In this short, 15-minute episode, we shine a spotlight on an unmissable training opportunity for anyone working with thoroughbreds. The Level 3 Award in Equine Emergency First Aid is coming to the National Stud in Newmarket this June — and at just £60, it's represents great value for money and is available to anyone working in the breeding industry.
Hear from the course tutors and learners about the course and why it's a must for anyone working with thoroughbreds.

When an emergency happens on the yard, the seconds before a vet arrives matter. Having trained confident staff who know exactly what to do can make all the difference - to the horse and to your team.
TB-Ed is delighted to share details of an excellent training opportunity coming to the National Stud in Newmarket in June: the Level 3 Award in Equine Emergency First Aid, organised by the Racing Staff Development Programme (RSDP).

Mentoring is a cornerstone of professional development in the thoroughbred breeding industry, empowering individuals with practical skills, confidence and the support networks they need to thrive in their careers.
