“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.”

“Erika was knowledgeable and set an appropriate pace of instruction, allowing time for questions and sharing of information. Her friendly demeanor made for a fun and informative clinic.” - Linda

“I have taken other horse training classes and attended many hands-on clinics. This class is by far one of the most important classes to be taken. The approach and knowledge you will walk away with will not be matched! “- Brian & Rayen

“The course was well run, covered topics that were very relevant to horse ownership and care and allowed valuable hands-on practice for both me and my teen daughter. We highly recommend all horse owners to take this class. We feel better prepared to handle minor injuries or issues and know when to call the vet. Thank you!” - Andrea

“I really enjoyed taking this course. I really found it beneficial to take this course back-to-back to the First Aid Class.” - Crystal

“Erika needs a raise! More classes in our area!” -Nicki

“Erika, she was absolutely amazing!” - Susan

“Erika made the class very enjoyable! She kept me engaged through the entire course. I loved the hands-on experience. Very useful information.” -Kaelyn

“The hands-on training. The core participant group. The ease and friendliness that Erika projected. The “everyone wins” attitude amongst the group. The location was terrific.” -Julie

'“The Hands-On part was my favorite. If we had trouble with one of the scenarios Erika made sure we had the help.” -Christina

“There are so many positives, so I’ll list them all!

Erika is a fun instructor; she effectively weaved her own experiences into the presentation. She kept the class engaged throughout!

The course of instruction is well laid out, and the first aid handbooks are a great reference.

The venue of our class, Varian Equestrian Center, is a marvelous place and they even provided us a calm and patient horse as our practice subject. Jubilation, you truly are the BEST HORSE EVER!” -Rick

“Getting to do hands on dressings and the training actions (such as taking a pulse and getting respirations) with a horse, that really helped to integrate the instructions with the actions needed.” -Vicki

“All the training was very relevant, and Erika presented the material very well and made the class enjoyable. The material and information can’t be learned without practice and support from experts like Erika and we had multiple opportunities to learn the material and application. I would recommend this class to anyone with a horse but especially those that venture outside the arena on trail rides.” -Omar

Great job Erika! - Tracy
