Yes that is me with my mare Precious, she is actually a dark buckskin, the pic doesn't do her justice.  I use Allegan Veterinary clinic which is downtown Allegan, Allegan Animal clinic is south of town and that is Dr Main, which I will not comment on ..lol..

 

I am also on the Allegan County Mounted Patrol, I am 40, will be 41 in August.  Licensed EMT and dispatcher, but chose to be a stay at home EMT.  My husband is in Afghanistan working as a Remote Tactical Medic for the State Dept. 

 

I am hoping to organize some wilderness training this year at Ionia State Park, it is a very nice park and has a good place to practice water rescues, and wilderness rescues.  I wish my husband would be here as he is a licensed Instructor and the hours would be good for CEU's for those in EMS and Nursing.  But he will be in Afghanistan so I will be doing the teaching.   Biggest thing we hope to do is safety training when approaching a equine related situation.  How to not only treat the patient but the horse as well if it has sustained injuries.  How to get both out of the woods safely. 

 

Of course the training will be open to anyone involved with search and rescue or EMS, or equine activities.  Plus hope to have entertainment and stuff too. 

 

We shall see.

 

If you have any friends who are in EMS and have horses feel free to get them to sign up.   I am hoping once we reach 20 or more members to get us recognized as a National Group.
