Whether you’re new to horse ownership or you have many years of experience under your belt, it’s never too late (or too soon!) to become as invested in your equine practitioner as they are in the care of your horse. Take it from us: They will truly appreciate knowing they are part of your team!

If you don’t know where to start when it comes to building a good working relationship with your veterinarian, the graphic shows an acronym that is easy to memorize and touches some of the key points that are mutual between a horse doctor and their clients:

HONESTY — the base upon which trust is built.

OPEN COMMUNICATION — be upfront about your needs, expectations, and budget; ask questions to understand your horse’s diagnosis and treatment plan; contact your primary veterinarian promptly when you suspect a health issue instead of seeking help from non-veterinarian professionals or from a different veterinarian. Most practitioners are willing to involve other colleagues if needed; they just want the chance to discuss beforehand so they can make the best recommendations.

RESPECT — be respectful of your horse doctor’s time; make judicious use of their cell phone number (e.g., don’t text or call for non-emergencies outside of hours); follow treatment recommendations; pay your bills in full and in a timely manner; address your veterinarian as doctor instead of by first name.

SAFETY — keep your veterinarian safe by teaching your horse good ground manners and to safely accept procedures; recognize the need for chemical and physical restraint when necessary.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS — ask about your veterinarian’s emergency coverage policy and have a contingency plan in the event your primary veterinarian is unavailable; have a plan to haul the horse if needed; make the necessary financial preparations to be able to cover unexpected medical expenses.

Remember: At the end of the day, both you and your veterinarian are in it because of the HORSE. ❤️

KEEP YOUR HORSE DOCTOR SAFE FROM COVID-19

As much as we would like for things to return to normal quickly, the coronavirus pandemic is still severely impacting our communities and our lives.

Situations can change very quickly because of COVID-19, and it's our collective and individual responsibility to take whatever steps in our power to mitigate the spread of the virus — including at the barn. So as veterinarians are resuming non-urgent/elective services, and horse shows and farm appointments are picking up again, please be sure to do your part to keep equine veterinarians safe as they care for your animals.

Things you can do include:

• Wearing a face mask or cloth face covering during appointments.
• Practicing social distancing (6 feet or more) whenever practical.
• Washing and disinfecting your hands frequently.
• Communicating with your veterinarian and asking about telemedicine options and biosecurity protocols.

Some helpful resources:
• CDC COVID-19 disinfection guidelines: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/cleaning-disinfection.html
• Approved disinfectants for tougher surfaces (not to be used on leather): https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2
• Equine Disease Communication Center Coronavirus fact sheet:https://aaep.org/sites/default/files/Documents/Outside%20Linked%20Documents/DiseaseFactsheet_CoronavirusFINAL%20Cobranded%20.pdf
