keep an eye on your snail mail for an important announcement from Andria!
One of my special focuses is helping our patients, and their riders, safely get back to doing what they love. Until now I have provided equine sports massage, physiotherapy, regenerative therapies, and equine fitness coaching to our patients through our veterinary practice. I want you to know, before anyone else, that these services are now offered and 100% benefit the registered 501 c (3) charitable arm of our practice, The Equine Healing Center.
All my services help horses holistically through our following nonprofit programs:
· Sagebrush Sioux’s Angel Fund – reducing the cost of veterinary care for low-income owners or horses in need.
· Rehabilitation of injured horses for a new life as family or therapy horses for veterans or child centered programs.
· Educational opportunities and events here at our facility and online for our equine community.
· Whole Horse Externship Opportunities here at our facility for veterinary students – aimed at empowering the next generation of equine veterinary practitioners in whole horse medicine.
Whenever you use my services, your money goes to these worthy programs. You can also make a tax-deductible donation to any of these programs.
As I type, we are building a state-of-the-art equine recovery facility to complement Massie Equine Veterinary Clinic. From regenerative therapies to massage, bodywork, and equine spa days, The Equine Healing Center provides treatments and coaching to help injured horses recover faster, with optimal results. Please reach out to Tori to schedule my services and help horses in need! ~ Andria Massie.
spring vaccines: why you shouldn't give them yourself
We charge the same pricing as The Grange for our vaccines. Why? It's safer for us to give them to your horse. We'd rather protect our patients and clients then have you run into a vaccine issue. You see, retail and online stores do not have any rules for handling vaccines properly. You really have no idea if the kid working at the retail store unpacked the vaccines and left them on a shelf for a couple days instead of the refrigerator. We honor your wish to vaccinate your own horses. It's not about the money to us. If you give a vaccine yourself and your horse has a reaction you have no recourse, and neither do we. If we vaccinate your horse and they have a reaction then the vaccine company pays for your veterinary care due to the reaction. Schedule your spring wellness exam and we will talk about the vaccination recommendations above.
leave a message! seriously...
For some reason folks have been calling and not leaving messages. We can see each call that comes in. If you don't leave a message we can't help you! If you call and leave a message Tori will get back to you urgently if it is urgent, and within 24 hours if it isn't.
Equine Care Plans
We've designed equine care plans to help you provide the best in equine veterinary care at an affordable price. Whether your horse is a weekend warrior, a savvy senior or a performance paragon, simply pay for 1/2 of your annual exam and then we bill you the other 1/2 in low cost monthly installments. Broodmare AI and Colic plans available as well. All feature optional add-on services too! Starting as low as $27/month ,one of our plans is sure to fit your budget. You will also receive 10% off all pet services and regenerative medicine therapy packages when enrolled in a care plan. Call Tori today at 541-636-1191 to schedule your annual wellness exam and get enrolled!
our latest blog: Soundness Checks for Performance Horses and Trail Horses Before Competition & Trail Riding Season
Competition and trail riding season is upon us, and you’re probably excited to get into the show pen or head to the mountains. As you gear up for the upcoming events and adventures, it’s time to focus on getting your horses in peak condition. You might believe your horse is sound as long as they're moving smoothly and showing no obvious health issues, but that’s not always true. Soundness is more than just movement; it is the optimal state of health and function of your horse’s body and mind. Sometimes, the only way to tell that something is wrong is through comprehensive soundness checks.
🚨 farm calls & House calls: when there's a delay🚨
Our policy for scheduled ambulatory appointments is to expect a 2 hour leeway on either side of your appointment. You may need to be rescheduled to to an emergency on either side of your appointment time. Most large animal clients understand this policy, as it is standard practice throughout large animal practice. This also goes for scheduled end of life care. If there is a delay, we will notify you as quickly as we possibly can. If you do not hear from us by the start of your appointment time it may mean that we are out of service, or Tori is on the phone. One of our staff will get in touch with you as quickly as possible to let you know our estimated time of arrival.
