TERMS AND CONDITIONS

WHAT IS THE HEALTHY HORSE CLUB?
Prevention is better than cure! The Healthy Horse Club covers the main preventative health issues of your horse to ensure a long and happy life. The Healthy Horse Club does not cover treatment for unexpected illnesses or accidents – you will need an insurance policy to be covered for these eventualities.

Please refer to the leaflet to confirm what is included in the Healthy Horse Club package you have chosen. It is your responsibility to ensure that you receive the all the benefits included in the Healthy Horse Club.

On signing up you will receive a worming pack that includes:

• 6 Small faecal pots to bring your worm egg count (WEC) samples in (we require 2 filled pots for each sample)
• 2 x Tapeworm Saliva test, including the unique barcode and pre-paid envelope to send away. If the tests indicate worming treatment is required this will be at an extra cost. 

You will receive a text when it is time to bring the WEC kits in to the surgery. These need to be handed in by 4pm in order for the laboratory to run the tests. The results will be reported within 2 working days.

You will also receive a text when it is time to carry out the Saliva test. The test is a complete package with saliva sticks to send away yourself. The results are then emailed back to the surgery and we will report directly to yourselves. These results can take up to 10 working days.

On the Leisure plans, the annual booster and oral examination will be carried out at one visit all included on the plan.

The Competition plans, Includes two visits a year;

• The first to carry out a flu booster, full oral exam, soundness exam and the annual blood screen. The blood screen is for baseline levels only. They are carried out in house and any further testing will be chargeable.
• The second to carry out the second flu booster, and 6 monthly soundness check.

Health plans are non-transferable between horses.

All Healthy Horse Club plans are payable by an annual or monthly payment via direct debit only.
