This clip shows what proper treatment for a foot injury can do over time. When a horse’s feet are managed correctly, you’ll see healthier growth, improved movement, and fewer recurring issues.

Dr. Paul Loe works with owners to correct problems at the source, not just manage symptoms, so horses can stay comfortable and perform at their best.

Healthy horse. Healthy foundation.

Five stars, earned the right way.

Charlene’s words say it best. Trust built over time. Skilled hands when it matters most. And care that shows up consistently, not just when something goes wrong.

This is the kind of feedback that comes from real relationships and real results. We’re grateful for clients who trust us with their horses year after year.

Myth: “If performance hasn’t declined, everything is fine.”

Texas horses are tough. Sometimes too tough.

Dr. Paul Loe looks for small changes long before performance drops. Shorter stride. Longer warm-up times. Subtle attitude shifts. Slower recovery. These are signals, not personality quirks.

By the time performance declines, the issue has usually been present for quite a while. Early attention keeps small problems from becoming costly ones.

Myth: “A vet is a vet.”

Searches like “best equine vet in North Texas” or “elite farrier Texas” exist for a reason.

Consistency matters. Dr. Loe believes care improves when professionals know your horses, your land, and how your program operates. Rotating providers often means starting from scratch every visit and losing valuable history along the way.

History matters more than availability. Long-term care relationships catch subtle changes sooner and protect horses more effectively over time.

Myth: “We’ll just call if something happens.”

Search trends tell a clear story. Emergency service searches spike every year during the warm months across Texas. Preventive care searches do not.

Dr. Paul Loe sees the difference firsthand. Emergency care is sometimes unavoidable, but it is reactive, disruptive, and expensive. Preventative care is quieter, more predictable, and far easier on both the horse and the owner.

The best emergencies are the ones that never happen. Firewater Equine works with ranch owners to plan ahead rather than scramble later.

Myth: “Light-use horses don’t need regularly scheduled services.”

Many ranch horses around Weatherford are not hauled every weekend. That does not make them low-maintenance.

Large pastures, uneven terrain, herd movement, age, and North Texas weather still place consistent stress on bones, joints, and feet. Horses often adapt quietly, masking discomfort until compensation becomes a problem.

Less riding does not always mean less wear. In many cases, it means wear goes unnoticed longer.

Routine care matters, even when riding is occasional, because soundness is shaped by the daily environment, not just workload.

Today, we are beginning a new series: Texas Ranch Myths That Cost Owners Money.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be addressing common beliefs that quietly cost horses and ranch owners far more than they realize.

Myth: “Premium facilities mean premium care.”

North Texas ranches are known for beautiful barns, solid fencing, and thoughtfully designed setups. Facilities absolutely matter. But a facility alone does not guarantee premium horse care.

At Firewater Equine, Dr. Paul Loe sees this often. Horses living in first-class environments still develop preventable issues when movement, balance, and baseline changes are not consistently evaluated.

True care is not built into concrete and steel. It is built through routine evaluation by professionals who understand what normal looks like for each individual horse.

If your horses live in a first-class setup, their care should reflect that same level of intention. Firewater Equine focuses on the horse, not just the barn.

A well-built farrier rig is not about looks. It is about readiness.

When tools, power, and materials are organized and close at hand, there is no rushing and no cutting corners. That focus matters when precision work is being done on a young horse.

Here, Dr. Paul Loe shapes a hoof cast for a c**t with everything he needs, right where it should be.

Prepared professionals deliver better outcomes. Every time.

After a mare foals, her body is adjusting fast, and her feet feel it first.

Shifting weight, nutrient demand, less movement, and new routines can quietly change hoof balance and quality in just a few weeks. Cracks, thrush, tenderness, and subtle imbalance are not uncommon, especially if trims get delayed or nutrition is stretched thin.

This is where proactive care matters. Regular farrier work, clean footing, and a watchful eye during the post-foaling window help keep small issues from turning into long-term soundness problems.

At Firewater Equine, we take a whole animal approach to veterinary care.
