The course will provide insights into triage and stabilisation of equine emergencies that are commonly seen in equine ambulatory practice. 

The morning lectures will provide a practical approach to equine blood transfusion in the field, and strategies for stabilisation of a critical patient for travel.  The practical session in the afternoon will allow delegates to develop an approach to ultrasound of the acute abdomen and thorax and perform an emergency tracheostomy on a cadaver. In the afternoon we will have a panel discussion for disaster management with a range of surgical and medical specialists. We will finish the day with a discussion on controversial areas including what should and shouldn’t be done in the field.

Online Mini Module – Physiotherapy Masterclass for Qualified Physiotherapists and Veterinary Surgeons on the Equine Back and Pelvis

In February 2026, we will be offering a Physiotherapy Masterclass on the Equine Back and Pelvis, aimed at both qualified Physiotherapists* and Equine Clinicians looking to refresh their knowledge of the assessment and treatment options available in this common area of practice. The weeks will focus on revising back and pelvis pathology before reviewing current approaches to diagnosis, assessment and initial management from both professional perspectives. Common clinical cases and the principles behind their rehabilitation will be addressed in week 5, and the over-arching theme throughout the module will be one of professional collaboration and the ‘team approach’ to maximise clinical outcomes.
