If we notice some worrying symptomsm6ec87562bc49cb06_1518000304132_0symptoms in a horse, first we need to contact a veterinarian and tell them the horse’s vital parametersm6ec87562bc49cb06_1518000321099_0vital parameters.
Temperature To measure the horse's temperature, insert the thermometerm6ec87562bc49cb06_1518003112863_0thermometer into the anus and check the result after about 3 minutes. Ideally, it would be a veterinary thermometer that can be clipped to the tail with a twine. If it's a different thermometer, hold it by the tip all the time so it will not get pulled in. The correct horse's temperature should oscillate within 37.5ºC‑38.5ºC, and in foals it can be as much as 39ºC. A feverm6ec87562bc49cb06_1518003131090_0fever may indicate inflammationm6ec87562bc49cb06_1518003145489_0inflammation, infection, or weakness of the horse.
Heart rate Heart rate is measured by listening to the heart (behind the elbow, on the left side) or in the proximity of the facial artery (under the jaw, on the bone). The correct restingm6ec87562bc49cb06_1518004100646_0resting heart rate of a horse should oscillate within 24 - 45 beats per minute. Accelerated heart rate might indicate strokem6ec87562bc49cb06_1518005209590_0stroke, pain, nervousness.
Breaths The number of breaths per minute is checked by listening to the larynx or observing the movement of the chest and nostrils. Correctly, the horse should take 8 to 16 breaths per minute, breathe calmly and deeply. Accelerated breathing may indicate dyspnea, allergic reactionm6ec87562bc49cb06_1518005346365_0allergic reaction or problems with circulationm6ec87562bc49cb06_1518005367686_0circulation.
Evaluation of mucous membranesm6ec87562bc49cb06_1518005387058_0mucous membranes We perform the assessment by checking the colour and humidity of the gums and the capillary timem6ec87562bc49cb06_1518005403286_0capillary time. The gums should be moist and pale pink, but when pressed, they should return to their original colour in about 2 seconds.

Please check if the horses are standing on dry ground. * holding horses when stables give them dewormingm6ec87562bc49cb06_1518013462733_0deworming paste.

Again, I request that you hold the horses for him.
And one more thing. If you see something worrying - strange‑looking abrasions, swelling, cracks on the hooves, etc. - please inform the grooms immediately. If you have any questions, call me.
Kind Regards, Marek Nowak horse breeding technician, apprenticeship supervisor
