FIRST RESPONSE: The Horse Owner’s Emergency Guide

When something looks wrong, know where to start.

A horse emergency can make even experienced owners feel overwhelmed. FIRST RESPONSE brings clear, practical first-response information into one easy-to-reference guide: what to notice, when to call your veterinarian, what information to gather, and which actions to avoid.

Your $9.99 digital pack includes

• FIRST RESPONSE: The Horse Owner’s Emergency Guide — a 21-page PDF.
• My Horse’s Emergency Card — printable fields for vital contacts, healthy baselines, medications, allergies and important conditions.
• Stable First Response Chart — a printable quick-reference sheet for the yard.
• The card and chart are supplied together in both A4 and US Letter formats.

Prepare before you need it

Learn the CALM first-response framework, record your horse’s normal vital signs, prepare your emergency kit, and organise the details your veterinarian will need.

Find the problem fast

Symptom-led sections cover colic, choke, eye emergencies, breathing difficulty and allergic reactions, heat emergencies, bleeding and wounds, severe lameness and suspected fractures, penetrating hoof injuries, laminitis, acute leg swelling, neurological signs, and a down or cast horse.

Keep it close

Save the guide to your phone for reference. Print the emergency card, complete it while your horse is healthy, and post the stable chart where your care team can find it.

Digital PDF download only. No printed book, physical first-aid kit or medical supplies are included.

Educational information only, not a diagnosis or a substitute for veterinary examination, treatment or instructions. Contact your veterinarian promptly if your horse is unwell or injured. Do not delay emergency care to consult this guide.
