Horse and Pony Care by the Day, Week, Month and Year

Horse care takes time and you should have a routine of daily weekly monthly and yearly tasks to properly care for your horse. The best way to keep track of what must be done and scheduled is to keep a calendar. You will find that you will develop your own.
For example not all horses must be trimmed every six weeks. You may need trimming every five weeks or every two weeks. Some horses need their teeth checked more than once a year and some vaccinations may have to be given more than once. 

Daily Care
A visual check at very minimum once a day preferably more often is essential. Youll want to check for any sign of injury illness and check fences and other structures in your horses home for damage that could cause problems. Access to plenty of food and water is not to be neglected. 
Provide your horse with fresh clean water. Clean readily available water is essential for good horse care.
Provide your horse with adequate fodder and concentrates. If feeding hay your horse will eat approximately two to three percent of its body weight every day.
Provide adequate shelter and blanketing according to the weather. The design of your shelter whether runin shed or stable is very important for proper care. Horses need a place to get out of the wind and wet.
Do a visual check for scrapes cuts bruises and puncture wounds on your horses legs head and body. Treat any injuries promptly. You should have a horse first aid kit on hand.
Do a visual check for signs of illness such as runny eyes or noses or sounds of coughing or wheezing.
Clean your horses hooves and check for bruising or cracks or loose shoes.
Muck out the stall if your horse is stabled. Ammonia from urine and manure is harmful
