Large Animal Ice Rescue Techniques
Large Animal Ice Rescue (LAIR) is an operations level course designed to provide first responder ice rescue training. LAIR includes large animal ice rescue training and water rescue training, with an emphasis on advanced horse rescue techniques. Small animal ice rescue techniques will also be discussed and demonstrated in class.
Incidents that involve large animals require special considerations and knowledge. This training is provided through both hands-on and classroom instruction. The Large Animal Ice Rescue class includes practicing rescue scenarios and involves the use of a life-sized, weighted horse mannequin with articulating limbs.
