Good info!!

Recently we have all been experiencing the effects of the smoke from Canadian wildfires. With record-setting poor air quality in Minnesota, horse owners have been asking us if they should be concerned about their horse’s health.

The effects of smoke on horses are similar to effects on humans, with primary concerns being about respiratory illness. If your horse already has been diagnosed with heaves (recurrent airway obstruction), poor air quality can aggravate that condition.

There are several things you can do to help reduce the impact that smoke or air pollution has on your horse’s health. Be sure to provide plenty of water close to where your horse eats. Horses drink most of their water within 2 hours of eating hay, so having water close to the feeder increases water consumption. Water keeps the airways moist and facilitates clearance of inhaled particulate matter.

We would recommend that you limit exercise when the air quality index is high/smoke is visible. Limit dust exposure by feeding dust-free hay. Make sure your horse is housed in a well-ventilated and shaded area, whether inside or outside. If your horse is coughing or having difficulty breathing, please call our office at 763-441-3797 to schedule an examination with one of our veterinarians. If your horse has a history of heaves, there is a greater rick of secondary problems such as bacterial pneumonia.

“I kept my horse”

We rode many miles, won many shows, and we spent hundreds of hours side by side.
Now you’re old, you’re retired, and you’re my old man.

I kept my horse when he went lame- every damn time.

I kept my horse when I fell off - it wasn’t his fault anyways.

I kept my horse when I thought it shouldn’t be this hard- I didn’t know that’s how I would learn.

I kept my horse when he told me he couldn’t be ridden anymore - because I know compassion.

I kept my horse when I moved away for college and struggled with time- because he’s family.

I kept my horse when I was broke- because sometimes times are tough.

I kept my horse when he couldn’t jump high and run fast because I could see that he still would try if If I asked but he shouldn’t.

I kept my horse when I bought a new one- 3 actually, because he’s irreplaceable.

I kept my horse when I wished I had room for one that was sound- because I owe it to him.

I kept my horse when he was costing me more money to feed then any of my riding horses, because money isn’t everything.

When his legs had enough- and all he could bare to carry was his own weight, I still kept my horse.
When his career as a riding horse was over- I knew I had to keep my horse.

No one owes this horse a retirement except for me, and shame on anyone who selfishly convinces themselves otherwise. I owe him so much more for what he has done for me, but I plan to try and make it up to him when he has nothing more to offer me.

Because that’s how it should be be ❤️
