What this sheet is for

Give whoever is standing in for you one page with everything they need, on the stable door rather than in a folder at home.

Who it is for

Owners, sharers, livery yards and anyone leaving a horse in somebody else's care.

How to use it

  1. Keep it where the horse is.
  2. Fill in the behaviour and handling notes properly — they are what a stranger needs.
  3. Record the out-of-hours vet number, not just the daytime one.
  4. Think about what a passer-by would learn before adding personal detail.

What is on the sheet

2 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: The one page somebody standing in for you needs — identity, vet, farrier, insurance, and what this horse does and does not do.

Keep it where the horse is. Keep this where the horse is, not at home. In an emergency the useful sheet is the one on the stable door. Consider what a stranger reading it would learn before including anything personal.

  • Known allergies or conditions, as your vet has described them
  • Medication currently given, recorded on the medicine sheet
  • Turnout arrangements and companions
  • Rugs, and at what point they change
  • Anything this horse must not have

Questions

Should this replace the passport?

No. Where an equine passport is legally required it must stay with the horse and this does not substitute for it. This is the practical summary a helper can actually use.
