Having your horse’s health records easily accessible can help you retrieve them quickly in case of emergency. Owners should store copies of their horses’ veterinary records, Coggins tests, vaccination history, and identification photos in a waterproof binder or folder where they’re easy to find. Digital backups can also help ensure vital information is quickly available in emergencies. Stacey Cordivano, DVM, IVCA, of Clay Creek Equine Veterinary Services, in Chester County, Pennsylvania, describes the best way to store your horse’s health and identification records in this excerpt from Ask TheHorse Live.

This podcast is an excerpt of our Ask TheHorse Live Q&A, “Planning for Equine Emergencies.” Listen to the full recording here.
