Equine Veterinary Examination Form Template

Document every equine exam — vitals, conformation, soundness, dental — on one mobile form you can complete in the barn aisle and email to the owner before you leave.

A working examination form built for ambulatory equine vets. It walks through signalment, vitals, body systems, lameness grading, dental notes, and recommended follow-up, then attaches the owner signature and any photos taken during the visit.

Why use a equine veterinary examination form?

Most ambulatory equine vets still finish exams the same way: a clipboard balanced on a tack trunk, half-legible notes about the off-fore, and a promise to "email the report tonight" that turns into next Tuesday. By then the owner has already called twice, and the trainer has texted three times asking whether the horse is sound to ship. A digital examination form fixes that loop. You work through the same systems you always do — TPR, mucous membranes, capillary refill, cardiac and pulmonary auscultation, GI sounds, conformation, flexion tests — but each entry is timestamped, photo-anchored, and synced the moment you have signal. The owner gets a clean PDF before your truck leaves the driveway. It also covers the awkward cases. A pre-purchase exam where the buyer is in another state. A lameness workup that needs to live in the horse's file forever because litigation might be coming. A wellness check on a 22-year-old retiree where the owner needs the recommendations written down because they will forget half of what you said over coffee.

Key features of this equine veterinary examination form template

Everything you need to launch this form in minutes, share it with your team, and collect submissions reliably.

1

AAEP-style lameness grading

Built-in 0-5 grading dropdown with space for affected limb, gait, and surface. Matches what you would write on paper, but stays searchable later.

2

Photos pinned to findings

Snap a photo of the swelling on the left fore or the cap tooth on tooth 306 and attach it to the exact field. The image lives with the note, not in a separate camera roll.

3

Pre-purchase mode

The exam-type dropdown swaps in extra fields — intended use, buyer name, soundness summary — so the same template handles a $2,000 trail horse and a six-figure jumper without two separate forms.

4

Owner signature on the tablet

Hand them the iPad before you load up the truck. The signed PDF is in their inbox by the time they walk back to the house.

5

Offline-friendly in the barn aisle

Most farms have one bar of LTE in one corner of the indoor. The form caches entries locally and uploads the moment a signal comes back.

6

Repeat client memory

When you pull up the form for a horse you have seen before, prior notes populate as reference so you can compare today's findings to last spring without digging through email.

Perfect for

Ambulatory equine practitioners, sport-horse vets running pre-purchase exams, racetrack practice associates, university teaching hospitals documenting student-led exams, equine dental technicians coordinating with the supervising DVM, breeding farm vets doing repro workups, and rescue organizations intaking horses that need a baseline record before adoption.

Ways to use this template

Pre-purchase exams for sport horses

Document soundness, conformation, and any pre-existing conditions in a record that holds up if the sale goes sideways. The signed PDF is timestamped and stored, which matters when a buyer comes back six months later about a suspensory.

Routine wellness and vaccination visits

Capture body condition, dental wear, and vaccine history in one pass. Owners get a tidy summary instead of a verbal recap they will forget by dinner.

Lameness workups

Grade the lameness, note flexion test responses, and attach video of the trot-up. The next associate to see the horse opens the file and knows exactly where you left off.

Repro exam tracking

Adapt the form for stallion soundness checks or mare cycle monitoring by editing the fields with an AI prompt. The structure stays familiar so the tech does not have to relearn anything.

Rescue intake exams

New arrivals get a baseline record — weight, BCS, dental age, obvious pathology, photos of any markings — that the foster home and adopter both receive. Reduces "we were never told about this" disputes downstream.

Racetrack regulatory exams

Capture pre-race soundness checks in a format that satisfies stewards and stays auditable. Each entry carries the vet's license number and a signature.

Workflow integrations

Connect this form to your existing tools with no middleware. Every submission triggers your workflow automatically.

Why choose Flexform?

Most equine practice software was designed for clinic-bound small-animal vets and bolted onto a horse workflow after the fact. FlexForm starts from the opposite direction: a form you can fill out one-handed in a stall, with the other hand on a lead rope. The template ships with the fields most equine vets use, but you can change any of it by describing what you want in plain English — "add a flexion test grid for each limb" or "split the dental field into incisors, cheek teeth, and wolf teeth" — and the AI rewrites the form for you. Each completed exam can drop straight into your practice routine: Google Sheets for the running case log your tech keeps, a Slack message to the office manager when a follow-up needs scheduling, an email to the owner with the signed PDF attached. The share link works without anyone installing an app — useful when the buyer for a pre-purchase exam is three time zones away and just needs to see the signed report. If you run a larger practice with a custom mobile app for your associates, FlexForm exposes the same form through a Kotlin Multiplatform SDK that drops into Android and iOS native code, so the form your senior vet uses on the iPad and the form your tech uses on the Pixel are the same form, recorded in the same place. And the free plan covers a solo practice doing a few dozen exams a month before any payment is involved.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace my full practice management software?

No, and it is not trying to. Think of it as the field-side intake and exam record. Most practices export the PDF and attach it to whatever PMS they already use — Avimark, ezyVet, Hippocrates — so the billing and scheduling stay where they are.

Can I customize the lameness scale or add flexion tests?

Yes. Open the AI editor and describe what you want — "add a 6-cell flexion grid, one row per limb, columns for distal and proximal" — and the form rebuilds. You do not need to touch any settings panels.

Will it work without cell signal in the back paddock?

Entries cache locally on the device. When the browser sees signal again the form syncs. It is not magic, so if you finish the exam and immediately close the tab without any signal, that is a problem — but normal in-and-out reception is handled fine.

How does the owner signature work?

A signature field renders on the device. The owner signs with a finger or stylus, you submit, and the PDF includes their signature embedded above the printed name. It holds up for routine documentation; for litigation-grade signatures most practices add a witness line.

Can the completed form auto-email the owner?

Yes. In the form settings, enable the email integration and map the owner email field as the recipient. The PDF is attached automatically, usually within a minute of submission.

I have an in-house mobile app for my associates. Can I embed this?

There is a Kotlin Multiplatform SDK for native Android and iOS. The same form definition powers the share link and the embedded native version, so you do not maintain two copies.

Is there a cost?

The free plan covers solo practices and most small ambulatory practices comfortably. Paid plans add higher submission volumes, advanced integrations, and team collaboration if you outgrow it.

How do I share the form for a pre-purchase buyer who is out of state?

Copy the share link from the dashboard and text or email it. The buyer opens it in any browser, sees the report once you submit, and can sign electronically if you have them listed as the form recipient.
