Hi all. I'm a horse safety specialist from Northern California, where its cold and windy!
I've been around horses for my whole life -- in fact my first word as a baby was "horsie" -- and I've speceialized in safety for the past 5 yrs or so.

I wrote the book on getting your horse out of life threatening situations. Its called "Save Your Horse! A Horse Owner's Guide to Large Animal Rescue". That's not the rehoming kind of rescue, but the kind that involves emergency responders, like a trailer rollover. Did you know that only about one percent (1%) of all firefighters know how to safely work with horses? Scary, isnt it? If something happens to MY horses, I sure hope I get that one percent!

Right now I'm busy working on a class for horse owners that teaches large animal rescue. Then we horse owners can go to our fire departments and get them to learn how to save our horses. I have a website on large animal rescue -- www.saveyourhorse.com. I hope you all come to visit me there and learn about LAR.

Welcome! I look forward to learning lots of interesting stuff from you!

Welcome to the site. Thank you for teaching what you do. THe more people that know how to handle large animals in emergancy situtation the better.

Glad your here,
It is one of the very important issues that is overlooked.
Thanks

What a wonderful thing you are doing! Since I currently don't have horses, it's not something I've given a lot of thought to. Glad to have you here and hope to see you posting regularly.
