Sageview Ranch
Share
Nestled in the Thompson Okanagan lies Sageview Ranch, 34 acres just beyond the Kamloops airport surrounded by hoodoos and the Thompson River.
This time honored, family-owned, five generational ranch blends western heritage and community hospitality. Nestled on 34 acres just beyond the airport in Kamloops Sageview Ranch is a time-honored family-owned operation that blends generations of western heritage with community-minded hospitality. Situated at 3635 Tranquille Rd in BC's scenic Thompson Nicola region this ranch is well known beyond just horse circles, it's designated as a trusted emergency livestock evacuation site and recognized locally for its rescue work during regional wildfires and floods. Sageview Ranch stands out as a pillar of resilience in times of regional crisis from the 2017 elephant hill wildfire to the 2021 floods and Coquihalla accidents. Ranch owner Kelly Kennedy has opened her gates as a sanctuary welcoming displaced people and animals alike and even chartering a helicopter for livestock rescue operations, an unprecedented move in Canadian ranch history
For generations the Kennedys and the Elis have been raising top tier rope horses and rodeo steers passing down horsemanship ranching and rodeo savvy from parent to child. As strong supporters of the next generation Sageview has always had open gates to any young riders and ropers, offering a safe and encouraging place for them to learn the fundamentals of the sport. They have built a business grounded in respect for the land and the animals. Beyond the arena the SV is utilizing its land by growing hay, fresh veggies and colorful cut flowers all to be offered at their charming roadside farmstand. From Stockman tradition to community service Sageview Ranch continues to honor its multigenerational roots by raising champion rope horses and rodeo steers, harvesting the lands bounty, and extending a helping hand well beyond its fence pastures

🐴💊 **BUTE vs. BANAMINE: WHICH ONE WHEN?**
They’re probably two of the best known medications in the horse world. Both relieve pain and inflammation, but they aren’t necessarily the first choice for the same problems.
Here’s an easy barn trick for remembering the difference:
🦴 BUTE = BONES, JOINTS & FEET
🤢 BANAMINE = BELLY & FEVER
🦴 BUTE | Phenylbutazone: Think musculoskeletal pain and inflammation. Bute is commonly used for things like arthritis, hoof pain, laminitis, strains, soreness, and other causes of lameness. If your horse hurts when he MOVES, your veterinarian may reach for BUTE.
🤢 BANAMINE | Flunixin Meglumine: Think visceral pain, meaning pain coming from the internal organs. Banamine is especially useful for **colic and abdominal pain** and is also commonly used for fever and inflammation associated with systemic illness. If your horse hurts in his GUT, your veterinarian may reach for BANAMINE.
🐴 BUT WAIT...
Bute doesn't have a GPS programmed for the legs, and Banamine doesn't magically drive straight to the intestines. 😂
Both are systemic NSAIDs, and both can reduce pain and inflammation throughout the body. There’s plenty of overlap. The difference is that each has situations where veterinary evidence and experience make it a more logical first choice.
⚠️ DON’T STACK THEM. Giving Bute and Banamine together can increase the risk of ulcers, intestinal injury, and kidney damage.
⚠️ Banamine may make a horse with a serious intestinal problem appear much more comfortable temporarily. If the pain returns, breaks through the medication, or your horse continues showing colic signs, call your veterinarian.
🦴 My horse hurts when he MOVES. Think BUTE.
🤢 My horse hurts in his GUT. Think BANAMINE.
🤷 I don't know WHY my horse hurts. Think VET. ☎️
And remember, pain relief isn't the same thing as fixing the problem.
