Let’s Talk Horse Vaccinations

June 11, 2019 by John Leave a Comment

Let’s Talk Horse vaccinationsVaccinations

What vaccinations do you give your horse?  How often do you give them?  What happens if your horse has a reaction to one of his vaccinations?  These are questions I put to our listeners. As part of the dialogue we, got to hear from people in many parts of the United States.  Some folks prefer giving their horses the 5 and 6-way combination shots.  Some people spread the vaccinations over two weeks, lessening the chance or strain of a reaction.

A Source of Good Information about Vaccinations

However you add it up, your horse needs help from some nasty diseases out there.  There is a lot of good information on the website of The American Association of Equine Practitioners.  While there is no standard protocol for a vaccination schedule that fits every horse, the Association recommends a set of core vaccinations for most horses.  Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis, Rabies, Tetanus, and West Nile Virus fall into this core category.

Then there are the Risk-based vaccines.   Use these vaccines if your horse has a risk to exposure (not all horses do).  These include rabies, equine influenza, leptospirosis, strangles  and a few others.  Check out the information on their website to see which shots work best for your horses.

Join Us on this Journey

We want you to be a part of the show.  Tell us about your horse.  Share your challenges, triumphs, or just everyday items that make horse ownership unique.  Create an audio file using the memo app on your phone.  Or, contact me and we’ll set up a time to talk by Skype or phone.  Perhaps what you have to share can help someone in THEIR horse journey.

You are a big part of why we do this podcast.  We really love getting your feedback.  Please let us know your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions for the show.  Email us at John@WhoaPodcast.com

Basic Veterinary Needs of Your Horse

June 27, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

Basic Veterinary Needs of Your Horse

Basic VeterinaryWe talk to Dr. John Tolley of Bakersfield Veterinary Hospital – Large Animal Division.  Dr. Tolley covers the basic veterinary needs of your horse.  As a horse owner, you know horses can be expensive.  If you know what to expect, you may be able to prevent unnecessary costs.  In this episode, Dr. Tolley covers vaccination protocols, worming protocols, feed and nutrition and a whole host of topics about horse-keeping.   If you own a horse you will want to listen to this episode.  We get down to brass tacks in some areas talking about prices for pre-purchase exams and lab tests.

If you are thinking about getting a horse, learning about basic veterinary needs of your horse will eliminate surprises.  Learning your options about feed, worming and dental programs can ensure you enjoy your horse for a long time.

Our EXCA Experience

Basic veterinaryWe also recap our experience we chronicled in a previous podcast about Extreme Cowboy Racing.  For being our first year competing, we made an improvement over the course of the season, we had a lot of fun competing, and we met a lot of great people.

Ranae finish 2nd in the State Final competition with Dusty.  She learned a lot about her horse and how to negotiate the various obstacles.

Scratch and I had a unique final experience that I talk about in the show.  Scratch ended up 2nd in the State standings.

Are You Prepared for an Emergency?

May 16, 2017 by John Leave a Comment

Are You Prepared for an Emergency?

emergency preparednessDo you know what your horse’s normal temperature is supposed to be?  How about his heart rate or respiration?  Do you know how to take your horse’s pulse?

In an emergency, this information can help your vet assess the situation much more quickly and save valuable time in getting your horse treatment.  This week we present a rebroadcast of a 2015 seminar we attended about emergency treatment.  We discovered there are many wives tales out there about how to dress a wound, what to do when you suspect colic or founder.  Dr. Jeff Hall of the Zoetis Corporation presents a comprehensive overview of how to handle many situations.

The seminar, sponsored by Bakersfield Large Animal Veterinary Hospital,  was recorded in a banquet room – sorry for the background noise – but we think the information is important enough to warrant airing this show.

Whoa Podcast Changes for the Summer

July 7, 2015 by John Leave a Comment

Making some changes for the summer

changes for the summer

Scratch

Producing a weekly show as a one man project is a big task.  I’ve done it for over 100 episodes now.  Recently, I acquired a horse to train for the summer.  Instead of chasing guests, setting up interviews, editing, posting, and other marketing chores, there are changes for the summer.

I invite you along to follow my training progress of Scratch, a gelding from the Oak Creek Wild Horse herd.  I have Scratch until October.  We are competing in the Vaquero Heritage Trainers Challenge.  You might remember the shows I produced from last year’s event (listen to them Here and Here).  Scratch was in the wild on June 13th.  I picked him up the 14th.  It’s my goal to have him broke and gentled so anyone can ride him anywhere.  This is the first horse I’ve started.  I’ll be using much of the techniques I learned watching my Downunder Horsemanship DVD’s.  While I’m not sure how Scratch and I will fair – there are a lot of great trainers in the competition – it won’t be from lack of effort.

Horse Health at BVHCaring for a horse for 4 months is costly.  I’ve received some sponsor-ships and I could use a couple more.  Bakersfield Veterinary Hospital is going to perform a dental exam on Scratch and give him his vaccinations.  Downunder Horsemanship has donated a halter and lead rope for my training progress.  It’s great to get there help.

With all this going on it was necessary to make changes for the summer.  There will be fewer guests on the show.  I may not be able to produce a show every week.  I hope you understand.  Training Scratch is a great opportunity to learn more about my horsemanship and I intend to maximize the experience.

Follow along my progress with Scratch at Oakcreekhorse.blogspot.com

Equine Dentistry

June 21, 2015 by John 2 Comments

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.
