Make time to discuss your barn’s emergency arrangements and the records you should keep.
Keep your horse’s identification, history, and emergency contacts together in an accessible folder.
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.
