Spring Fever Hits Horse Enthusiasts – Vet Tips on Correctly Preparing Your Horse

Warm weather means many of us are saddling up fuzzy horses, and anxiously awaiting the horse-event season to start. There are several things horse owners should do to protect their horses and prevent the spread of illness through the horse community.

Horses should be vaccinated for West Nile, Tetanus, Eastern and Western Encephalitis and of course Rhino and Influenza, according to Liz Scott, DVM, at Idaho Equine Hospital in Nampa, Idaho.

The Idaho Buckaroo Project has gained a following that includes cowboys, buckaroos, businesses, city dwellers and the arts community

New photographs from the project will be unveiled tomorrow night (November, 15th) in a special exhibit. A combination of western photography and high-energy, Country-Cajun music will be the featured event, Tuesday, November 15th, at the Nampa Civic Center, Brandt Auditorium. The Center will host photographer, Andrea Scott, who will share her new photographs from the Idaho Buckaroo Project.

Please come and see the Unveiling of the Idaho Buckaroo Project. Here is the information release.

You will rarely get to view an exhibit of this caliber. Western Traditional Artists will have their work on display, as well as the photographs and essays of photographer Andrea Scott who is currently documenting the Buckaroos and cowboys of the Great Basin.

The opening is from 5-9, October, 6, at Stewart Gallery.1110 Jefferson St., near downtown Boise and the Lock, Stock, and Barrel.

A special film premier of the movie “Buck”, the true story of horse whisperer Buck Brannaman, will be hosted Thursday, July 7, at 6 p.m. at the Flicks movie theater in downtown Boise.

An extraordinary silent auction will also be held that includes: a 4-day, 3-night vacation package to Hagerman, Idaho, gift certificates to D&B Supply, Angell’s Bar and Grill, and a beauty package form Graeber and Company. These will be just a few of the items people can bid on.

The Idaho Buckaroo Project traveled to Utah this past week with great results. I entered the World’s first Western Art Rodeo Association competition. Top western artists from across the country displayed and competed with their artwork for two full days at Robert Redford’s famous Sundance Resort.

The best part of the competition for me was being able to get on stage with my photos of Idaho Buckaroos and talk about what buckaroos mean to the American West.
