Equine Guelph Fire Safety and Emergency Response Course
Equine Guelph's Fire Safety and Emergency Response Course is best-in-class for stable managers because it targets equine-specific fire prevention, evacuation planning and incident command in a way generic large-animal courses do not. Its evidence-based curriculum and downloadable action plans provide a cost-effective way to reduce risk and downtime compared with buying multiple redundant kits, and it pairs economically with on-site kits like Virbac and Equi-First Aid to deliver a complete training-plus-equipment approach.
