certified in human first aid! All Equine First Aid courses are hands on with horses and cover:

Pain detection, pain prevention

ollapse, choke
Is your saddle hurting your horses back? What's normal and what's not normal for your horse
What your vet needs to know when you call with an emergency


Also - you will receive a first aid manual that includes:

What's Abnormal/What’s Normal (+Vital signs chart),Wounds,
Bandaging, Collapse. Poison, Burns, Lameness, Nail puncture,
Interference, Wrapping legs, Colic, Choke, Eye Injuries, Nose Bleed, Stings and
Bites, Heat Stroke, First Aid Supplies needed...First Aid and More! Course Overview

Through a number of different hands-on and powerpoint demonstrations, students
will learn and go through a series of specific techniques for working with active medical problems a horse may have - from wound care, both pre- and post-vet visit, eye wash, digestive distress issues including colic, breathing issues and common foot conditions horse owners may have to encounter. Prevention is also as important as knowing all the first aid procedures, and knowing a
horse's vital signs is a huge part of this. You will learn, hands-on, how to take a full set of vital signs, so you, along with your vet will know sooner rather than later that something is wrong with your horses overall health condition. Sulis Method

A series of different exercises are introduced to first determine if a horse is
operating under any physical pain. Nearly 60% of all horses operate under some degree of back pain all the time. This is especially true for 80-90% of all school horses. Demonstrations are then given on different techniques to detect pain, stretch, and to assist a horse in relieving tension to prepare him or her for work. In several small groups everyone will take turns practicing all these different techniques with live horses, as assisted and guided by the course instructor. Live Horse Practice

Students will be divided off into smaller groups and given different medical scenarios that require emergency first aid treatment. This will be with live horses. Through these different situations students will find a level of comfort where they feel they can handle any emergency medical situation.
