How often should the equine workload be reviewed according to EQM5 guidelines?

The frequency of reviewing the equine workload according to EQM5 guidelines is determined by the necessity based on session feedback. This approach allows for a responsive and adaptive management style where evaluation occurs in relation to the specific needs and performance of the horse after each session. By using session feedback, trainers and caregivers can assess the horse's wellbeing, performance, and readiness for subsequent work. This flexibility ensures that the workload remains appropriate and tailored to the horse's condition and capabilities, promoting optimal health and safety.

Reviewing the workload daily, weekly, or annually may not provide the timely adjustments needed based on the horse's immediate responses and evolving circumstances. Instead, focusing on when feedback is available allows for a more dynamic and individualized management strategy.
