I have experience foaling out mares, grooming for horse shows, first aid and preventative care, daily upkeep and maintenance of the yard and stables, handling stallions for breeding, and assisting veterinarians with breedings and appointments. I can administer IV/IM injections, wrap, plait, and clip.
