Your horse’s feet change with the seasons. Keep your farrier and veterinarian informed about what you notice.

Photographs taken at regular visits can help you discuss changes over time with your hoof care team.

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.
