What is included

  • Individual checks for the usual water supply, an agreed backup supply, drinkers and exposed pipes.
  • Checks for lighting, access, drainage, muddy areas, shelter, feed storage and equipment repairs.
  • Current care instructions, supply contacts and confirmed cover if weather disrupts the usual arrangements.
  • Fillable checkboxes and writing spaces for findings, agreed actions and actual outcomes. Save your completed copy or print it.

How to use the checklist

  1. Download the three-page PDF. Open it in a PDF app that supports form fields, or print it. Use one copy for one horse and yard.
  2. Mark whether each check applies. Yes does not mean it has been checked. Use To confirm if you are unsure; an empty choice means nothing has been recorded.
  3. Record what you found, who checked it and the date. Write Not yet checked if the check still needs doing. Identify the water point, route, store or item concerned.
  4. Agree who will handle each repair, missing supply or open question, and any date for that work. Write Not agreed where an agreement is still missing.
  5. Record later outcomes on page three without replacing the original finding. Save the updated PDF before sharing or printing it.

Only text visible inside a box will print; each line break uses space. If a box is full, continue in a separate blank copy of this PDF, using the same horse and checklist reference. Do not duplicate a page within the PDF. On paper, use another printed copy of the relevant page. Save and reopen your completed files to check that every line is visible before sharing or printing them.
