When your horse has a free* test through the Care About Cushing’s scheme, your horses result will automatically be uploaded to your “My Yard” directly by the laboratory who tested the blood sample. It can take up to 4 weeks for test results to be uploaded. (Please note that the Care About Cushing’s team, nor your vet practice upload results)

If your horse has had a test outside of the Care About Cushing’s scheme, then you can manually upload the result to your “My Yard” yourself, so that you can continue to track your horses progress.
