There are a number of things you can do to ensure you are prepared in case your horse has an emergency. Keep your veterinarian’s phone number handy and written down by all phones. Be sure to include a card on all stall doors. Be prepared to give temperature and other vital signs when calling for help. Have access to a trailer or the phone number of a person who does. Be sure all horses can load easily into a trailer. Have driving directions to a veterinary hospital. Have several friends/volunteers who you can enlist to help. Have those phone numbers handy. First aid kit (also kits for a trailer when traveling.) Practice taking vital signs and have something to record them on.
