🚨Attention FEI Trainers & Riders! 🚨

🗓️ As of February 2025, FEI has rolled out a new HorseApp module to track and register Influenza vaccinations.

Here’s what you need to know:

📒Passport Requirement: The vet must have the horse’s passport at the time of the vaccine. They will take a photo of the vaccination record and upload it to the app for tracking.

💉Vaccine must be entered into the passport at time of administration, with the horse and passport present.

❎Rescheduling: If the passport isn’t available at the time of the vaccine, the appointment will need to be rescheduled.

This change helps improve the tracking of influenza vaccinations for FEI horses, and we appreciate your cooperation in making the process run smoothly. Thanks for your patience! 🐴💙

This 20 year old retired thoroughbred gelding was seen for a routine annual power float earlier this winter. It had been about a year since his mouth had been examined by a veterinarian. 🦷🪥

What’s your diagnosis? 👀
