Is your horse slow to shed out? Have they had bouts of laminitis? Maybe they’re lacking top line? If you’ve been wondering if your horse has PPID or we’ve recommended testing them, this post is for you!

September is often known amongst the equine community for the start of the free Boehringer Ingelheim ACTH testing program. This year, Boehringer has discontinued the owner testing program and given us limited numbers of free testing for our clients.

🌟 In lieu of this change, Epona Equine is offering clients 10% off the cost of an ACTH test plus free courier shipping to the lab for the month of September! Mileage & blood collection fees still apply 🌟

Please reach out to us via phone, email or messenger to inquire and get your horse scheduled!

Do you have an emergency preparedness plan in place in case of a disaster? If not, it’s time to start planning!

The AAEP shared some helpful tips for horse owners in the event they need to evacuate during an emergency situation.

Our biggest tip for owners is to ensure you either have a trailer or access to a trailer should you need to move your horse. If your horse isn’t well versed in loading on a trailer, now is the best time to start practicing so that in an emergency, you aren’t panicking that they won’t load.

Stay safe out there friends!

Thank you to all the amazing farriers we work with!!! 🐴

It’s ! Let’s take a moment to celebrate and thank our farriers!

Proper foot care is the cornerstone of maintaining a sound horse, and a good farrier is an essential part of your equine's healthcare team, keeping your horse’s feet balanced and well-supported. Farriers and veterinarians often work together for the best interests of the horse, so a skilled farrier is both a necessity and a tremendous asset. Be sure to let your farriers know they are appreciated!
