Horsham and District Equestrian Sports Club, HDESC, is offering horse first-aid and emergency-management clinics to horse owners, following the success of a previous clinic and the limited access horse owners have to veterinarians.
Renowned international equine veterinarian Dr Lizzie McCready will teach horse owners the basics of first aid and emergency management in a clinic at Horsham this weekend.
Event organiser and clinic participant Deidre Rennick said she found value in learning how to properly perform a complete basic health assessment, having to attend to her horse that had gone through a fence soon after attending the previous clinic.
“I was able to monitor the horse’s condition and make a sound decision about whether to take him to a vet, more than two hours away,” she said.
