When something’s wrong with your horse, how quickly would you catch it?

On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr break down the vital signs of a healthy horse and how understanding your horse’s “normal” can help you recognize subtle changes before they become serious (or expensive) problems.

They cover:

• What’s considered normal for a horse’s temperature, pulse, and respiration
• How travel, exercise, stress, and seasonal changes can affect vital signs
• What signs suggest your horse might be in distress, even if they “look fine”
• Why being proactive with horse care helps you avoid costly emergencies

Don’t wait for a health scare to start paying attention. Learn how to stay one step ahead and become your horse’s strongest advocate!
