What we recommend this fall:

West Nile Virus (WNV) & Encephalitis (EEE) Vaccination: Due to the high number of positive mosquito pools locally and positive eee cases this year, we highly recommend EWT/West Nile boosters for all horses this year. Ideally the booster should be given 4-6 months after your spring ewt/wn vaccine appointment. If your horse has not been vaccinated yet this year, please contact us ASAP to get an appointment! 

Equine Herpesvirus (EHV) Vaccination: We highly recommend Flu/Rhino boosters for horses at all boarding facilities, horses that are exposed to new horses (frequently and infrequently), and horses that are still showing and traveling. 

Fall Fecal Testing: We also recommend testing fecals in October and November for your horse. You are welcome to drop samples off at the office (please call first), or give them to Kendyl at your fall vaccine appointments. When collecting samples: 1) we need FRESH samples, 2) we only need 2ish fecal balls, and 3) place samples in a zip-lock bag with your name and horse name on the bag. 

Microchips: Need a microchip to meet the USEF microchip requirements for all hunter/jumper, jumper, and equitation divisions at USEF recognized shows? We have them in stock!

​If you are not sure what your animals are due for, feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you!

Our refrigerator is full of vaccines, the horses are covered in mud-cicles, we are covered in horse hair, and the calendar page has turned to March - SPRING is almost here! 

It’s time to schedule your spring vaccine appointments! If you have showing or traveling deadlines be sure to contact us ASAP so we don't run into any scheduling conflicts. 

If you have already set up your spring appointments - thank you!
