World Horse Welfare membership with insurance gives you peace of mind for the horses you love while helping the world’s most vulnerable horses.

Download our interactive annual health plan to create a bespoke health plan to meet your horses’ individual needs and help keep track of what needs to be done and when. This plan can be completed using a smart device, saved to a laptop/desktop or can be printed. It has been designed to log vet and practitioner visits over the course of a year and can be started at any point in the year.  

World Horse Welfare’s Annual Horse Health Plan is an excellent tool for ensuring your horse or pony enjoys good health and welfare.  Used alongside their advice pages, it will help you to identify any concerns early and enable you to take remedial action before things get worse.  As vets, we often only see a snapshot of a horse or pony’s health and the records within this plan enable us to review the annual healthcare with you at vaccination time.”

Chris Tufnell, FRCVS, Coach House Vets Ltd.

  • Dental visits

  • Musculoskeletal practitioner visits
