It is absolutely critical that your horse be vaccinated against several highly infectious and deadly diseases.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Infectious Diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n Infections need to be addressed and can sometimes be fatal. External infections are the most common and can often be treated with over the counter products. Internal infections are much more dangerous and must be treated aggressively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Castrations<\/strong><\/p>\n Castrating\u00a0your horse is an important decision that horse owners must consider. Historically, gelding has been performed to quiet horses, making them more trainable and less aggressive. There are many famous Geldings:<\/p>\n * Funny Cide – 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Winner PEVS provides a safe and cost conscious castration surgery.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Parasite Control<\/strong><\/p>\n Parasite control is not as straight forward as one would imagine.\u00a0 This is the precise reason you have many different “opinions” as to what the appropriate parasite control method should be. Reaching a balance between parasite load, anthelmintic resistance, and general knowledge is our goal. There is no way to completely eliminate parasites from your horse, but we can help you manage a program which will ensure a long healthy life for your animal and\/or herd.<\/p>\n
