“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.”
