Great Lakes Equine Haul In 2025
Join us at Great Lakes Equine for our annual Haul In serving horse owners from across Hortonville.
Save the Opossums: Our Misunderstood Heroes
While some horse owners keep opossums away due to a link to EPM, the risk is quite low. Opossums can actually be quite beneficial as they consume very large quantities of ticks, which can help lower the potential for many tick-related equine diseases.
Inside the Horse: A Gut Check
Occasionally, a horse may experience a condition related to the digestive system (which includes the gastrointestinal tract) known as impaction. When this happens, the impaction needs to be cleared. Due to the sheer size of this system, however, that is often easier said than done.
Symptoms of Equine Influenza & How It's Treated
Equine influenza, or "horse flu," is a highly contagious upper respiratory disease that can cause serious secondary infections in our equine friends, especially in foals. Here, our Hortonville vets explain the symptoms to watch for and how equine influenza is treated.
