Marchadors by Laura Hinson

When people first see Netuno, they give him a second look, then ask what breed he is. I know exactly how this is going to go. I routinely say, “he is a Mangalarga Marchador.” And routinely they say, “A what?” I then proceed to tell them what I am about to tell you here. Netuno is one of a few hundred Mangalarga Marchadors, the National horse of Brazil, who reside in the United States. How cool is it that a country has a national horse? He has his own Facebook page too. (Netuno Lapidade, a Mangalarga Marchador) And he was imported from Brazil by 4 Seasons Marchadores in Montana. (www.4seasonsmarchadores.com)

I had been looking for another gaited horse for a long time. When I discovered this breed, I was completely enamored by them. The Marchador is very versatile. As with many Spanish breeds they are good cattle horses. They are known for setting the Guinness Book of World Records endurance ride of 8,694 miles in 1994. A perfect trail horse, they could also excel in other disciplines that require agility, stamina, speed and a sound mind.Training of this breed is facilitated by its intelligence, and uses for the breed are unlimited. This breed is extremely docile and is commonly ridden by children. I bought Netuno to compete in Trail Trials.

The Marchadores possess their own smooth, distinct gaits which include the “picada” with the feet moving laterally and separately and has moments of triple support. The “batida” is characterized when the horse places the feet diagonally and with moments of triple support. These movements are unlike other gaited breeds including Missouri Foxtrotters and Paso Finos. The footfall pattern for the batida is 4:3:2:3:4:3:2:3. Marchadores can also possess three clear gaits including normal walk, trot, smooth rocking horse lope and fast, open gallop.

Netuno has been exactly what is described in all the books about the breed. No kidding. Quiet, easy, friendly, spirited, trainable, brave, willing, smart, not spooky, a lovely gait, and I could just go on and on. While they are still rare here, the word is getting out. The association can be found at http://www.namarchador.org. All the US breeders and importers can be found there. Enjoy discovering a breed you most likely did not know about. And know that one of them lives here... in Carmel Valley.

SCEC to Open Saturdays!Steinbeck is excited to offer Saturday appointments starting in November! While SCEC has always been open for emergencies on weekends, as of November 10th, 2012, we will also be opening on Saturdays 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Both ambulatory and hospital services will be available. We hope that by offering additional time on Saturdays for appointments we can better meet the needs of your busy schedule. We also now have an emergency doctor available Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m - 5:30 p.m. To make it even better, we will not be charging an emergency fee during normal daytime business hours.

Nick and Laramie Return to SCEC!!! Steinbeck is thrilled to welcome back two very talented veterinarians, Dr Nick

Carlson and Dr Laramie Winfield. Dr Carlson completed a one year internship at Steinbeck (and was asked to stay for an additional year) and has spent the last three years working as an ambulatory practitioner at Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center. Dr Carlson’s interests include advanced equine dentistry and surgery. He will be completing a three year surgery residency at Steinbeck and is very excited to be back in the Monterey Peninsula. Dr Laramie Winfield also completed a one year internship at Steinbeck and has been at UC Davis for the last three years completing a large animal internal medicine residency. Her interests include equine neurology and neonatal care. Dr Winfield will be working as an associate at Steinbeck focusing on internal medicine. As some of you may remember, the couple was married locally in 2009. *See our Fall 2009 Newsletter for wedding photos.

We are delighted to have them back on our team. They are always willing to jump in and help, or rush out on emergencies, consistently demonstrating their deep care for the well-being of their patients.

Local Olympic ContestantOne of SCEC’s clients, Tiana Coudray, competed with her horse Ringwood Magister on the U.S. eventing team in this summer’s Olympics in London. Tiana began eventing in 2003, and was the U.S. Eventing Association’s Young Rider of the Year in ‘05, ‘07, and ‘09. Ringwood Magister aka Finian is an Irish Sport Horse. Tiana started competing with him back in 2008. Tiana and Finian have been training in England this last year. Last fall they earned a second place in dressage at the Fidelity Blenheim Horse Trials and earlier in the summer they finished 5th at the Barbury Castle Horse Trials.

Authorized Emergency Agent/ContactMany of us wouldn’t leave town without leaving a signed medical release for our children. In case of emergency, we diligently appoint an individual to make emergency medical decisions. When horses are left with caretakers, their feeding regimes, supplement administration, turnout protocols, blanketing protocols and grooming regimes are covered. However, it is commonplace to leave town without designating someone to make emergency medical decisions for our horses. However, things don’t always go as planned. When a horse gets a serious injury or suffers from a significant colic, it is frequently a struggle for horse owners to decide which course of action to follow. Imagine the difficulty of having to make that decision for someone else’s animal!

When you leave town give your caretaker some guidelines on what extent you would be willing to go to for each of your horses. Alternatively, you can call the clinic and have the office put a note in your horse’s record regarding the financial limit or degree of heroics you would like us to adhere to in your absence. Thanks and have a safe trip!

Monterey Horse Park Kicks Up Some Dust

by Connie Quinlan

The trail to the Monterey Horse Park has been long and dry, now progressive activity is making dust clouds! With the expert help of Monterey Downs, the Environmental Impact Report is in the works. This involved and expensive report incorporates three projects: Monterey Downs, Monterey Horse Park and the Veterans Cemetery. The EIR is due to the City of Seaside this December, a public comment period will follow the submission of the EIR, and then the Seaside City Council will vote on the report. The EIR is a major step in the approval process.During the public comment period, and the subsequent Council vote, it is vital to have a strong show of support from our local equestrian community. The presence of pro-Horse Park supporters during the public comment period will go a long way in convincing council members that these are worthwhile projects. Additionally, Monterey Horse Park is actively collecting names of project supporters, which will be used to verify community support. This survey asks three separate questions: 1. Do you support Monterey Horse Park?; 2. Do you support Monterey Downs?; 3. Do you support the Veterans Cemetery? Please take a few moments to answer to 3 questions and email your response to mailto:cquinlan@montereyhorsepark.org By responding to this survey, you will not be added to any mailing list. If you would like to be notified, via email, of community meetings or of the progress of Monterey Horse Park, note that in your response. If “snail” mail is preferred, include that contact information.

Joint Injection Reminders

by Dr. Tim Eastman

For years we have sent reminder cards about your horses routine health care, vaccinations etc. Suzanne Thomas, a client in Carmel Valley, had what I thought was a great idea. Her horses receive soundness examinations and joint injections at fairly regular intervals. She called and asked if she could have the times for her horses joint injections sent out as reminder cards. This proved to be easy and could be applicable to other areas, ie regular bloodwork, soundness checks, etc. So, if your horse has something done on a regular basis you would like a reminder of, just call the office and you will receive a card in the mail prior to when the work needs to be done.

West Nile Virus Update

by Dr. Laramie Winfield

West Nile Virus is a mosquito transmitted disease that first came to the United States in 1999. West Nile Virus is on the rise with 92 human cases, and 20 horses infected in the state of California already this year. You can protect your horse from West Nile infection with a vaccination, which we recommend on an annual basis. Horses that are not vaccinated or incompletely vaccinated (horses that have not received a yearly booster or adequate primary series) are at a much higher risk for contracting infection. Additional precautions that will help prevent West Nile Disease include mosquito control measures such as management of standing water.

Rabies, a viral disease transmitted via the saliva of infected animals and is easily preventable with adequate vaccination. Rabies is fatal in animals and can be spread from animals to humans, creating public health concerns. Rabies vaccines are protective as long as they are kept current and given properly.

Vaccination against Rabies and West Nile Virus are both part of the list of core vaccines recommended by the American Association of Equine Practitioners. If your horse has not been vaccinated for West Nile or Rabies or is not current on their vaccines please make an appointment today.

Twenty Confirmed Equine WNV Cases in California

2012 Equine West Nile Virus (WNV) Update: Twenty Confirmed Equine WNV CasesOn September 25, 2012 the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Animal Health Branch confirmed two additional cases of West Nile Virus (WNV); a 16 year old unvaccinated horse from Yuba county and a two year old unvaccinated horse in Shasta county. Both horses were euthanized.

For 2012, a total of twenty horses have been confirmed positive for WNV. The positive horses are located in the following twelve counties Butte, Calaveras, Fresno (3), Glenn, Kern(2), Merced, Sacramento(2), San Joaquin (2), Shasta (4), Stanislaus, Yolo and Yuba counties. Seven of the positive horses have been euthanized.

CDFA continually monitors and investigates equine neurologic cases for the presence of WNV in California. CDFA urges horse owners to consult their veterinarian concerning a WNV vaccination program to ensure maximum protection of their horses.

Pergolide/Prascend by Chris Ryan,DVM

Equine Cushing’s disease, or Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID), is a common disease in older horses. The symptoms of this condition can include a shaggy hair coat, lethargy, pot-bellied appearance, decreased immune function, and increased risk of laminitis. The best treatment available for these horses is careful management and a daily dose of an oral medicine called Pergolide mesylate. When Pergolide mesylate was withdrawn from the human market in 2007, it left veterinarians and owners reaching for compounded Pergolide made at local pharmacies to fill the void. Unfortunately, studies have shown that this compounded Pergolide does not meet Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines for stability and potency over time. However, late last year the FDA approved “Prascend”, a new formulation of Pergolide mesylate specifically for the treatment of PPID. It comes in a tablet containing 1 milligram of Pergolide and can easily be broken in half if necessary for each patient’s dosing regimen. Steinbeck Country Equine Clinic will be carrying and prescribing Prascend for the treatment of our Cushing’s patients and we hope that the improved stability and consistency of this new product will enable some horses to be managed with a smaller dose than previously possible.

Talented DaughterCharlie Tobias DVM and his wife Lisa have even more reason to be proud of their daughter Grace. This year she was not only Miss San Benito Rodeo, but was the first runner up for Miss California Rodeo. The largest category of criteria (40%) in the competition is horsemanship which includes equitation, dismount, re-mount, reining pattern and queen’s run. Grace participated in the Salinas Grand Entry and did her fly-bys (Queen’s Run) on her mare Mocha.

New Client Waiting Room & Andrea Johnson’s Art

For a long time Drs. Tim and Alex Eastman wanted to remodel the SCEC waiting room to make it more comfortable for our clients. This spring Dr. Alex tackled the project with the help of her brother-in-law, Brian Riddell of Riddell Construction. With faith in her vision (which included tearing out a support wall) Alex quelled the worries of unsettled office staff and helped with every step, for example, packing and unpacking the office to make it easier for her employees. The result has been an uplifting opening of space in the waiting room, better flow, more light, comfort, and the added warmth of a cozy fireplace. Snacks and bottled waters are also provided. (The whole clinic was also freshly repainted.)

We have some lovely art hanging in the new waiting room. Andrea Johnson’s relationship with Corral De Tierra, Steinbeck’s “Pastures of Heaven” has been the focus of her paintings for the past ten years. Although she moved to the Monterey Peninsula 22 years ago, it took a while for the hills with the bulls and cows that roam them to become her focus.

The morning or early evening light as it touches the hills and crosses over the monumental forms of the bulls that wander by her studio have been a constant source of inspiration. She carries her camera with her everywhere and has a huge inventory of landscape and animal photographs from which she then forms her compositions. Andrea’s paintings are hanging in the newly remodeled entry of Steinbeck Equine clinic where her son-in-law, Dr. Nick Carlson, and daughter, Dr. Laramie Winfield, are both employed.

One of Andrea’s paintings depicts a calf owned by Sabrina and Arthur Miller which was delivered via C-Section by Dr. Chris Ryan. Sabrina reports that Ben is doing well. He loves to jump the cross-country course and seems to think he is a dog.

Dr. Chris Ryan delivered Ben.

Weston Warnock was raised in Bastrop, Texas, on a family-owned, and operated, feedyard and commercial cattle ranch. Growing up, he was actively involved in the show cattle industry and rodeo. Weston pursued undergraduate studies at Texas A&M University in Animal Science, before proceeding on to veterinary school at Texas A&M as well. Throughout veterinary school, he was involved with the Student Chapters of the American Association of Equine Practitioners, the American Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, serving as the president of the latter in 2010-2011. He was also admitted to Phi Zeta, a veterinary honors society, and awarded the Cardwell Scholarship for Excellence in Bovine Medicine. Weston received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M in 2012, graduating Summa Cum Laude, and was excited to join

SCEC in 2012. His professional interests include soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, gastrointestinal disease, lameness, and ophthalmology. Outside of the clinic, he enjoys hunting, fishing, ranching, and team roping.

Meet the New Interns Melodee Ingram was born and raised in Cardiff-by-the-sea CA, where she grew up training and competing in equestrian show jumpers, progressing from children’s jumpers to the open amateur jumpers. Melodee completed her undergraduate education at Washington State University in Animal Science and this is where she developed interest in equine reproduction. She went forth and completed a Master’s Degree in Animal Science with a specialization in Equine Reproduction from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. During her Master’s Degree, she studied the effects of the sperm surface protein HSP-7 on equine fertilization. Melodee was then admitted to Western University of Health Sciences where she completed her veterinary degree and graduated in 2012. During veterinary school, Melodee was the president of the Student Chapter of American Association of Equine Practitioners, was awarded multiple equestrian related scholarships and had the opportunity to gain clinical experience from many international veterinarians and participate in the age old traditions of the Palio horse race (Siena, Italy) in 2010. Melodee joined Steinbeck Country Equine Clinic (SCEC) in 2012 and is eager to grow as a veterinary professional with her SCEC colleagues. Melodee’s professional interests include: equine sports medicine, advanced therapeutics, diagnostic imaging, lameness and orthopedics. Away from the clinic, you can find Melodee enjoying the Monterey Peninsula with her husband, Jon and her 10 year old Boxer, Titus.

SCEC Externship & Internship Programs We’ve had roughly 280 veterinary students come to visit from ~ 39 schools, from across the states and thirteen other countries. Veterinarians have also come to visit, like our dear Dr. Terry Boretti, originally from Brazil. We have also helped veterinarians, like Dr. Raj Kang, who obtained his veterinary degree in another country and needed to pass the large animal portion of the testing in the U.S. We’ve seen young volunteers and shadows come back again as technicians, externs, and interns.

Over the years, we’ve had the chance to meet many bright and enthusiastic students. They ride along in the trucks, assist with treatments, and are asked to give a presentation during the doctor rounds. The intern selection time is always bittersweet because we can’t accept all the gifted students we would like, but we enjoy hearing their familiar names come up when they send us referrals or are listed at special veterinary events. We know they are out there doing well in their careers.

We’ve had 18 veterinary interns now, from 7 different schools. Some of our interns chose to return to their home states immediately after their year was over, or to accept a residency elsewhere, or to open their own practices. Others have stayed for residencies at SCEC. Dr. Nora Grenager completed her 3 year board certification in internal medicine and then joined the practice temporarily as an associate. Dr. Sarah James is currently completing her ABVP residency with us, and Dr. Nick Carlson has started his surgery residency. It is always fun to hear from our former externs and interns, receive baby photos and news updates, such as the fascinating ones from Dr. Grenager about her time abroad caring for horses in Dubai.
