What do you get and how does it work?
--------------------------------------
Health checks provide you with a record of what is “normal” for your horse or give you information, that could be useful when you do need to call a vet.
Each section has a comment area to capture what "normal" is for your horse.
This section creates awareness for horse owners, "what to look for..." on a daily basis, what a healthy or a sick horse looks like. The earlier you catch signs of illness, the better the prognosis often is.

There is a First Aid Checklist that gives you a basic list of items to keep in a safe clean place. This can often save time in crucial situations where every minute counts. In version 2 the email tool will create a shopping list of items that is not checked on the First Aid Checklist. Notes can be used to add extra items to your list.

A Body Condition Score can be calculated where parameters such “Considering an older horse” and a “Mare in her last trimester“ is taken into consideration. This information can help you decide, on managing changes, such as nutritional intake or what activity your horse will best succeed in. This can also be a method to assess, what weight a horse is capable of carrying. This method is ideal for assessing horses with thick winter coats or mares in foal.

The calculations for the Horse Weight Estimator takes the horse’s age in consideration and therefore has different formulas to calculate a foal, yearling, and a mature horse’s weight.

The estimated weight of the horse is calculated on an average between the various weight calculation methods, "Length to Hip", "Length of Horse" and for foals, it uses a method based on the “Heart Girth”.
The app supports both Metric or the Imperial measurements.
In addition to this section, “Weight to Carry” is calculated where a horse is of age to ride, but human discretion and information around a Body Condition Score should be taken into consideration.

The "Rug Size Guide" section guides you on what measurements you need to take before you shop for a horse rug. In this section, the Height of the Horse can also be captured in both hands and cm.

The “In Case of Emergency” section helps you capture information that can be useful to have on hand in case of emergency. This information needs to be up in your tack room or given to a friend or person that might look after your horse when you are on holiday.

Each section has an action list in version 2 where Information is provided on each topic and email functionality that can send captured information for history purposes or be emailed to the veterinarian when a horse is showing signs of being ill. On the “In Case of Emergency” section, the email functionality can be useful to email and print out to put up in your tack room or send to a friend who is looking after your horses.
When selling your horse, the information in this app can also be sent to the new horses owner. To be able to email the data from your app gives endless options to be more proactive in sharing and keeping information on your horse.
