Resilience in Emergencies - Put the Planning to Purpose 

Emergencies with horses (from minor laceration to a colic) CAN be planned for and CAN be less stressful and painful if some simple processes are implemented, and more complex communications are coordinated ahead of time. Join HHRF and Rebecca Husted on January 21, 2026 at 7:00pm (ET) for this webinar that will provide you with a checklist of items to consider for your planning ahead whether you are expecting a hurricane next week or are going out of town on vacation.
