When a large animal becomes trapped, injured or involved in an accident, safely managing the situation requires an understanding of both rescue techniques and animal behavior.
Join the Horsemen’s Council of Illinois and Midway Trailer Sales and Service for Large Animal Rescue Operations, delivered by the Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI).
Part of IFSI’s Agriculture Rescue Program, Large Animal Rescue Operations provides operations-level information and practical techniques for responding to emergencies involving large animals. The IFSI curriculum addresses animals including horses, cattle, pigs, sheep, llamas and alpacas, with horses and cattle serving as primary teaching models.
The training combines classroom instruction with practical large-animal rescue concepts and techniques.
