Horse Side Vet Guide
HSVG provides helpful information about equine health and first-aid from the moment you notice a problem with your horse
- My Observation.It contains practical advice, suggested skills, and questions to discuss with your vet.
Horse Side Vet Guide is of value in an emergency and non-emergency, and it helps you distinguish between the two. HSVG also contains dozens of high quality instructional videos, and other media designed to enable you to become an active participant in ensuring your horse’s good health.
However, HSVG is not structured as a simple decision tree that takes you down a singular path based on your input. It is not a substitute for your local equine veterinarian. It does not, and cannot, anticipate and address all of the subtle variations and unique circumstances associated with your horse’s health. That is your veterinarian's job.
- Make better decisions about your horse’s health.
- Learn more about common ailments including colic, wounds, injuries, lameness and equine diseases.
- Learn what to do in an emergency and how to provide first-aid, when necessary.
- Increase the quality of communication between you and your equine vet.
- Follow a logical thought process for addressing any equine heath care problems.
- Utilize a quality alternative to Dr. Google.
Ok – so what is Horse Side Vet Guide exactly?
HSVG is a custom-built relational database of equine health information that contains concise information about common problems such as colic, lameness and wounds to rare diseases. Records are contained in 1 of 9 categories:
· Your Observations· Vet Diagnostics· Vet Diagnoses· Vet Treatments· Your Skills· Your Supplies· Terms & Topics· Media· Outside Resources
These records are extensively interlinked, providing a uniquely contextualized approach to any equine health issue.
We continuously add and update the records in HSVG. We have placed great emphasis on completing the MY OBSERVATIONS records first. You can find "full access" records with a keyword search, in the alphabetical browse lists, and hyperlinked inside other records. Incomplete (or "partial access") records are listed inside full access records, with no hyperlink. Many other records are hidden from view, and will be available later. After we complete a partial or hidden record we change it to "full access" and it becomes immediately available to you after the app has been synchronized to your mobile device.

This is by far the best app for horse people. While it is a little confusing at first with the many choices, just start exploring the options. You will soon figure it out. The graphics are amazing and help me understand so much more about my horse's body parts. I wish there were a printed book with these images. I would love to just sit and study the images. There are also lots of videos to show you how to do different things. This is so valuable since sometimes pictures or written descriptions can't explain it effectively. Thanks for making such a cool app.
Best app ever for quality information at your fingers when you need it. The pictures are excellent to show details of the horse's bone structure, etc.
A lot more information than I expected, which is fantastic. Easy to use and find what you are looking for. There are several subjects still being worked on, but they are really only helpful to a vet, not the layman.
Conditions well covered and easily understood. Don't see how to improve something this Good!..
User friendly and very well explained.
It's brilliant to know it is not here to rip you off as majority do but be careful it is a good help great
Too hard to use and cannot cancel.
I am a veterinarian in the process of ECFVG certification program in the US. I can't hide my excitement from finding this gem. Kudos to the team. Keep it up team! You are freaking amazing! Refund? Are you kidding me? I owe you a big donation as soon as I pass my exams and get my very first paycheck as a certified veterinarian in the United States.
"These people are hard working and passionate about horses. If you can't find the information you are looking for, I can tell you, that, these people can help you! This is a GREAT on the go app! "
This app is useful whether you have one horse or manage a barn. It's packed with easy to understand information on horse care, illness, injury, worming, first aid supplies, etc. Very comprehensive. Treat yourself or call the vet? This app helps you make that determination.
Fast answers to most urgent questions and points me in the right direction as to whether I need a vet immediately or if I can manage without.
This is a great guide. It's practical, sensible, and, so far as I can tell, accurate. The author is a veterinarian. It's as good or better than most printed reference works on horse health and first aid.
Can't even begin to explain how much I love this app♡
Every horse owner should have this app, it's packed with info and new info is periodically added! Love it!
Used as a guide and learned things as well. Great for a refresher as well.
Best app ever
This app has lots of great info, some general , some very specific. Its easy to use, I've only had it a week and I've looked up lots of interesting things. Obviously it does not replace a vet, but has good information and is presented in an easy to use format. I like the option to keep specifics about your horse and how to do general horse health checks. Really glad I got this app!
So, I know now that I should have read the fine print. after buying and installing your app, I wanted to see how to find the pulse on the leg... no pics. finally figure out the only pics you have or any media is a pic of the eye that you use on your advertisement on the app store, a pic of the sole of the food and a bump on a leg (not a good pic either). It says you will get this up and running on the app sometime. well I paid for it, I want it... I don't understand why a smart phone app doesn't have the same videos and pictures on your website. It's a smart phone for goodness sakes. I'd have been better off just looking at the website on my phone, OHHHH but I got the app so I would have the info at my fingertips INSIDE the barn that doesn't get good enough connection to the cell phone towers to view websites...... NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER AND LEAVING THIS AS A NOT SO NICE REVIEW TOO! Does it have good info in print form, sorta, if the person can read through it all, understand it when under pressure and is good at visualizing instructions, which not everyone is good at.
I've only had this app installed about a week and a half and its already paid for itself. Every horse owner regardless of experience should have it.
Great resource for anyone interested in the care of a horse's health as well as many equine medical issues. Lots of helpful and detailed anatomical charts, skills/procedure videos, and educational text to help increase your skills.
It's a great way to learn the new techniques in medical terms of the horse and the parts of the horse and how they work and how you can improve your riding skills whether it's dressage hunter jumper or barrel racing
I like having so much info at my fingertips . A quick reference when the Vet or Farrier come .
Love it!
Easy to navigate; can search by diagnoses, clinical observations and more. Helpful picture links to keep all things equine straight in your head!
4 stars, 5 if it had a place to keep your own horses' info, like baseline vitals so you know where to start, if you think something is wrong.
It stops all the time and have reported it but nothing has been done to fix the problem not worth the money for something you can never use
Finally figured out how to download this (I'm app challenged!) and so glad I did!
New update crashes...please fix. Would like to use this app, especially after having to paying the $4.00 or $5.00...thank you.
I use this app all the time! I especially love the media section, with diagrams, pictures, and videos. I would recommend it for anyone entrusted with the care of horses!
The app does not work fully. It is not updated for newer Android phones and there is no upgrade. I reinstalled it and it still will not show me any illustrations or videos, only blank screens. Also, the app wants access to your contacts and media which I do not understand. This app should not be asking for your contacts. I'm glad I didn't spend more on this or would have pursued a refund.
