Action Point: Purchase an Equine Body Condition Score poster from TheHorse.com to display alongside the Horse Health Check poster.
A horse weight tape will also be an essential tool. This should be available at a local tack shop or can be ordered through Amazon.ca.
Rationale: Effectively monitoring the BCS of one’s horse(s) is an important tool in ensuring your horse is in optimal health and receiving proper nutrition. Ensuring your horse maintains a healthy BCS based on its breed, age, and workload will also play a role in detecting and preventing disease.
