events
✔️ Travel with confidence

☎️ Give us a call to book your horse’s spring vaccines.

Happy Easter from all of us at TD! 🐴

🐾💛 As most of you know, our beloved team member Salsa.

While she is already TD’s very own therapy cat, she has been training to go out into the community and brighten the lives of others. Raymond was honoured to meet Salsa on her very first outing!

Whether it is curling up beside someone who is feeling unwell or simply brightening someone’s day with her gentle presence, Salsa has a natural gift for connection. We are so proud of her calm, affectionate nature and cannot wait for her to continue making a difference in the lives of those whom need it the most, one purr at a time.

Stay tuned to follow along with Salsa’s journey! 💛🐾
