The 10-Minute Horse Soundness Check
Notice the small things before they become bigger problems.
The 10-Minute Horse Soundness Check is a practical head-to-hoof routine designed to help horse owners become more familiar with what is normal for their horse — so subtle changes in movement, posture, heat, swelling, behaviour or comfort are easier to recognise.
This is not a veterinary diagnostic guide. It is a simple observation system you can use regularly at the stable to build a clearer baseline of your horse’s normal movement and behaviour.
Inside the guide you’ll learn how to:
- Check posture and weight distribution
- Compare feet and lower limbs
- Look for unusual heat or swelling
- Assess the back and topline
- Observe walk and trot from multiple angles
- Check turns, backing and transitions
- Recognise behavioural changes worth investigating
- Use the Green / Amber / Red decision system
- Build a visual soundness baseline for your horse
- Perform a 60-second pre-ride version
- Record changes using the included Soundness Log
Perfect for:
Horse owners, riders, trainers and anyone who wants to become more observant and proactive about their horse’s everyday soundness.
