What do colic, wounds, eye injuries and sudden lameness all have in common?

They're unpredictable and can occur without warning. They can be life threatening and impact your horse's long term health and wellbeing. 

To give your horse the best chance of making a full recovery, become empowered and emergency ready with practical knowledge and hands on skills that you can implement  - with confidence and competence - during these high stress situations.

With the invaluable Equine Emergency Training skillset you'll be able to confidently jump into action and start helping your horse back to health, instead of feeling helpless and questioning what to do next. 

In stressful situations,
we don't RISE to the occasion,
we FALL to the level of our training. 

What training will you be relying and acting on?

As an equine vet, I know it's not a question of if you'll need to use the tools and education provided in this Emergency Training, it's a question of when. And it's my mission to help you become an empowered, emergency ready horse owner.

“My confidence in my own knowledge has increased. I’m willing to stand in front of others and be confident in saying “I can do this, I understand this, I have a strategy, I will be calm and logical” -  It’s great!”

One night I was able to help a neighbour’s horse, who had been flat all day. I safley completed the Horse Health Assessment, and based on my findings we contacted the vet and had an informed conversation based on my notes. The vet decided they didn’t need to come out that night and gave us instructions on exactly what to do. I felt confident and competent, my neighbour was now reassured with her horse, the vet was on board but with no late night call out necessary - WINNER!

“I feel empowered after doing the course and never expected to learn this much. Just do it, it's so worth the money! 

It will save you money in the future too, as you will have a much better understanding of your horse’s normal, what is an emergency and what isn’t.

The confidence I gained in measuring my horses' vital parameters is a total game changer for me!" 

- Simone H, Canada 🇨🇦

“The EERT is absolutely brilliant. The knowledge I've gained has boosted my confidence enormously!

My horses are usually trouble free but in the past month all three have needed some form of treatment! One eye infection, a leg injury on my young horse who decided the next paddock had better grass... and last night a frightening choke incident. I felt better equipped to handle every scenario. 

The course is excellently structured. The theory, followed by the case studies and practical videos are just perfect! Thank you so much for empowering us owners with the invaluable knowledge inside the EERT. 

- Anna Z, Australia 🇦🇺

“Thanks to the training I was able to manage an emergency situation today - my horse presented with 4 swollen legs, an elevated temperature and high heart rate.”

I’m remotely located and have recently lost my local vet. Feeling self-assured by my training, I travelled my horse 2.5 hours to the new vet. After a blood tests and some medications, my horse is already looking better, and I know I made the right decision.

The EERT has already been so useful. This is the second time I’ve used my new skills and both times my Horse Health Assessment have been spot on (confirmed by the vet)!

"As a horse owner and Equine bodyworker, I can highly recommend this course." 

Dr Lizzie provides you the skill and confidence to approach an emergency situation so that you can assist your vet in the best way possible when treating your horse and potentially saving its life! All the information provided is very in-depth and covers a broad spectrum of injuries and illnesses you may come across in horse ownership. 

- Nicola S, England 🇬🇧

“The EET has probably saved my horse's life. I think it should be mandatory for all horse owners!

Knowing what I do now, I wouldn't make half the mistakes I have in the past. I can also prepare myself and my horse much better for the vet's arrival. I now know how to make sure things don't escalate from me doing the wrong things (eg: pulling out a nail from a hoof, spraying purple spray over everything), and I have more awareness of the seriousness of various injuries: eg: joint injury." 

- Sam W, Australia 🇦🇺

“I’ve enjoyed the course so much and having the opportunity to interact with you and get feedback quickly has been absolutely amazing, thank you so much!

Please keep me in the loop with whatever you’re involved with. Thank you

- Michelle L, England 🇬🇧

“The EERT has been a game changer for me, I feel empowered and confident!”

Even though I’ve owned horses for close to 50 years, I still tended to go into brain fade and panic. Prior to doing the EERT I would just dive in and try to act without having a clear plan on how I should approach/attack the situation. Now, I still act quickly, but I assess the sitation and then take the appropriate steps. I have a much better understanding of what I can manage myself and what needs a vet. My first aid kit is so much more comprehensive and I have a clear understanding of what products to use for different situations. There are so many new skills I’ve learnt to help me better care for my horses!

Since completing her training in January 2022, Lisa (who had previously spent at least £25,000 on vets bills over the years) has already reached out on 4 occasions! Twice for choke, once for colic and also for an eye injury. Each time her horse has made a full recovery. This is what Lisa said...

“My training made so much difference, it made me feel much more confident and I was able to give information to the vet in a self-assured and concise way…. she was so impressed with the information I provided! Thank you again for everything you have taught me.”

- Lisa C, England 🇬🇧

"I would highly recommend this course for any horse owner that wants the reassurance on their horse knowledge, to learn more about how their horse works and have the confidence to take care of them during an emergency."

The course is broken down really well and is not overwhelming. It's lovely to be a part of a knowledgeable and supportive group that will have your back for years to come. 

 

Thank you Dr Lizzie for this course!

- Helen H, England 🇬🇧

"I am so glad I did this course as it provided me with so much extra knowledge I didn't already have, even as a veterinary nurse. I highly recommend it to anyone that owns horses or is involved in the equine industry." 

The EERT makes you feel more confident and comfortable as an owner, when treating and making decisions around your horse's health. The course has provided me with a wealth of knowledge, an ideal first aid kit, the ability to know exactly how to respond in an emergency situation, when to call the vet and what information to relay to them down the phone.

- Jess P, Australia 🇦🇺

"The EET is an ideal platform for anyone wanting to learn, brush up on or expand their skills and knowledge around equine emergency situations. Highly recommended. 

Upon completion, you will be well equipped with the knowledge, the basic skill base and first aid kit to respond appropriately. You'll know how to handle the horse, their injury/ies and yourself, in a wide variety of different scenarios, and when to call your vet! You'll also be able to give your vet the correct information required to assess the level/type of emergency they are responding to."

- Kristy M, Australia 🇦🇺

"The training has been amazing. The literature and training videos were really informative and having them at hand in an emergency is so helpful.

I have learnt many new things and also gained more knowledge and confidence in areas I had some pre-existing knowledge in. Dr Lizzie has been amazing, so supportive and sharing so much knowledge. I feel I can now do more to help my horses during an emergency in the future."

- Lisa N, Australia 🇦🇺

"This course was full of really helpful information to help me be better prepared for any horse injury or emergency I find. 100% recommend.

The skills I had have been improved and I also learnt many new skills during the course. I found the practical tasks a helpful way of integrating what I was learning in the course and they have left me feeling more prepared for a real-life emergency. 

I think Dr Lizzie's Equine Emergency Training is of great benefit to the horse community."

- Mishel R, Australia 🇦🇺

"Amazing course which really increases your knowledge and ability to help your horse. Highly recommend to all horse owners.

 The EET helped to increase my confidence and ability to handle a range of situations with my horse's health. The topics we covered were great as they are the ones that we are likely to come across as owners. The training also helped me advance my communication skills with vets and other owners around horses health. Thank you Dr Lizzie!"

- Kathy W, Australia 🇦🇺

“It's an essential skill and the training is a must for any horse owner.

I feel proud of my accomplishment after doing the course and have an increased awareness with which I can help my herd. With the right tools and knowing that I can seek advice at any time gives me the needed reassurance to continue to work within my scope of practice. 

The knowledge and content was enriching and I really enjoyed learning about wound care."

- Jane R, Australia 🇦🇺

“I would strongly recommend the EET to anyone wanting to equip themselves with the tools and knowledge to cope with emergency situations, such as colic."

I thoroughly enjoyed how engaging and easy to digest the content was! It made learning about horse emergencies very constructive, and I lost the feeling of being confronted with the exact issues that were covered. I would love to see the training become the standard for all horse owners to have. The EET course is a fantastic training program to be armed with, wherever you are in the equine industry. 

- Alannah D, Australia 🇦🇺

"The passion that Dr Lizzie has for educating horse owners really comes across with how much thought and effort has been put into creating this course! Highly recommend! 

I really enjoyed the training. There was a good amount of information and the Case Study Seminars get you thinking about what you have learnt and putting it into practice.
