Tuesdays with Tony – Doctors Tack Trunk
With all the rainy weather we've been having, I had plenty of time to sit around the clinic and pick the brains of Dr. Vurgason & Dr. Lacher. I had to get the scoop, the D-L, the 4-1-1, the Inside Story, on what our doctors keep in their own tack trunks. Now...
Tuesdays with Tony – The Olympic Edition
So with all this athletic horse research I’ve been doing lately, it was inevitable that I would have to check out the Olympic team horses. I have to say they have a pretty good gig. If it weren’t for all the fitness stuff, I would try out. I look good in red,...
Tuesdays with Tony – White Line Disease
Tuesdays with Tony - White Line Disease It seems there has been an awful lot of something called White Line around here lately. I decided if there was going to be a bunch of it, I was going to learn about it. As it happens, we had one of these horses come in to the...
Tuesdays with Tony – Joint Love
Tuesdays with Tony - Joint Injections This week I’m going to continue my foray into the athletic world. I figure once I’m on a roll, I may as well continue. This athletic thing is a fascinating topic I knew nothing about. Sleeping: now there’s a topic I am an...

Tuesdays with Tony – When Pigs Fly
When Pigs Fly I thought I had seen just about everything in my 9 lives. While I didn't actually spot any pigs flying on Saturday, I did see several swimming in Kiddie Pools, walking on leashes, and eating watermelon during our first annual Piggy Ice Cream Social! It...
Tuesdays with Tony – These Boots Were Made For Trotting
While clicking through the internet over this long holiday weekend I came upon this picture of yours truly: It got me thinking about boots. I make these boots look darn good. This got myself, Teannie, and our weekend guest, a charming horse name Goose, talking about...
Tuesdays with Tony – Fitness!
Continuing on my athlete theme from last week….Let’s talk fitness! I will admit to having to research this Tuesday’s edition. This cat is not in to fitness, working out, sweating, or any activity which threatens to burn more calories than I consume. You people seem...
Tuesdays with Tony – Teamwork!
This weekend I learned why I am best suited to my supervisory role here at the clinic. I monitored while Dr. Lacher worked closely with a farrier to determine the best treatment for a horse with a bunch of issues in her feet. I marveled at the way in which they...
