Good observations can help your veterinary team understand a change in normal behavior.

Keep notes about what is offered and eaten, and contact your veterinarian about changes that concern you.

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.
