Mental health affects all of us. 1 in 5 people will be affected by mental illness in their lifetime, yet many people still struggle to find support that works for them.

Horses can be part of the solution.

With their sensitivity, presence, and nonjudgmental nature, horses can create opportunities for connection, regulation, and growth, sometimes reaching people in ways words alone cannot. Through professionally guided programs, they can provide real-time feedback and help people build trust, self-awareness, and hope.

This , we’re highlighting the powerful role horses can play in mental health and the meaningful connections that can help people feel seen, supported, and less alone.

The Food and Drug Administration has issued warning letters to Neogen Corporation and Sciarra Aeromed Inc. after its investigation found multiple fungi in Neogen Vet HYCOAT, a veterinary wound care product labeled as sterile.

Neogen voluntarily recalled the product in January. The FDA is urging veterinarians and horse owners to report adverse events and product quality concerns.

GSWEC Screwworm UPDATE!

🚨 Attention clients! If you have horses shipping from Texas, please contact your veterinarian or our office to set up an arrival exam within 24 hours of arrival. 

New World Screwworm is a highly destructive parasitic fly whose larvae (maggots) will feed on living flesh. It’s a reportable, infectious disease that was found in Texas earlier this year. 

In response, the Commonwealth of Kentucky Veterinary Office has implemented a provision requiring all horses to be examined 72 hours before leaving Texas and to have an entrance exam within 24 hours of arriving in Kentucky.

This will remain in effect through 12/31/26 and could be extended as the situation evolves. The first equine case was reported last week.
