A written management plan makes it easier to coordinate care for a horse with a history of laminitis.

Ask your veterinarian to help you document the individual plan and clarify when to request another review.

Start with a clear picture of your horse’s usual routine. A short, dated record of feeding, turnout, exercise, and appointments makes it easier to share useful observations with the people involved in your horse’s care.

Every horse has an individual history. Use your notes to prepare questions for your veterinarian or another qualified equine professional, and keep their recommendations with your horse’s care records.
