How to use the checklist
- 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.
- 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.
- Record what you found, who checked it and the date. Write Not yet checked if the check still needs doing. Identify the area, item or instruction.
- For anything that needs work or an answer, record the agreed next step, person and date. Write Not agreed where an agreement is still missing.
- Record later outcomes on page three without replacing the original finding. Save the updated PDF before sharing or printing it.
