Bar Bar A Horsedrinker Buck Strayhorn

Buck Strayhorn and the Bar Bar A Horsedrinker 

Bar Bar A HorsedrinkerHave you heard of the Bar Bar A Horsedrinker?  While it’s been a wet winter here, it’s been a terribly cold winter in many parts of the country.  Yes, we’ve had to deal with muddy stalls, but we haven’t had to deal with frozen water pipes or icy water troughs.  In rambling through the world wide web, I came across the Bar Bar A Horsedrinker and it got me to thinking how good we have it most of the time here in California.  

The Bar Bar A Horsedrinker has a cool design that allows livestock to drink, then drains the water away.  The result is cooler water in the blazing hot summer months and no frozen tanks or water lines and warmer water in the winter months.  As the rest of the country starts to thaw out, I thought you might want to check this out.  I contacted the makers of the Bar Bar A Horsedrinker, who then connected me with Buck Strayhorn, horsemen, trainer, and spokesman for the company.  Buck was kind enough to talk with me from his home in Northern Utah.

Equine Dentistry

Equine DentistryEquine Dentistry with Dr. Tolley

As part of a recent client education series Dr. John Tolley of Bakersfield large Animal Veterinary Hospital gave a talk on equine dentistry.  There was a slide presentation by the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) that went along with the talk.  While the slides did enhance the talk, the information on equine dentistry is still valuable as stand alone audio.  One thing I’ve learned over the years is that we pick up information a little at a time.  There is a lot of info contained in this talk to enhance your knowledge of what is going on in your horse’s mouth.  The basics are covered.  Equine dentistry can be confusing, but Dr. Tolley offers very clear explanations of teeth growth, problems, and preventive measures.  Dr. Tolley also describes signs you can look for to know if your horse is in need of equine dentistry.

Horse Emergencies Preparation

Horse Emergencies Preparation


horse emergenciesDo you know what to do with the wide range of horse emergencies?  We know that if you own a horse there are going to be horse emergencies.  How do you clean a wound?  What is the proper way to take your horse’s heart rate?  What should every equine first aid kit contain?  These are the type of questions you need the answers to handle all sorts of horse emergencies.

Our local veterinary hospital, Bakersfield Large Animal Hospital, occasionally holds client seminars.  We were invited to the most recent one held at a banquet room here locally.  The topic was handling horse emergencies and the guest speaker was Dr. Jeff Hall, DVM.  Dr. Hall works for Zoetis Pharmaceutical, a veterinary medical supply company.  In his systematic approach, Dr. Hall offers some great advice when you are faced with an emergency situation.  Dr. Hall also tells us about a new product we should consider including in our horse emergencies kit.  Dormosadan® gel is a mild sedative that can be very useful to remove tension from many emergency situations.

We hope you find these educational podcasts informative and valuable.   I would really love hearing your feedback.
