In the veterinary world, while many ailments are either accidents or could not have been prevented, we often see cases which could have been avoided if the owners had taken preventative measures.
Dental exams, farriery, correct nutrition, adequate environment, worming and vaccinating are all factors within the owner's control which can result in a happier, healthier animal. This can ultimately cause less damage to your hip pocket and stress levels.
Below are wellness plans which can be used as a general guide in properly caring for your horse. Please consult your veterinarian before adopting any of these measures, as every animal is an individual, thus these measures may not be appropriate for their needs.
