Horse care reminder planner
It's easy to lose track of when the farrier last came or when the next worming is due. Enter your horse's last visit dates and this planner works out when each job is next due, then gives you a calendar file (.ics) to add to Google, Apple or Outlook calendar. The suggested intervals come from Agriculture Victoria's basic horse care guidance, and you can change any of them. Vaccinations are set by you, because your vet decides what your horse needs and how often. The planner is a reminder tool, not a substitute for your vet, dentist or farrier.
Next due
Enter a last-done date to see when each job is next due.
The calendar file covers the next 12 months (0 dates), each with a reminder 2 days before. Email reminders are switched off.

This tool gives an estimate only. It is general information, not veterinary, nutrition, legal or tax advice. Every horse and every situation is different. Check with your vet, equine dentist, farrier or a registered tax agent before you act on the result.
