WELLBEING CONSULTATION
£65 | 45MIN
THE TREATMENT
The Wellbeing Consultation includes everything in the Weight Consultation package, plus your horses resting vital signs (temperature, pulse and respiration) recorded as their baseline. This is critical knowledge for every horse owner. Passing this information onto vets when your horse is sick can determine the urgency repsonse. Thats because 'normal for horses' and 'normal for your horse' may not be the same.

WHY IT MATTERS
At some point every horse owner will be faced with a sick horse and most owners panic. Many might rely on a yard manager or someone else to take their horses vital signs for them. But the single most useful thing you can know in that moment is your own horse's baseline. Without that you have nothing to compare to. I created this service due to my own personal experience. I truly believe that knowing my horses baseline vitals saved his life. I now want all horse owners to acquire this basic skill. Our story: My thoroughbred runs an unusually low body temperature, around 36 to 36.4 degrees. One evening late after work, My boy ate all his feed - just very slowly (which is not typical for him). He was a little quiet but there were droppings in his stable, the bed had the usual wet patches and his hay net was all most empty. When I took his temperature it read 37.7, which any vet would call normal for a horse. but for him, that was a high fever fever. I called the vet on exactly that information. Within the hour he was down, sweating, unable to hold his head up, with suspected peritonitis. Had I not taken his temperature that night it would've been another 12hrs befor he was checked again and the outcome would have been very different. Knowing his baseline is what got him urgent treatment in time. Every horse owner meets this moment eventually. This consultation makes sure you'll have the numbers when you do.
