Considering our geriatric population, we are fortunate to not experience the more common causes of colic such as gas or impaction.  Unfortunately, what we do see is colic from strangulating lipomas.  This accounts for 36% of the need for euthanasia at Mitchell Farm.  The following link is a really great description from madbarn.com​​​

Our great thanks to the BRENNAN EQUINE WELFARE FUND of the GREATER CINCINNATI FOUNDATION for a grant, funding in part, the Mitchell Farm 2024NO HOOF, NO HORSE FARRIER FUND!

 The hoof is the all-important foundation that the horse stands. Hooves absorb the concussive impact with every step of their 1000 plus lb frame.  Taking good care of the hooves goes a long way to good health and quality of life.
