“I always believe in being prepared, even when I’m dressed in white tie and tails.”
General George S. Patton, Jr. Quotation
As the end to the rainy season soon nears and brown drought stricken hillsides are quickly forgotten. We enjoy trails lined with tall grass and wildflowers.
Many may be in jeopardy of forgetting the recent benefits of training and preparation.
Not our MAU members who have coordinated a calendar of training opportunities. Recently, MAU members have attended a full day of training by the United States Forest Service and a full day seminar on Emergency Preparedness. Both of these training days met MAU training requirements.
Upcoming training sessions include:
March 8th Emergency Horse Shoeing
March 16th First Aid/CPR certification
A new Emergency Response Team component has been incorporated into MAU.
ERT members are required to maintain current CPR/First Aid certification, attend Trailer Loading and Horse Handling Competency training (annually), Disaster Response Preparedness training (annually), and attend radio communication training (annually).
Please continue to check the MAU calendar on the website and in the newsletter for training opportunities.
