AZ Equine First Aid

12/23/2025

Comfy Pets of AZ website is currently down & being redesigned and will go live by the 1st of the year. In the meantime, I want to introduce you to:

🐴 The “All About” Series
Practical. Informative. Arizona-relevant.

The All About Series is designed to give horse owners, caretakers, and equine professionals the knowledge and confidence they need—whether you’re managing daily care, responding to emergencies, or preparing for the unexpected.

🌿 All About the Essentials of Horse Care
Learn the foundations every horse owner should know—from nutrition and hydration to hoof care, wellness checks, and daily management. This session focuses on keeping your horse healthy, comfortable, and thriving.

🩺 All About the Basics & Advanced First Aid and Safety Techniques for Your Horse
Be prepared when seconds matter. This class covers essential first aid skills, injury recognition, emergency response, and advanced techniques to help stabilize your horse until veterinary care is available—all with a strong focus on safety.

🌵 All About Disasters in AZ
Arizona presents unique challenges for horse owners. This session focuses on disaster preparedness and response for events such as wildfires, extreme heat, floods, and other regional emergencies—helping you create a plan to protect your horses before, during, and after a disaster.

✨ Because being prepared isn’t optional—it’s responsible horse ownership.

We will be teaching these classes at Rider's Ranch in Laveen, as well as E Slash 9 Ranch in Hereford in February. If you would like more information, before the website it up & running, please PM me.
