Greeting Everyone,

HEET’s June Training for Equine Emergency First-Aid is coming up.  There will actually be two trainings in June. We felt it would be a good idea to meet the lead veterinarians who will be working with us when we have an emergency; therefore, we have set up a meeting in South County and one in North County.  Any and all members are welcome at both meetings.

For South County:

Who: Eric DeVos, DVM Los Padres Equine Veterinary Services

For more information contact Kathe Hustace 239-4004 or 459-6436.

Have a safe Memorial Day Weekend and see you at the upcoming trainings.

This is to let everyone know that we have decided to cancel our May 2nd meeting.  Several members let us know they will be out of town on that day and we felt it would be better to wait to have our “Procedures Training” when more members could join us.

The directors updated all “HEET Procedure” this morning and are being reformated.   All members will receive the procedure via e-mail in the few weeks.

So, as it stands our May 2nd meeting is canceled. The next training will be in June for Equine First-Aid and then the Procedure Training July 11th,  since the first Sat. of July falls on July 4th.

Of course we will notify all members as to date, time, and places of all meetings.
