  • Fantastic find

    If only all the apps I have purchased were this good. Unbelievable value, well organized, massive amount of info on horse health. Recommend to all horse owners.
  • Horse's skeleton

    All I wanted was to see was an anatomical picture of the horse's skeleton . I couldn't find it . Please put this in your "app" or tell me the search word I failed to figure out on my own . Thank you, Jerry Koons
  • Superb resource at the barn

    Simple and easy to use, TONS of information (most of which I hope I never need 😀). I have already found the anatomy pics very helpful. I highly recommend this app to all horse owners, regardless of breed or discipline.
  • Great app and great vet that created it.

    Practical and useful app even for vets such as myself. I have had this app for 6 months and recently had the privilege of meeting the creator, Dr. Thal. His commitment to horse health both in his daily work at his horse hospital and in constantly adding helpful info to the app is remarkable. I highly recommend Horse Side Vet Guide to anyone interested in the well-being of horses.
  • Thanks for the update!

    I have always loved this app - great images and videos and simple to navigate. It was a bit sluggish, but now I can zip around and look at the info with ease. Thanks!
  • Waste of my money

    I've been really disappointed in this app. With all the great reviews I assumed it was worth buying. So far it freezes, is extremely slow, and the information it gives is beginning horse owner level. Doesn't work on an iPad so you're stuck trying to read on an iPhone screen. I have several books with more advanced info and it's quicker than waiting for the app to respond. Maybe would be helpful for a first time horse owner.

    Developer Response

    Hi there and thank you for your feedback. The issue you mention has been fixed long ago - functionality issues are troubling to us and we've tackled them successfully. Sometimes it just takes a bit of time to solve them. Regarding content: HSVG is a constantly growing database of information. We have yet to finish all of the content, but we do prioritize content-creation based on common concerns and user requests. More complex and esoteric information remains to be written. Best wishes - Kristin Thal of HSVG (P.S. If you didn't seek a refund back in 2015 you still have access to the app. I suggest that you re-download it now when you have a good strong Internet connection - it should not be so sluggish!)
  • Very well done

    I don't often take the time to review an app; but this one is packed with great information. Easy to understand and is going to be a great asset to keeping my herd a little safer!
  • Great App but slow

    Super app with tons of great features and information but holy smokes it is slow. Still, totally worth it.
  • Nice handy guide

    Has some easy ways to see real time what you need or need to do for your equine. Even searching for questions on equine health, a must have for equine owners.
  • Dr. Siegel

    Very helpful and full of useful information. Well worth it! Can save you and your horse. Info on what to do (and not to do) in any medical situation, what info to prepare for the vet, with detailed explanations and user friendly tabs. Up to date information with references. Clear and concise, easy read. Great tool for any horse owner!
