When your horse is sick or injured, knowing what to do can make all the difference.
Have you ever gone to check your horse and she's not herself? Pawing the ground and rolling? Or your gelding comes limping up to you? Or you see your yearling with a big wound and lots of blood? You will know or can imagine that feeling of worry, stress and panic?
Logan Equine can help by equipping
you with real first aid knowledge, and the ability to
have a plan and act to do the best for your horse.
The course is suitable for all
levels of previous knowledge, from those starting out to those wanting a refresher. Everything
will be explained in easy to understand language with plenty of photos and videos too.
Whether you're in the paddock, on a trek, or at a competition, having the knowledge and confidence to handle equine emergencies can make all the difference in your horse's well-being. Introducing our practical online course: Equine First Aid Essentials.
The course is self-study to fit around your horse and other commitments but there is regular support for you to turn to if you need it.
