Yesterday I dragged my poorly sick body off to Hartpury College for the day for the dreaded update to my first aid course. Always boring and always a whole day away from the horses.
However I soon felt loads better when it turned out to be the best first aid course in the entire world.
On my course were
Jane Davis - Completed Blenheim 3* twice and one of my best freinds.
Louise Skelton - 4* event rider
Bill Levitt - 4* event rider
Lucinda Green - 6 x winner of Badminton
plus lots of other more local instructors, event riders and showjumpers.
It was an event riders dream first aid course and we had such a laugh, consequently however the course ran an hour late.
Lucinda was playing with play dough all day, I decided it must be an anti smoking thing until Louise Skelton said it was more likely to be physio for her wrist that she broke a few months ago!
Quotes from the course
"How am I going to wee on my head" - Louise Skelton, after being told urine can be used to cool a burn.
" Yes I will need two breaths after that" - Jane Davis after giving 30 CPR compressions
"The two breaths are for the casualty not you" - Trainer
"Drag her out quick" - Lucinda Green on what to do with unconcious rider in the water jump.
"Now you are both dead, you have forgotton to stop the next horse" - Trainer
