A day gone wrong….

When I introduced this weekly column more than 22 years ago, my stated goal was to provide amusement--even if corny and outdated--largely for readers dealing with bodily wrinkles, waistlines, aches, breaks, bends and assorted other groans associated with later life. Sometimes I’ve tried to make lemonade when negative topics tempted.

Keep Your Horse Vaccinations Current

Texas has more horses than any other state in the nation, according to Texas Farm Bureau. They say Texas 4 times as many horses as Kentucky. Summer is close.  Many horse related activities are beginning in our area. Now is a good time to update your horse vaccinations if you haven’t already done so. Vaccinations are a vital part of health maintenance for your horse. They provide an active immunity to protect the horse against diseases they are intended for. Giving vaccinations does not keep your horse from getting a disease, but it gives your horse’s immune system a head starts in fighting off the disease which usually results in less symptoms, if any at all.  It is recommended to vaccinate your horse before you are showing/rodeoing or co-mingling with other outside horses.
