Horse Care Needs

It is important you develop a partnership with a veterinarian prior to an emergency. You can begin developing a partnership by consulting your veterinarian for your horse's routine and preventive health care.

Vaccinations: Your horse should be vaccinated at least once a year.

Parasite Control: Your horse needs to be de-wormed several times each year.

Dental Care: Teeth should be checked by a veterinarian once a year.

First Aid: Keep a first aid kit handy containing bandage material, a thermometer, and ointments.

Vitamin and Mineral Supplements: There are lots of different mineral and vitamin supplements on the market. Feeding excessive levels can cause problems for horses.

Foot Care: Clean your horse's hooves before and after you ride. Examine all hooves frequently for problems.
