Equi-First Aid USA began in 2007 in Canada, after our founder Heather Davis along with her father and her veterinarian identified the need for horse owners to have the same “first responder skills” for their animals, as humans have for each other through their Red Cross training.

Our materials have been developed by our team of veterinarians and equine professionals, and are taught by our team of independent contractors trained to teach our curriculum. Instructors are required to follow a strict code of ethics, continue their education and regularly renew their certification.

Our courses are recognized for continuing education credits with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), Equine Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA), PATH International and more.
