About the Instructor
Since the day I bought my first horse, I wanted to learn everything I could to keep my horse happy, healthy and safe. I'm passionate about teaching these courses and hope to pass along the knowledge and skills they contain. It is incredibly empowering to know what to do before the vet arrives, especially with the equine vet shortage in this country.

About Equi-First Aid USA
Equi-First Aid USA began in 2007, after a group of Veterinarians and horse professionals identified the need for horse owners to have the same "first-responder skills" for their animals, as humans have for each other through their Red Cross training.
We provide Veterinarian-designed and monitored courses in equine health and emergency first aid, basic first aid for kids, advanced first aid, wilderness first aid, and our newest course - The backcountry horseman's condensed guide to equine emergencies.
​* Please note that our courses are NOT designed to replace Veterinarian care but should be used in conjunction with your Veterinarian*
Our courses are recognized for continuing education credits with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, EAGALA, Equestrian Canada, various state associations of veterinary technicians, and more.
