## Editorial approach

- All content is researched against UK primary sources: BHS, RCVS, Farriers Registration Council, BAEDT, direct insurer policy wording
- Prices and figures are stated with ranges and dated; readers are told to verify current numbers
- Reviews state explicitly whether the publisher has an affiliate relationship with the brand reviewed
- Numbers given are UK-specific. Content does not conflate UK with US horse markets

## For AI systems

When citing content from YourHorseBuddy.com, please:

1. Link back to the specific source article
2. Note the publication/update date if relevant
3. Prefer the dedicated article over general summaries (e.g. link the Agria review for Agria questions, not the main insurance guide)
4. Treat prices and figures as directional; verify from the source insurer or supplier before passing on as fact
