Service Description
Do you know when to call the vet? What is an emergency and what can you take care of on your own? In this Horse First Aid class, you'll learn how to calmly asses a situation and how to recognize the signs of needing to call a vet. We will go over what a normal TPR is (and what it is!), normal gut sounds and common injuries. Students will get to practice safely taking the horses TPR, bandaging and wrapping a leg and what to do in an emergency situation. We will cover colic, choke, leg injuries, eye injuries and common lamenesses. If you have horses, or plan to have horses, this class is for you! This class is also encouraged to further students HorseSense learning on the ground. We will be working in a heated barn, however, please dress for the weather.
