Basic and Advanced Equine First Aid Course

Join us for a Basic and Advanced Equine First Aid Course being taught on February 7-8, 2026 by Lead Trainer and Senior Equi-Health Canada Instructor Courtney Gledstone at Ceffyl Wellness and Education Center.

This is a 2-day hands-on course with horses covering Equine Emergency First Aid skills on Saturday and Advanced Equine Emergency First Aid techniques on Sunday (the first day is the prerequisite for the second day).

The first day covers: what your vet needs to know when you call, conditioning a horse to accept treatment, taking proper vital signs, dealing with lacerations, punctures, colic, choke, collapse, casting, shock, hoof issues, recognizing pain in the horse, sources of pain and alleviation, spinal health, injury prevention and much more! You'll receive a take-home manual, certificate of completion, and vital signs card.

The second day covers everything from assessing the condition of a horse, trapped horses, poison, burns, bites, hypo/hyperthermia, tie ups, fractures, sucking chest wounds and more. This course prepares the student to handle the most serious injuries, where without human intervention the horse will not survive.
