“Horses often find themselves in extremely dangerous situations, and we want to do everything in our power to save their lives,” said John Nicholson, Executive Director of the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. “That’s why we’re so pleased that Hagyard Equine Medical Institute is offering a Large Animal Emergency Response Seminar here at the park.”
The presentation on April 29 at 12:30 pm is open to anyone attending the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event. The seminar will review rescue and transport of a recumbent horse, mud and water rescue, trailer accidents, barn fires, as well as night search and rescue. It will take place in the Hagyard Equine Medical Institute tent #154 at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event.
A live demonstration on rescue and transport of a recumbent horse will follow at 5 pm in the indoor arena. Nathan Slovis, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, will conduct the seminar and demonstration using a live horse to show effective, efficient, and safe rescue techniques to use when a horse is down. Proper use of an equine glide for transport will also be reviewed.
Nicholson concluded, “The more we are prepared to assist horses in any situation, even the most precarious, the better for them and for us. It is part of our obligation as residents of the Horse Capital of the World
