The recent outbreaks of Equine Herpes Virus were the driving force behind the creation of The Equine Health Kit. Our founder, Amber Minson, is a lifelong equestrian. She wanted to help other horse people and horses institute proper health monitoring. Amber grew up with a passion for horses. She started working at the local barn in order to fund lessons and riding opportunities. She did everything from cleaning tack to assisting the veterinarian. Hard work and dedication gave her the opportunity to work in the United States and Europe for Olympic level riders and trainers. The horses working at the Olympic level are closely monitored to ensure they are in peak condition. Monitoring vital signs, such as the temperature, is a key element of the management program. She brings a lifetime of experience in the care and management of top tier horses to The Equine Health Kit. The Equine Health Kit is a made for the love of a horses.
Equine Herpes Virus is a highly infectious virus that can be deadly to horses. The virus is typically passed between horses by nose to nose contact. However, the virus can be transmitted on surfaces such as stalls, tack, paddocks and clothes. To ensure the the health and well being of your horse, monitoring vital signs such as the temperature and heart rate is key. Many competitons and barns now require a temperature log in order to enter the facility. The Equine Health Kit provides everything needed to successfully monitor the temperature of your horse on a daily basis.
We love to hear about our friend's horses. We look forward to hearing from you.
