Healthy horse management

• Know what is ‘normal’ for your horse including his pulse, respiratory rate and temperature.

• Check your horse at least twice a day whether he lives in or out.

• Have a checklist for the yard that includes pointers such as swelling, heat, pulse, splints and discharge. This will help you to notice if something is wrong.
