Knowing your horse’s weight isn’t just about numbers—it’s about tracking trends over time! A weight tape is a simple yet powerful tool to monitor changes in body condition, ensuring your horse stays at a healthy weight for performance, nutrition, and overall well-being.
Watch as Dr. Sturtevant demonstrates the correct way to use a weight tape—and don’t forget to check your horse regularly!
📊 Pro tip: Trends matter more than a single number! Stay consistent and track results.

Yesterday, we shared the before and after of Yoshi’s hoof injury and recovery—today, we’re bringing you the healing journey from the first cast to the healing progress 20 months later.
➡️ See the process:
✔️ Initial casting to stabilize the hoof
✔️ Follow-up photos showing slow but steady progress
✔️ Second casting to support new growth
✔️ Final result—20 months later
In the last photo, you’ll see a visible crack in the growth pattern—a clear sign of how long hoof injuries take to grow out fully. The good news? Yoshi is completely healed, with no lasting hoof issues or pain.
Hoof healing isn’t fast, but with veterinary care and patience, the results speak for themselves.

Hoof injuries are a nightmare. They can be debilitating, frustratingly slow to heal, and in severe cases, even life-threatening. When Yoshi suffered a traumatic hoof wall injury, mama Kim knew that it was bad. Really bad.
Injuries like this can lead to infection, hoof wall separation, chronic lameness, and permanent damage. With the hoof's poor blood supply, healing is notoriously difficult but not impossible, and this injury didn't just heal—it healed beautifully.
Tomorrow, we'll share a video documenting the months of treatment by Dr. Devereux, from the first moments on the farm to the remarkable transformation you see here.
As Kim puts it, this recovery is thanks to "Dr. Devereux's magic." We don't know about magic, but expert veterinary care, patience, and dedication by Kim and Dr. Devereux made this possible. Stay tuned to see the full journey.

Both poison hemlock (Conium maculatum) and water hemlock (Cicuta spp.) are extremely toxic, but water hemlock is deadlier. While a horse would need to consume 4-5 pounds of poison hemlock for a lethal dose, just 8 ounces of water hemlock can be fatal. 💀
⚠️ Key Differences:
🍃 Water Hemlock – Has large, serrated leaves, is highly toxic year-round (especially the roots), and can cause violent convulsions.
🌿 Poison Hemlock – Has fern-like leaves, toxicity increases over time, and mainly affects the central nervous system.
🚨 Safety Tip: Check pastures for these plants, especially in moist areas, and remove them before horses can graze. Prevention is key! 🐴
