Equine First Aid - what you should know
By Penny Leggott
Henry Greenwald DVM Seminar, Sunday April 20th 9-12 Noon,
Tall Firs Equestrian
Center, Redmond WA
Is your First Aid Kit adequate to take care of these emergencies?
• Your horse is collicing and the vet is an hour away
• You go to bring your horse in from the paddock and notice blood spurting from
a wound on the hock
• You hear a commotion in your horse’s turn-out paddock and see that he’s
standing on 3 legs with a shoe half-off
Appropriate initial management of an injury can make a significant difference to
healing and recovery.
This seminar will help you decide what you need in your first aid kit enabling
you to handle immediate needs until the vet gets there.
A brief summary of the
content can be found here.
Dr Henry Greenwald (Hank) is an equine vet interested in all aspects of horse
health. He obtained his DVM degree Cum Laude from Washington State University in
1993 and he is certified in Veterinary Medical Acupuncture. Hank was a Ferrier
for 10 years prior to veterinarian training. He brings a wealth of clinical
experiences to his practice, including managing equine emergencies.
In this 3 hour seminar, Dr Greenwald will talk about the fundamentals of
emergency management, as well as the supplies and accessories recommended for

kit. He will also discuss some of the new products on the market.
