The Everyday Owner’s Guide to Equine Emergencies is a practical guide designed to help you think clearly in the first minutes of an emergency. It focuses on what you can reasonably do right away, what to watch for, and when to pick up the phone.

This guide is not veterinary advice and cannot replace professional evaluation or treatment. If something feels serious or unclear, call your veterinarian first.

Inside, you’ll find simple, structured guidance on:

• Safety first and staying out of danger
• Normal vs not normal and what to notice
• Vital signs every owner can check
• Call now vs watch closely
• First steps for common emergencies (colic, wounds and bleeding, sudden lameness, choke, and eye concerns)
• What to say when calling the vet
• A printable Emergency Ready™ checklist and quick action page

Designed to be simple and practical so you can make better first decisions until professional care is available.
