Get to Your Recommendation in 3 Clicks!

Simply choose the category that matches your horse’s symptoms — such as colic, lameness, eye injuries, wounds, foaling complications, poisonings, respiratory issues, neurological behavior, fever, or skin reactions, and follow the step-by-step prompts. Based on your selections, the app provides one of three recommendations:

  • 🟢 Monitor — Safe to watch at home, but know what changes to look for.
  • 🟡 Make an Appointment — Contact your vet during regular hours for further care.
  • 🔴 Emergency — Call Vet — Immediate veterinary attention is needed.

Each recommendation includes detailed next steps you can take right away — from how to safely confine your horse and collect vital signs, to what information to share when you call your vet. You’ll also find practical, easy-to-understand tips and videos to help you stay calm, prepared, and effective in a crisis.

Whether you’re dealing with a mild fever, a suspicious wound, a colic episode, or a life-threatening emergency, this app helps you make informed decisions quickly and confidently. It’s not a replacement for veterinary care; it helps you know when to call and what to say.

I live two hours from the nearest vet, so I used to second-guess every decision. This app gives me the confidence to know when I really need to make that call, and it’s been a lifesaver for me and my horses. — Cheryl Weaver, Oklahoma
