Equine Health
& Emergency First Aid
Get ready to use your visual, auditory, reading & writing, and kinesthetic skills! No matter what skill level you are, or what type of learning style you excel at, we at HoPE will teach you something new!
This is our most comprehensive course! Jam-packed with so much information!
This class is intended to help people know what to do immediately following an emergency that happens either close to home, or at home. The intention is to help you feel comfortable with handling the situation. We cover preventative measures, pain source identification, stretching, how to properly take vitals and identifying what is normal vs. abnormal, basic wound care (bandaging), identifying when to call the vet and knowing what information to gather before that call, eye injuries, bites & stings, seizure, how to right a cast horse, shock, poison, burns, lameness/hoof issues, nosebleed, choke, collapse, heat exhaustion, shock and identifying signs of colic. Even the most seasoned horse people have told us they found this class valuable.
This course is a pre-requisite to the Advanced First Aid Remote/Wilderness course and the Advanced First Aid Local/Competitive course.
Equine-First Aid's required price for this course is $159.00 US dollars.
All attendees receive a certificate of completion and a 50+ page First Aid manual to keep in your first-aid kit.
* Some hosts may require a Facility fee in addition to HoPE’s tuition, and/or may offer the opportunity to purchase a meal for lunch.
