“Collecting and recording consistent information on a particular horse is perhaps the most important component of a PFCP. The data have immediate value, as they assist in determining the horse’s current needs. When the assessment is repeated at a later time, it yields even more valuable data, as comparisons can be made between the current and previous assessment, which assists the veterinarian and farrier in making both immediate decisions and long-range plans for that horse. When results from several horses are compared, these data also help document trends that may be occuring in a particular veterinary practice or farriery business.”
