Your own horse's condition score, weight, feed, teeth, hooves and records in one binder, so slow changes show up as a trend you can take to your vet.
Replaces the girth measurement you forgot to write down, the feed-room whiteboard, and the "when was his last float?" you cannot answer at the vet's truck.

Who made this
Built by the SeniorHorseGuide team from the same sources the free site cites: the Henneke body condition scoring system, AAEP vaccination and parasite control guidelines, Equine Endocrinology Group recommendations, and this site's own feed-weight and cost calculators. Laid out as worksheets to fill in, not pages to read.

Questions
Does this replace the free site?
No. The free site has the guides and calculators; the kit is where your own horse's numbers get written down month after month, plus the records, schedules and budget the free pages do not carry.
Does it tell me what to feed or how much medication or dewormer to give?
No. It helps you write down the forage-first plan your vet agrees with and uses this site's published 1.5 to 2 percent forage range as a starting point. Every medication and dewormer dose comes from your vet or the label.
Is this veterinary advice?
No. It is researched care information. It records what you see and what your vet has told you, and it never diagnoses PPID, metabolic disease, pain or anything else.
Where does the body condition scale come from?
The Henneke system, published by Henneke and colleagues in 1983 and still the scale most US vets use. The kit describes each score in its own words and asks you to score with your vet once so you score the same way.
What if it does not help?
Use the whole kit for 30 days. If it does not help, the refund form on the contact page gets every dollar back, no questions asked. Refund form.
Printable or fillable on screen?
Both. Print the PDF and keep it in the barn, or open a worksheet on a tablet. The spreadsheet opens in Excel or Google Sheets.
