Available Classes
Your horses’ lives are in your hands and they rely on you completely for their health and welfare. In an emergency, do you know what information to give your veterinarian and what to do before your vet arrives or you transport your horse to the clinic? Can you take your horse’s vital signs? Can you do basic wound care? Do you know how to cover an eye injury? Can you recognize signs of illness? Do you have an equine first aid kit? Do you how to trailer your horses safely? If you can’t answer all of these questions with a definitive “Yes!” for all the situations that might arise, then Equine Emergency First Aid training is exactly what you need. Are you fully prepared for a disaster – flood, fire, hurricane…? If not, the Disaster Planning & Emergency Preparedness course is for you. Host barns receive complimentary trainings, hosting non-profits receive donations.
