Run the Barn B morning stable routine

What is going on

It is 3:30 am on 11 September 2026 and you have twelve boxes in Barn B. The Trackwork and Stable Roster shows Coastal Ember on fast work with Sam Vandenberg, Kestrel Comet swimming, and Tarrawarra Gold still in isolation yard 2. Kirra Donnelly, the Stable Foreman, expects every horse fed, checked, mucked out and gear laid out before the first horse goes to the track at 4:30 am. Kestrel Comet is on a daily omeprazole course, and one horse in your barn left half its feed last night. Stewards may inspect the stables this month, so records have to be right the first time.

Your brief

Complete the morning routine for Barn B to the written procedures: feed to the program, carry out and record welfare checks in the Horse Register, prepare horses and gear in the order of the roster, report any concern to the Stable Foreman and record the omeprazole dose in the Treatment and Medication Log.

Work through it

You do not need to do it all. Doing a few of these will show you what the work is like. Your ticks and notes stay on this device.

• Read the Trackwork Operations Procedure and the feeding section of the Horse Welfare Policy and list the checks you must complete before any horse leaves the barn.
• Open the Trackwork and Stable Roster for 11 September, identify the order horses go out, and prepare the gear listed for Coastal Ember and Kestrel Comet.
• Make up the morning feeds for the twelve horses to their programs in the Horse Register and note which feeds are held until after fast work.
• Carry out a welfare check on each horse (legs, feet, feed left, demeanour) and update the last welfare check date and notes in the Horse Register.
• Record the daily omeprazole dose for Kestrel Comet in the Treatment and Medication Log as an ongoing course entry before giving it.
• Report the horse that left feed to the Stable Foreman, record what you observed in the Horse Register, and explain what you would watch for over the morning.
• Complete the rider report field in the Trackwork and Stable Roster for one horse after work, using the report given to you by the rider.
• Check the isolation rules in the Biosecurity and Disease Control Policy and describe how you handle gear and boots between isolation yard 2 and Barn B.
