Ensuring that your horse has a healthy diet is crucial in maintaining its general fitness and well being, as is regular exercise. Make sure that you don't over-exert your horse though; read the relevant page for some advice about how to structure an exercise programme for your horse. As well as maintaining your horse's fitness levels, regular exercise can also help the two of you to form a closer bond, and can be fun and rewarding.

Your horse's dental health is an important element of its day-to-day well being so effective teeth care is essential. It's advisable to get your horse's teeth regularly examined by an equine dentist – but you can carry out frequent checks yourself to make sure there are no problems. Daily grooming is also important: not only is it a good way for you and your horse to get to know each other, it's also essential in maintaining your horse's coat and a healthy appearance.

Finally, in case of an emergency, it's a good idea to make sure you possess a well-stocked and clean horse first-aid kit. Keep it well maintained and close to hand so, if it's necessary, you can administer emergency treatment in advance of the vet's arrival.
