Dr. Scott Pierce Dr. Scott Pierce grew up on a farm in Maryville, MO, and is the son of

veterinarian John Pierce and Delores (Picki). Working with the animals alongside his father nurtured his desire to become a veterinarian himself.

He obtained his undergraduate degree from Northwest Missouri State, then attended veterinary school at the University of Missouri. He earned his degree in 1983.

His practice has changed since first signing on with Rood & Riddle. In his early years of practice, Dr. Pierce was a general practitioner whose work consisted mainly of reproductive work at local bluegrass farms. In his book about his career, Dr. Tom Riddle said, “One of the first veterinarians to join Rood and Riddle was Dr. Scott Pierce. Boy, were we lucky he did! From the beginning, Dr. Pierce was excellent at almost every aspect of equine practice; from broodmares to sales yearlings, he has done it all and done it well. In recent years he has concentrated his practice on sales, and he is a trusted advisor to many of the best in the Thoroughbred business.”

Today, his practice concentrates on public and private sales work. He is wellknown for his work in endoscopy of the upper respiratory tract of juvenile thoroughbreds. Dr. Pierce and surgeon Dr. Rolf Embertson have published several papers together; when asked about the collaboration, Dr. Embertson responded, “Dr. Pierce has played a significant role in contributing to our understanding of the larynx in the immature Thoroughbred horse.”

Dr. Pierce has been providing mentorship to young veterinarians since 1998, when he took on his first intern Dr. Bart Barber. “Scott has been a tremendous mentor and exemplar to me for the past 23 years. Not just in veterinary medicine and client relationships but in being a decent person and contributing positively to society,” commented Dr. Barber when asked about his internship experience.

In addition to his ambulatory practice, Dr. Pierce manages Rood & Riddle’s two satellite hospitals in Saratoga, NY., and Wellington, FL. “Scott was the perfect choice to manage our satellite hospitals,” said co-founder Dr. Bill Rood, “He is an entrepreneur, an out-of-the-box thinker, and marches to his own drummer, and that is just what is needed.”

In 1999, along with his brother, Dr. Stuart Pierce, they started Kinetic Vet. Their company develops supplements, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and disinfectants.

Dr. Pierce is married to Dr. Deborah SpikePierce, President/CEO of Rood & Riddle.

Together, they own a Thoroughbred farm.

Dr. Pierce’s family also includes four daughters and two sons. Dr. Stephanie Pierce and Dr. Riley Pierce, both thirdgeneration veterinarians, Jennifer, Rhett, and Vivian and Audra.

Kaytee Mountain named 2020 Rood & Riddle Sport Horse of the Year

Trophy Presentation at the National TOBA Awards Dinner Sue Gallagher and Dr. Tom Riddle

Kaytee Mountain did not win any prizes on the racetrack, recording four rear-half finishes from as many starts in the Mid-Atlantic in 2007, but now at age 18, the son of De Niro has earned recognition as the Rood & Riddle Sport Horse of the Year.

An off-track Thoroughbred owned and ridden by Sue Gallagher, Kaytee Mountain competes in dressage within the International Federation for Equestrian Sports. Too slow to achieve on the racetrack, he has flourished in a different setting, developing within the ranks of Concours de Dressage International, or CDI. On her website, Gdtdressage.com, Gallagher calls Kaytee Mountain, otherwise known as Tee, her “first love.” She bought him out of a field in October 2007 as a 4-year-old in Pennsylvania. Years later, Gallagher earned a United States Dressage Federation silver medal in 2014 and bronze medal in 2013 teaming with him.

By any measure, these were stellar achievements for a horse who earned just $250 on the track for racing owners Robert Redcay and Bruce Hostetter. Deerview Racing Stable bred him in Pennsylvania.

In an interview with Eurodressage.com in the fall of 2020, Gallagher said she feels it takes a particular horse and rider to succeed in dressage with the Thoroughbred, noting how “highly strung this breed is. You need someone who is going to work with you to come up with creative ideas and training exercises to access their active brains and tight bodies.”

Shannon Stevens and Gigi Nutter have played key roles in Kaytee Mountain’s training, Gallagher has noted in interviews.

Gallagher indicated to Eurodressage that she views off-the-track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) as an alternative to expensive dressage prospects. She purchased Kaytee Mountain for $3,500, she said.

“However, I would not go for one who had 30 starts and won loads of money,” she said. “Personally, I would go for one that has had limited starts and won very little, like ‘Tee,’ who had a few starts and came last (or near-last) every time.”

She told Eurodressage her most crucial success with Kaytee Mountain was “training him from the racetrack to Grand Prix and competing in the USDF national events in Grand Prix and being awarded the USDF gold medal. We did what so many people said we couldn’t do, and that was beyond rewarding. But it was also an amazing moment to compete in CDIs. We were due to compete in our first CDI Grand Prix, but unfortunately with all events being canceled due to (COVID-19), we have to wait.

“But we will be training and improving, so we can really show just what the OTTB can do in the CDI ring,” concluded Gallagher.

Sue Gallagher entertained the crowd while accepting Kaytee Mountain’s trophy at the awards dinner held at Xalapa Farm and her acceptance speech was a big hit!

CRUSHED HEELS

by Dr. Scott Fleming Podiatry QUESTION: How do crushed heels happen, and how might they impact an athletic horse (racehorse or sport horse)?

Scott Fleming DVM, CF

“TThe modern Thoroughbred has been continuously refined for speed and this is reflected in the light, often thinner walled hooves they possess.”

“Proper development from an early age is critical to maintaining a healthy hoof into and throughout adulthood.”

“While prevention is the best medicine, therapeutic shoeing/ trimming protocols including bar shoes, sole support, and addressing mechanical needs of the hoof can all help with this problem.”

Dr. Scott Fleming: The modern Thoroughbred has been continuously refined for speed and this is reflected in the light, often thinner walled hooves they possess. A lighter hoof is more susceptible to forces acted on it at speed and can manifest itself in hoof deformation and eventual dysfunction of anatomical structures in the caudal or “back” part of the hoof. Crushed or significantly underrun heels are a hoof conformation fault encountered in all breeds, but very common in the Thoroughbred.

This condition typically develops over time and can be prevalent by early adulthood. There are varying degrees of crushed heels. Depending on the observer, you can describe the degree of heel dysfunction as “low heels” being milder and “crushed” being more severe. Crushed heels can be seen by the eye, but hidden within the hoof, there are often changes that take advanced imaging such as radiography, CT, or MRI to define. Often, crushed heels are accompanied by negative palmar (forelimb) or plantar (hindlimb) angles of the coffin bone, a broken back hoof-pastern axis, and degradation of the digital cushion which is the lifeblood of caudal hoof function.

A hoof is a functioning framework of bone, soft tissue and hoof wall/sole keratin all working together to support and provide traction for the horse. This highly specialized unit must endure tremendous load and stress whether at rest or speed. Proper development from an early age is critical to maintaining a healthy hoof into and throughout adulthood. Timely and attentive hoof care early in life along with activity providing impact/concussion while growing are very important factors for development. The wings of the coffin bone are very short in early life and grow caudally as the horse matures. Strong healthy wings are critical for maintaining health in the back of the hoof as they share load with the digital cushion. We often see underdeveloped or resorbing coffin bone wings with crushed/low heels.

Crushed heels can significantly impact performance through unsoundness or physical breakdown of the hoof with heel or quarter cracks. Often, these horses are heel sore and may have bruising or “corns” present. Low heels or negative palmar/plantar angles also increase stress that can lead to soft tissue injury further up the limb. A good physical exam of the hoof is an integral part of diagnosing a problem and formulating a treatment plan. While prevention is the best medicine, therapeutic shoeing/trimming protocols including bar shoes, sole support, and addressing mechanical needs of the hoof can all help with this problem. Unfortunately, the effects can often linger if severe.

Scott Fleming, originally from Northeast Texas, grew up riding Western performance Quarter Horses and working with cattle. Upon graduating from high school, Fleming attended farrier school and maintained a quarter horse centric farrier business in Northeast and central Texas until moving to Lexington. He also served in the Marine Corps Infantry for four years.

Fleming graduated from veterinary school at Texas A&M University in 2013. He then completed an internship at Rood & Riddle in 2013-2014, continued at the hospital as a fellow, and is currently a shareholder at Rood & Riddle.

Outside of Rood & Riddle, Fleming enjoys spending time on the farm with his wife, Tina and their two children, Callie and Case. A special interest for Dr. Fleming is participating in Equitarian Initiative trips to Central America to help working equids in the region.

STALL REST ISN’T SO RESTFUL

by Dr. Lindsey Rings Internal Medicine QUESTION: Sometimes stall rest is part of a horse’s recovery program but some horses don’t tolerate it well and may even self-injure. What makes them do this, and what can be done about it?

DR. Lindsey Rings: Stall rest can be a very important and necessary part of your veterinarian’s

treatment plan for your horse and finding ways to make this time less stressful for you and your horse can be a challenge. Stall confinement can lead to the development of unwanted behaviors such as cribbing, weaving or stall walking. To help to avoid these behaviors, efforts to keep your horse engaged or entertained throughout the day should be utilized.

As herd animals, horses benefit from the companionship of other equids. Stall rest can make this difficult to impossible. Placing a calm companion animal within eyesight of a stall-rested horse can be of benefit and can help to reduce the stress in the stall confined horse. If a companion horse in an adjacent stall is impractical or impossible to provide, the placement of a shatterproof mirror in the stall may be of benefit.

Horses that engage with their reflection are found to have reduced stress and anxiety.

Toys placed in your horse’s stall can occupy their down time. Commercial horse toys are available on the market and some even dispense treats or feed to your horse. The addition of stuffed animals, traffic cones, or make-it-yourself stall toys can also engage your horse’s mind during confinement.

Adjustments to your horse’s diet should also be implemented while maintaining a horse on stall rest. A stall-rested horse may not require the same caloric intake as they did while being more active. Therefore, reductions in concentrate/grain intake should be implemented. The use of a slow feeder or nibble net can extend the amount of time a horse spends consuming their hay and this can help to reduce their unoccupied time.

In a horse that is behaving in an unsafe manner towards either itself or its human care takers or whose behavior has remained retractable to management changes, the use of pharmaceuticals should be considered. Medications such as acepromazine, reserpine or fluphenazine have classically been used to reduce anxiety or induce long term sedation in stall confined horses. The use of trazadone orally is relatively new and seems to offer a safe and effective means to facilitate confinement and enhance calmness. Other products such as alpha-casozepine (Zlykene), magnesium sulfate and herbal combinations are also available and can be effective when used appropriately. Always consult with your veterinarian prior to starting treatment with any of these medications or supplements.

“Placing a calm companion animal within eyesight of a stall-rested horse can be of benefit and can help to reduce the stress in the stall confined horse.”

“Toys placed in your horse’s stall can occupy their down time.”

“In a horse that is behaving in an unsafe manner towards either itself or its human care takers or whose behavior has remained retractable to management changes, the use of pharmaceuticals should be considered.”

While stall rest is never easy for the horse or its human caretakers, there are several key areas of consideration that can help to make this event much less stressful on all involved.

Dr. Lindsey Rings aspired to be a veterinarian since she “could ride around in a car” with her mother, Marylou, who has a farm animal ambulatory practice and her father, Mike, an Internal Medicine Specialist himself.

After graduating from The Ohio State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012, Rings, a Columbus, Ohio native, interned in New Jersey before completing an internship in 2014 at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky.

After completing the internship, Rings returned to her alma mater and completed a three-year residency in Equine Internal Medicine while earning her Master’s degree in Comparative and Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Rings practices at Rood & Riddle in Saratoga hospital as an internal medicine specialist working heavily with ambulatory veterinarians and other veterinary specialists.

EQUINE CHIROPRACTIC THERAPY

by Dr. Heath Soignier Ambulatory QUESTION: It seems chiropractic care is becoming more popular and accepted in the veterinary community in recent years. What types of issues can this therapy address well, and when is it not a good fit?

Heath Soignier DVM, CVSMT

“The goal of a manual chiropractic adjustment is to bring motion into a joint that has not been moving correctly or effectively throughout its entire range of motion.”

“This treatment modality is most commonly looked into after conventional veterinary care has not resolved pain or discomfort for the patient.”

“Spinal manipulative therapy is more commonly being sought after now due to increasing drug regulations in equine athletes.”

Dr. Heath Soignier: “Chiropractic” therapy is very common in the human world and it is beginning to be accepted in the veterinary world. Veterinary spinal manipulative therapy, or more commonly known as “chiropractic” care, is a holistic approach as treatment for injuries, body soreness, etc. and should also be considered a preventative therapy. Documented science backs the effectiveness of manipulative therapy. Spinal manipulation is a safe and effective treatment modality for animal patients. It can and does affect the nervous system directly and indirectly which allows the therapist to think about neuro-anatomical function of the patient. As integrative therapies are being sought after more often, it is important to remember that complete workups of a patient and a common-sense approach to treatment is advised.

A common misconception is that a bone is “out of place.” It is better described as a lack of mobility or restricted motion of a joint through normal range of motion. The goal of a manual chiropractic adjustment is to bring motion into a joint that has not been moving correctly or effectively throughout its entire range of motion.

These joints (motion units) are palpated and evaluated for motion or lack thereof, as well as heat and tenderness. An adjustment is defined by experts as a “high velocity, low amplitude thrust into a specific direction of a specific joint.” When an adjustment is made, there are a few things happening to the specific joint that is being manipulated. These include breaking up adhesions, releasing of synovial folds and stimulation of receptors in and around the joint. It is important to realize that these joints are being manipulated by mere millimeters. By stimulating muscle receptors, the tone of muscles, tendons, and surrounding tissues are also affected. This can help in preventing some tendon injuries where an equine athlete may have some tightness in a muscle that is not clinically showing any pain, but the added tension under stress can lead to an injury.

This treatment modality is most commonly looked into after conventional veterinary care has not resolved pain or discomfort for the patient. Some common indications for this therapy could be unresolved lameness, sudden behavioral changes, sports injuries, or it may be used as a complimentary therapy. Some patients are evaluated for overall conditioning and any signs of pain or discomfort to areas over the body such as temporomandibular issues. Muscle pain and tone can be indicative of signs of joint restriction/dysfunction.

A major contraindication of treatment would be a fractured bone within a joint segment.

Other contraindications would include neoplasia, pyrexia (fever), sickness, or hemorrhage.

Being able to perform any adjustment will always depend on patient cooperation. Safety for the patient as well as the therapist must always be a priority.

Spinal manipulative therapy is more commonly being sought after now due to increasing drug regulations in equine athletes. A more holistic approach is becoming widely accepted in the equine industry. These therapies can help our equine athletes and offer a safe and effective treatment.
