CPD for our Accredited Instructors
Six fire services attended BARTA’s training centre at the Horse Trust in Buckinghamshire, as part of scheduled continual professional development for fire and rescue service large animal rescue instructors. During the session delegates discussed the challenges and tactics for dealing with Time Critical Incidents, where a person may be trapped with an animal and require immediate intervention. They also focused on the management of an equine trailer rollover, which would require further resources and control measures. Techniques in righting an overturned trailer were practiced and recorded as part of a growing suite of practical resources for animal rescue teams. Resources can be found covering a range of topics on the BARTA YouTube channel: youtube.com/@bartaresources940 Helping us on the day was Guy Fulford, Safety & Rescue Sector Manager for Harken UK.

Spotlight on one of our Team – Teri England
Many will know our Training and Events Coordinator, Teri England, a core member of the BARTA team. Teri recently underwent major life changing surgery. During her time away from work the team rallied, but it was clear the critical role she plays in supporting our first responders to be best equipped to deal with people and animals in emergencies. We are really glad that Teri is on the mend and back in the saddle from 2 perspectives! Her love for her horses and the drive to be back competing has really helped her recovery and we wanted to share a recent success story which was published on the British Dressage website, entitled, Combined Training Qualifiers: journeys of determinations. This is an insight into the challenges that Teri has faced recently and overcome with real determination, with her permission we wanted … Continue reading →

Training in Saudi Arabia
BARTA’s Jim Green and Dr Nigel Haizelden recently travelled to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to support the Saudi Equestrian Authority (SEA). As well as a racecourse and equine hospital, there are around 15,000 horses in the immediate area, many who suffer injury through transportation and road traffic collisions. Sponsored by the SEA, training was available for trainers, vets and emergency service workers. Over 3 days of training 100 delegates came to learn, generating a huge level of wider interest.

Safety Officials attend a BARTA workshop
Safety officials from UK equine charities, associations and sporting disciplines came together at the Horse Trust for a BARTA workshop, to discuss progress in equine safety and care during emergencies. The BARTA team demonstrated outcomes from involvement in the London and Paris Olympics, where levels of preparedness and response are developing at each event. It is hoped that these standards of care for people and animals will become embedded within eventing risk management plans, just as it has for British horseracing. The team also outlined a programme of enabling animal establishments to assess and implement fire evacuation plans for the animals in their care. This pre-planning can be used to support all emergency situations, which will put animal keepers in a much more capable position if an incident occurs. As we see more people and animals being displaced due to … Continue reading →
