A word from instructor and Equine Veterinarian Dr. Gabriele Gross: “This training might save your horse’s life. In an emergency, your Veterinarian might not be able to get there in time. But time is of essence and YOU are your horse’s “first responder”. Are you relying on your barn personnel or horse caretaker to apply first aid to your horse and/or recognize what is going on? The truth is, caretakers or barn management are NOT trained in doing so. More time passes when they are informing you that something is wrong with your horse. This class and lots of video demonstration will teach you about the first response in common emergency situations, such as colic, wounds, injury assessment, tying-up, fractures, do’s and don’ts, what should be in your 911 emergency kit (do you have one ???) and much more. Take it from decades of experience of a seasoned horse vet that about 3 out of 4 horses that passed in an emergency could have been saved if the owner or caretaker took this training. Considering the money you spend on your horse, this is minor for the value provided. EVERY horse owner should have these skills. Just like a parent with children and a pool, would you not know how to save your child from the water ? YOU are the lifeguard for your horse. Your horse relies on you. It is your responsibility to keep your horse safe. Your love alone will not do it. I would love to share my skills with you, for the love of your horse.” 

Gourmet Meals are included in ticket price and are prepared by an authentic Italian gourmet chef. If you have food allergies or incompatibilities, please let us know when you buy the ticket and the restaurant will make adjustments for you). Menu see bottom of page.
