Caledon Equine Hospital presents an
EQUINE RESCUE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
September 17th, 2010

Caledon Equine Hospital is pleased to present an Equine Rescue Certification program Friday September 17th, 2010 as part of the Hills of Headwaters 'Destination Equitation'. The eight-hour Equine Rescue Certification course is designed for first level emergency personnel responders and will be of particular interest to firefighters, law enforcement, animal control, rescue personnel and veterinarians as well as ranch and horse owners.
The certification program is taught by Jennifer Woods, a certified Large Animal Rescue instructor who has been delivering livestock handling courses including Livestock Emergency Response and Livestock Behavior and Handling. Jennifer has certified Canadian universities for the Canadian Council on Animal Care and developed a livestock behavior and handling curriculum for Canadian and American colleges. In 2006, Jennifer was presented with an Award of Distinction for Innovation by the Alberta Farm Animal Care Council for her Livestock Emergency Response program.
The Equine Rescue program combines the technical skills of fire and emergency service with an understanding of horse characteristics and behavior. The techniques reflect innovative adaptations to cope with dramatic and remote terrain. Interested individuals are invited to sign up for the certification program by going to the sign-up page on Caledon Equine Hospital’s website (www.caledonequine.com) by September 3rd. Enrolment is limited to 35 individuals per session, and spaces will fill up quickly!
