🚨 Patient Rounds Complete 🚨
Today’s veterinary team-in-training got some hands-on practice checking temperature, pulse, and respiration on our very cooperative equine patients. 🩺🐴
The verdict?
✨ Normal temperatures
✨ Strong, steady pulses
✨ Healthy respirations
✨ Nice pink gums
✨ Lots of happy belly gurgles
We’re pleased to report that every patient passed their wellness exam and was compensated appropriately with scratches, praise, and admiration. 😌
Learning to monitor a horse’s vital signs is an important part of good horsemanship, and our students are building the skills to recognize what “normal” looks like before something is wrong.
A successful day at Root of Riding! ❤️
