While You Wait For The Vet: The Horse Owner's Emergency Plan, Record Book, and Action Guide

By Topline Performance

When something goes wrong with your horse, panic can take over fast.

A sudden injury. Signs of colic. Trouble breathing. An eye problem. A horse that will not bear weight. A wound that looks worse by the minute.

In those moments, most owners have the same terrifying question:

What do I do while I wait for the veterinarian?

While You Wait for the Vet is a practical emergency action guide designed to help horse owners stay calm, recognize serious warning signs, communicate clearly with their veterinarian, and make safer decisions when every minute matters.

This is not a complicated veterinary textbook-and it is not a replacement for professional care. It is a straightforward, easy-to-use resource built for real barns, real emergencies, and real horse owners who want to be prepared before something happens.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Recognize warning signs that should never be ignoredKnow when it is time to call the veterinarian immediatelyGather the information your veterinarian may needMonitor and record important changesHandle an injured, frightened, or painful horse more safelyPrepare for emergency transportationBuild a veterinarian-approved first-aid kitCreate emergency plans for fires, storms, trailer accidents, and evacuationsOrganize medical records, contacts, medications, and insurance informationAvoid common mistakes that can make an emergency worse

The book also includes practical forms, checklists, observation sheets, emergency-contact pages, transportation plans, and barn-preparedness tools you can use before, during, and after a crisis.

Because emergencies do not wait until you feel ready.

They happen at night, during bad weather, on the road, at competitions, and when help may still be miles away.

You may not be able to prevent every emergency-but you can prevent panic, confusion, and wasted time.

Every horse owner should have a plan before they need one.

Keep this guide in your barn, trailer, tack room, or emergency kit.

You may hope you never need it.

But when you do, you will be glad it is there.
