Tip-top condition.

Ask yourself these questions to see if your horse is healthy.
1. Is your horse's tempature 99-101 degrees on a normal day?
2. Is your horse's respiration 8-20 breaths per minute?
3. Is your horse's heart rate 32-40 BPM?
4. Can you see your horse's ribs? Too Skinny!
5. Is he too fat?
6. How does your horse's coat look? A shiny, even coat is what you should see when you look at his coat
7. Does his tack fit? If there is saddle sores, find a new saddle.
If your horse has a good tempature, respiration, heart rate, weight, coat, & tack--good job! You are taking good care of your animal.

Bye for now,
L
