## Description

This MCP server provides professional tools for assessing equine health using the Henneke scale. Use `get_bcs_analysis` to calculate an overall body condition score and identify fat deposition patterns across anatomical landmarks like the neck crest, withers, and tailhead. You can also use `get_weight_plan_recommendation` to generate nutritional management plans based on current and target scores, or `list_breed_profiles` to view ideal BCS ranges for draft, stock, and light horse categories.

## Tools

### get_bcs_analysis
Calculates the overall body condition score and identifies fat deposition patterns

### get_weight_plan_recommendation
Provides a nutritional management plan based on the current BCS

### list_breed_profiles
Retrieves the expected fat distribution characteristics and ideal BCS ranges for different horse breeds

### validate_measurement_inputs
Verifies that all anatomical measurements provided are within valid Henneke ranges

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the BCS for a draft horse with a neck crest of 7, withers fat of 6, shoulder fat of 5, ribs visibility of 4, loin condition of 7, and tailhead fat of 6.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated overall BCS for this draft horse is 6.0, indicating a moderately fleshy condition with fat deposition primarily at the crest and tailhead.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the ideal BCS range for a light horse breed?
```

**Response:** 
```
Light horse breeds typically have an ideal BCS range between 4 and 5.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
My horse has a current BCS of 3 and a target BCS of 5. It weighs 450kg. What is the recommendation?
```

**Response:** 
```
The recommendation is to gain weight. You should implement a nutritional plan to increase mass to reach the target score of 5.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the Henneke scale?**
The Henneke scale is a standardized 1-9 scoring system used to assess the amount of fat and muscle on a horse to determine its body condition.

**How do I get a weight management plan?**
You can use the `get_weight_plan_recommendation` tool by providing the current BCS, the target BCS for the specific breed, and the horse's current weight.

**Does the scoring account for different horse breeds?**
Yes, the `get_bcs_analysis` tool adjusts its interpretation based on the breed type (draft, stock, or light) to account for varying fat distribution patterns.
