|Raise the Roof Benefit for Harrlinsdale Park |
|[pic] |
|Friends of Franklin Parks put on an incredible event to help Harlinsdale Farm. The food vendors provided wonderful food and we had |
|live music by Diamond Hitch. The event also had an art show and sale where local artists and JGP Artist Group displayed and sold their|
|art. The donations all went to help support the park to fix the roof on the old barn as well as the Hayes Home and surrounding |
|structures. We want to thank everyone that attended and made donations to this project. The farm is an amazing park and is a |
|historical farm in the history of the Tennessee Walking Horse. The Park at Harlinsdale Farm is open to the community and has walking |
|trails, a pond for catch and release, and an enclosed dog park. If you are able to go and check out the park it is beautiful and truly|
|a beautiful facility. Thank you again to the sponsors and the donations that were made. |

|Merck Adult Horse: Performance to Pleasure: Caring For The Adult Horse |
| |
|We were lucky to have RFD TV film a Live Broadcast here at the clinic, which included three panelists. Dr. Monty McInturff, Dr. |
|Joe Manning, and Dr. Katie Young talked about things that can help you care for your adult horse, such as vaccinations, types of |
|feeding programs, lameness exams, and general wellness care. We had two case studies: A Western performance horse, Quick, and a |
|pleasure/family horse, Stitch. Some of our studio audience members participated in the live show by asking questions that the panel |
|of doctors answered. The show was a success and the TEH team enjoyed being apart of the live broadcast. It was aired on RFD August 6, |
|but you can click on the link to view the show. Hope everyone gets a chance to watch it. Thank you again to RFD TV, Merck Animal |

|Athletic Horse Performance Check Question |
| |
|Here are some questions that Dr. Monty McInturff would like you to ask yourself about how your horse is performing and competing. |
| |
|Is my horse competing at the level I feel that he/she is capable of? |
|Am I doing things to prevent wear and tear on his/her joints? |
|Are his/her feet holding up to the work load? |
|Is the weight of my horse adequate for maximum competition? |
|Is my horse comfortable with his/her mouth during work? |
| |
|If you answered Yes to all of these questions, great job and we are sure you are competing at a high level and most of all having |
|fun!! |
| |
|If you answered No to any of these questions, please give us a call so that we can turn your No into a Yes!! |

|A note from our surgeon: Dr. Liberty Getman |
| |
|Windpuffs Are a Warning Sign |
| |
| Windpuffs refer to soft, fluidy out pouchings on a horse's leg located at the back of the ankle behind the cannon bone, |
|below the splint bone, and in front of the suspensory ligament. These out pouchings are actually part of the fetlock joint itself, and|
|the soft swelling you can see & feel is an accumulation of joint fluid. In some horses this can be an incidental finding that is not |
|associated with lameness. However, in many cases it can mean that there is inflammation within the joint. This can be caused by many |
|things, such as arthritis, chip fractures, OCD lesions, or damage to the cartilage or the soft tissue structures inside of the joint. |
| A small amount of fluid accumulation here may be normal for your horse, especially if this is not a new finding or if there |
|is similar swelling in other limbs. However, if this is a recent occurrence or if there is more swelling in one leg than in the |
|others, or if the swelling is very obvious, then a veterinarian should examine your horse to make sure this isn't a sign of a problem |
|within the joint. Typically your vet can get an idea of whether or not this is a problem by doing a thorough physical exam, watching |
|the horse jog to determine if it is lame, and flexing the joint to see if this elicits a painful response. If a problem is suspected |
|then we will usually recommend radiographs and possibly an ultrasound exam to determine what is causing the inflammation in the joint.|
| If a problem is identified, treatment options may be surgical or medical depending on the underlying cause of the |
|inflammation. Arthroscopic surgery can be performed in order to remove OCD lesions or chip fractures. Medical therapy usually consists|
|of joint injections for arthritis, cartilage damage or soft tissue damage. The joint may be injected with traditional treatments such |
|as steroids and hyaluronic acid; however, some of the newer regenerative medicine therapies such as IRAP or platelet rich plasma (PRP)|
|have been extremely beneficial in treating horses with these problems in recent years and have become routine therapy at our hospital |
|for these types of cases. |

|Wellness Information and Knowledge: by Dr. Nathaniel Wright |
| |
|At Tennessee Equine Hospital we like to teach everyone about the types of wellness routines that help keep your horse healthy. Some |
|of the routines include parasite control, dentistry work as well as vaccinations. An annual wellness exam is an excellent way to |
|ensure that each of your horses is kept in peak condition. Below you will find the services we offer and the reasons each service is |
|important to the overall health of your horses. During this evaluation your veterinarian will perform a routine physical exam, check |
|his feet and legs, examine the skin and eyes for any new lumps or bumps, evaluate his body condition (overweight or underweight?), and|
|provide the appropriate vaccinations, parasite control, joint care, and nutritional management that will keep your horses healthy, |
|happy, and productive. |
| |
|Vaccinations- Each individual horse has unique needs; therefore we offer an individualized preventative healthcare program for every |
|horse. The veterinarians at Tennessee Equine Hospital have selected the following five annual vaccinations as the centerpiece of our |
|immunization program. These diseases are preventable with proper vaccination and are often fatal if an unvaccinated horse contracts |
|them. For these reasons we recommend that all horses be vaccinated to prevent: |
|-Eastern Encephalitis |
|-Western Encephalitis |
|-Tetanus Toxoid |
|-West Nile Virus |
|-Rabies |
| |
|Does your horse show or trail ride? For horses that travel or are boarded and will be near other horses we recommend vaccinations to |
|help prevent three highly contagious respiratory diseases: |
| |
|-Rhinopneumonitis (Equine Herpes Virus Type 1 & 4) Your vet may offer specific advice for your situation, but the Rhino vaccine should|
|be given every 90 days for maximum protection. |
|-Flu (Equine Influenza Virus) Typically give every 90-120 days along with Rhino. |
|-Strangles (Strep. Equi) Annual vaccination |
| |
|Depending on the unique circumstances surrounding your horses, your veterinarian may also recommend some of the following vaccinations|
|to prevent some less commonly encountered diseases: |
|-Botulism |
|-Potomac Horse Fever |
|-Salmonella |
| |
|We have also developed very specific immunization protocols for foals near weaning age and for broodmares in foal and would be glad to|
|tailor a program if you have these types of needs. You will be reassured to know we work tirelessly to provide the most modern and |
|effective vaccine products to protect your horses from the dangers lurking in the air and on the ground. |
| |
|Parasite Control - For years "parasite control" has simply meant giving a horse a tube of the cheapest de-wormer at the feed store |
|every couple of months, but times are changing. With the emergence of resistant strains of parasites in the equine population it has |
|become very important to create customized strategies for parasite management on farms depending on the pasture conditions, the number|
|of horses per acre, and the age and medical history of the horses. Our veterinarians use information from periodic fecal exams, along |
|with our knowledge of equine husbandry to make specific parasite control plans and then provide the highest quality de-wormers |
|delivered to your barn and administered at a great value. |
| |
|Dental Care- Your horse's mouth and teeth comprise one of the most important portions of his digestive tract and are areas that are |
|often overlooked. A routine exam of the mouth (with a speculum) and all of the teeth during the annual wellness exam is a valuable |
|tool in gathering information that will help you maintain your horse's proper body condition and digestive health. Although it may |
|seem expensive at first glance, proper dental care often makes horses more efficient digesters of forages and grains helping to lower |
|feed bills throughout the year. |
