AHC: Horse Industry Should Take Notice of New Congress
"Issues important to the horse industry will be on the table," noted Jay Hickey, president of the American Horse Council (AHC), which represents the horse industry in Washington. "Comprehensive immigration reform, internet wagering, tax reform, animal welfare, trails legislation, equine health, and the farm bill are important to the equine community. Overriding all debate, however, is how existing programs can be paid for and whether new programs can be initiated in a Congress that will be focused on reducing spending and the size of government."

Conquer Equine Fungus in the Winter Months
It's too cold and wet to bathe with a medicated shampoo or to rinse every day with some sort of iodine/betadine concoction, but if you don't take care of it now, the problem will just get worse and worse over the course of the winter and you'll be faced with a more significant problem come spring.

Equine Photographers Document Horses in Need
The quest of most photographers is to capture beauty in their images. Typically equine beauty is portrayed in color, conditioning, tone, strength, movement, and in their connection with humans. In this assignment, that beauty was not always visible upon the first glance. They found beauty in places most people would avoid looking. Whether it was hardship of their humans, neglect, abuse, greed or in some cases human mental illness, each animal had a story. These are stories born of sorrow, however many of these horses now have hope due to kind intervention. Continue reading

Three Steps to Treating "Sweet Itch"
A common problem experienced in all parts of the country (heck, for all I know, all parts of the world!) is a condition commonly referred to as ‘sweet itch’. Other names include ‘summer sores’, midline dermatitis, etc. It’s more than just an allergic reaction with subsequent itching; it involves a number of different aspects, so let’s break it down. Small gnats of the Culicoides family are attracted to the midline of the horse’s chest and abdomen where the hair is either very thin or non-existent, just down the very middle of that part of the horse’s anatomy. It’s also the... Continue reading

Scratches: To Wrap or Not to Wrap
I had previously brought up the question: to wrap or not to wrap, in particular when dealing with ‘scratches’ or mud fever. Many of the treatments used in the past consisted of sticky, waxy products based on a zinc oxide or Desitin® type ointment or something with lanolin or other non-soluble bases. The thought was that if you gooped enough stuff on the affected area, it would ‘protect’ it from more moisture, dirt, etc. Well, this just attracted MORE dust and dirt and grime…..everything in the horse’s environment seems to stick to that type of product. So, it made sense... Continue reading

Equine Parasite Migration
by Eric Witherspoon, DVM Imagine your horse has replaced Tom Hanks in the starring role of that cute movie of several years ago about an e-mail relationship. (I know, I know, I’m asking you to stretch your imagination a bit more than normal.) Instead of hearing that ubiquitous, and in my humble opinion, obnoxious, voice intoning, “You’ve got mail”, your horse would instead hear, “You’ve got worms!” Not exactly a dinner table or cocktail party conversation topic, but nonetheless, quite important for all horse owners. Over the years, we’ve all been bombarded, by veterinarians, store owners, and drug companies with... Continue reading

More about Why PH is Important to You and Your Horse
by Eric Witherspoon, DVM You walk into your favorite store at which to buy shampoo and conditioners for yourself and you’re immediately confronted with a vast array of products, most of them proclaiming to be pH-balanced. What’s a consumer to do? What if you don’t even have the faintest idea what ‘pH’ means? What if you’re harming your hair, your skin, your neighborhood, your child’s chances of getting into any Ivy League college, the earth if you use the wrong pH product? What’s a consumer to do?? And then, just when you think you can ignore the problem and it... Continue reading
