First Aid Training for Horse Riders
First Aid Training that is targeted, specific, and relevant to anyone involved with horses in any capacity

First Aid Training Co-operative member Medi-K are our equine sector first aid specialists and have created tailored courses alongside trusted partners in the industry.
Adding rider specific content to recognised first aid qualifications helps the first aider at a yard, stables, or veterinary practice meet their regulatory requirements and deal with the incidents that they are likely to face.
As well as dealing with incidents on premises, we also teach you what to do if you are further afield. Horse riders and those that work with horses are some of the most commonly injured people each year. Knowing what to do in an emergency is a vital part of being a rider.

There are courses are suitable for:
Horse riders / producers / competitors / grooms, Dressage / show jumping / XC instructors & trainers, Eventing instructors & trainers, Harness & driving trainers, Polocrosse / horseball / polo trainers, Showing instructors & sidesaddle trainers, Western trainers, Vaulting trainers, Freelance instructors & trainers, Endurance trainers, Point to point & horse racing trainers, Equestrian organisations, groups and societies, Yards and stables, Equestrian colleges & education centres, Equestrian clubs – riding clubs, pony clubs and Hunts, happy hackers, horse mad families and more!
