Do You Know Your Horse’s Normal? An In-Person Workshop

Hands-On Horse Workshop • Iron Giants Draft Horse Rescue

Have you ever noticed something different about a horse and wondered whether it matters?

Join Dr. Lynne Wimmer for a welcoming, hands-on workshop that begins with one simple question:

What does normal look like for this horse?

Every horse develops patterns. The more familiar you become with those everyday patterns, the easier it becomes to notice when something changes. Together, we’ll practice observing the clues a horse gives us every day.

Know the pattern. Notice the change.

A horse doesn’t need to look dramatically ill before something deserves attention. Learning an individual horse’s everyday patterns gives you a meaningful point of comparison.

What We’ll Explore

Learn what to notice, what to track, and how to describe changes clearly.

The Horse in Front of You

Vital signs • facial expression • comfort

What Goes In and What Comes Out

Appetite • hydration • digestion • urine • manure

How the Horse Moves and Looks

Movement • mobility • weight • body condition • skin • coat • feet • hooves

Patterns Around the Horse

Behavior • temperament • environment • seasonal changes

You’ll also explore which changes deserve closer observation and how your observations provide useful information when it’s time to contact your veterinarian.

Today’s observations become tomorrow’s clues.

Come Curious. No Veterinary Training Needed.

This workshop focuses on observation, awareness, and communication. Come ready to look more closely, ask questions, and practice skills you can continue using with the horses in your care.
