What this sheet is for

Keep track of how hard each animal works at events, one sheet per booking. A weekly total shows when one is being used more than the rest.

Who it is for

People who take animals to schools, parties, shows and filming, and anyone running handling sessions.

How to use it

  1. Write the limits your own procedure sets in the boxes at the top before the event.
  2. Fill in the venue, distance and travel times each way.
  3. For each animal, write when it came out and went back, minutes worked and whether the public handled it.
  4. Note rests, water and anything about its behaviour or an injury.
  5. Add the session to its weekly total before you file the sheet.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: One event and the animals taken to it: where, how far and how long on the road, then for each animal how long it was out, whether the public handled it, its rests and water, how it behaved and its total for the week.

Your limits, written in. No working or rest times are printed. Your own written procedure, your vet and the rules where you are set them, so write them in the boxes below. Rest any animal that shows signs of stress, whatever the booking says, and note what you saw.

Write-on lines: Date · Venue · Booked by, and phone · Exhibit type · Distance · Travel out · Travel back · Left base · Back at base · Limit per session (your procedure) · Rest it sets · Sessions per week it sets

Animals taken — one line per animal; out and in are its times out of the carrier

Table, 9 rows: Animal and ID · Species · Out · In · Minutes · Handled · Rests · Water · Behaviour or injury · Week total

Questions

Why are no working or rest times printed?

Because they depend on the species, the animal and the type of event, and are set by your own written procedure, your vet and the licence conditions where you are. Write yours at the top so every session is checked against the same limit.

How do I keep the weekly total?

Carry it forward: add this session's minutes and count to the total on the animal's last sheet. The last column then shows its week so far.
