Equine Matters - Summer 2015

23 / 24

Horse And Rider First Aid
Horse and rider first aid is a full-day
workshop, consisting of two parts - one is
first aid for your horse, as detailed above
and the second is rider specific first aid,
delivered by Medi-K. The rider first aid
session is a must do for all horse owners
and will give you the confidence to
provide immediate first aid to an injured
rider and will dispel the myths about
helmet removal, casualty movement and
what it takes to actually save a life. This is
not your everyday first aid training!
How Horses Learn
How horses learn is another full-day
workshop focussed on how horses think
and learn. You are encouraged to bring
your own horse along to this workshop.
This workshop is for all horses, not just
those with specific training issues, it will
allow you and your horse to work better
together to improve performance and
have a happier, calmer horse and rider.
Old Friends And Saying
Goodbye
Old friends and saying goodbye is a
half-day workshop aiming to help you
care for horses and ponies in their twilight
years. Learn about common conditions
we begin to see in old age and how you
can recognise the subtle signs early and
keep your veteran in tiptop condition.
This workshop will also give you an insight
into saying goodbye and dealing with
the loss of a much-loved family friend, an
important subject that is often overlooked.
