Use your Quarantine Wisely
Tuesdays with TonyI have heard from many of my cat brethren that their humans are still around ALL. THE. TIME. I told them this won’t be forever, and they should try their best to be patient and understanding. These are not cats' finest qualities, so please know we...
Wound Management
Tuesdays with TonyIf you have been following the Springhill Equine Facebook page, and I know you have, you have probably seen the post about a couple of horses who took the opportunity this weekend to injure themselves. For some reason I think horses are feeling a...
What Your Horse Does All Day
Tuesdays with TonyWhat Your Horse Does All Day I’ve heard from the cat version of the dark web that some of you are suddenly home way, way too much during the day. I hear some virus is responsible. Let me tell you, the cats aren’t happy about it, and we’d like things...

Horses and CoronaVirus
Tuesdays with Tony Some of my more woke readers may have read about a horse with coronavirus this week in Arizona, as reported by Equine Disease Communications Center (EDCC). If you don’t know what EDCC is, I highly recommend checking out equinediseasecc.org for a...
Equine Acupuncture
Tuesdays with Tony By now, I’m sure you all know that Dr. Abbott has recently been down in Ocala at the Chi Institute learning all about Equine Acupuncture so that we can better serve you and your horses, and so she can make this old cat feel like a spring chicken...
