Rocking Star Equine First Aid
COURSES AND SCHEDULES
“Prompt and knowledgeable first aid can make all the difference in an equine emergency. Having trained horse owners who can recognize critical signs and take immediate, appropriate action until a veterinarian arrives greatly improves outcomes and supports the welfare of the horse. I have personally seen Erika teach this class, and I fully support her program and the invaluable education she provides to our equine community.”
