Daily observations and a consistent care record can support a useful conversation about comfort and movement.

Note changes in your horse’s ordinary movement and share those observations with the treating veterinarian.

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.
