Save Your Horse!

Michelle Staples, author of Save Your Horse! A Horse Owners Guide to Large Animal Rescue, and the new “horse basics” CDRom, Horse Awareness and Safety. Available now at www.redjeansink.com/catalog.html and THE large animal rescue website, www.saveyourhorse.com

Designed to be used as an on-site resource for responders who do not understand horses and are unfamiliar with LAR training, SAVE YOUR HORSE! is a handy guide on a vital subject that details step-by-step procedures for extricating your horse from life-threatening entrapment and gives specific information on how to get the job done safely.

HORSE AWARENESS AND SAFETY has two sections: a Powerpoint presentation, followed by a hands-on class using live horses. It teaches horse handling, behavior, and first aid, as well as scene safety and assessment and barn fire safety. The perfect introduction to horses for your responders!

Michelle is a horse safety specialist, EMT, teaches several different classes, and has been a guest speaker at Equine Guelph  (University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada).  She is involved with Standardbred Rescue in California, USA, and lives there with her husband and critters, including two rescued Standardbreds.
