I have an article about The Hooved Animal Rescue & Protection Society (HARPS)
and TROD (Trail Riders of DuPage--DuPage County, Illinois) who have been
conducting seminars for first responders for some years. The article says
they train police fire, animal control and forest preserve people. The
course includes handling calm and panicky horses, restraining a frightened or
injured horse, horse trailer design and dismantling, removing horses from
trailers, and what to do until the vet arrives.

The clinic is conduced in one day by staff and volunteers and has received
national recognition. It has been tough throughout the country. In the
session described in the article the clinic teamed two trainees with a horse
and handler. They learned how to handle their horse, how to halter and lead
a horse, and how to improvise halters and navigate obstacles. Typical horse
behaviors, both relaxed and under stress, were explained and demonstrated.

I have been told that they have a written curriculum, but I have not seen
it.

Another article I have describes work at Eastern Kentucky University in
Richmond, KY in a partnership with USRider Equestrian Motor Plan
(www.usrider.org). The article gives the following citation:
