Equine Health Monitoring for Owners

Have you ever worried you might miss the early signs that something’s not quite right with your horse? Whether it’s subtle changes in behaviour, a raised temperature, or slight swelling, knowing what to look for—and when to act—can make all the difference in equine health outcomes.

This practical and accessible online course gives horse owners the knowledge and tools to confidently monitor their horse’s health. From accurately taking TPR (temperature, pulse, respiration) to identifying early signs of colic, laminitis, respiratory issues, and infection, you’ll learn how to build an effective daily and weekly health check routine that fits your schedule and supports your horse’s well-being.

You’ll also explore how to track health data, communicate clearly with your vet, and manage red-flag situations with confidence. With downloadable TPR logs, printable stable-side charts, case studies, and real-life scenarios, this course equips you with skills that make you a more attentive and proactive horse owner.

Whether your horse is in light work, competition, or retired, these monitoring skills will help you catch problems early, respond appropriately, and become a more confident partner in your horse’s care.
