Please contact us for help understanding the requirements of your particular business or facility.**

Participants will complete the entire Basic First Aid course, mastering skills as listed above and receive the BFA certification. In this specialized course, an additional curriculum including injuries common to horseback riders will also be taught, extending above and beyond the BFA curriculum. Participants will become confident in treating and identifying common injuries encountered as a horseback rider.

Additional Skills include:

** The risk of emergencies, especially falls, is greatly increased by participating in any riding discipline as horses can be unpredictable under even the best circumstances. Ensure you and your barn are prepared! Please contact us directly to arrange this unique and individualized course. **
