This week our Daughter Gwen, home for the summer, and I take Texas (20) and Louie (22) to see Dr Catalino at The Equine Clinic at Okencroft a 2 hour haul from ‪@Hunt-N-HollarRanch‬. Now that the boys have both hit their 20's we decided to take them for sports physical lameness exams to see how they are aging and ensure they are fit for another competitive season. We had already retired Louie to a pasture buddy and trail mount after his last sports physical exam a few years ago but thought we'd give him another look over and opinion. Texas is still running with Kelsi and I so we wanted to be sure he's also doing well and do what we can to help keep him fit and feeling good.
Louie is 100% retired to pasture buddy and trail mount with the additional diagnosis of arthritis in his knees as well as his hocks we knew about. We will continue to enjoy and love him the rest of his life. He's not aging as well and would be a money pit per Dr C, we appreciate her honesty!!
We went in thinking Texas would need attention to his SI joint from an old injury but he was diagnosed with arthritis in his hocks rather. That's something we could make more comfortable with steroid injections. Good news to us as I have made sure he doesn't re injure his back again. Texas is already feeling like a new man!
THANK YOU SO MUCH DR CATALINO AND STAFF AT THE EQUINE CLINIC AT OKENCROFT!!! Everyone was wonderful and knowledgeable and the facility is beautiful!!
