HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE
All Points Equine will be hosting a Toy Drive to benefit the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. For a wish list of toys and supplies needed, visit CHOP Toy Drive. Toys can be given to the doctors at appointments or dropped off at the office in Orefield. The drive will run through December 11, 2015. All participants will be entered into a raffle for a $100 gift certificate for All Points Equine services. Please contact the office at 610-351-1404 with any questions or to arrange a drop off.
USEF VACCINATION RULE CHANGE
As of December 1, 2015, all horses entering a USEF show must have been vaccinated against equine influenza and equine herpes virus within the past 6 months. This follows the vaccination guidelines published by the American Association of Equine Practitioners. This is due to several high-profile EHV outbreaks in recent years that have involved the neuropathogenic strain of the virus (called equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy), or EHM. There is not a vaccine labeled to provide protection against EHM. Please see their website at www.usef.org for more information.

HOLIDAY HOURS
The office will be closed on November 26 and 27, December 24 and 25 and December 31 and January 1st. Emergency services will still be provided on those days. Please plan prescription refills and paperwork requests to avoid delays during the holidays.
