How many times have you seen a horse and rider in need of rescue and people unsure of what to do? Would you know who to call, or what to do in a life threatening situation to make sure they were safely rescued? With millions of horses throughout the world, it is inevitable that some of  them will need to be rescued from places like ravines, ditches, collapsed barns, overturned trailers, riding trails, tracks, show rings, or injured in a field.  Now for the first time people can be trained how to do horse rescues using "Lucky" the Horse mannikin.   "Lucky" is a new life-sized horse mannikin used to safely learn hands-on training of emergency search and rescue techniques. "Lucky" the Horse mannikin has articulating limbs, a tail feature as an attachment point, realistic training weight and a height of 15 hands. It will accept standard horse harnesses, glides and gear. "Lucky" can be used in all weather, mud, water and is designed for training indoors or out. It is specifically designed to train emergency search and rescue techniques to fire and police departments, SAR units, military, government agencies, animal control, humane organizations, veterinarians and equine groups. "Lucky " was developed because of the effort of many people who were concerned about horses, how they are rescued, the techniques used and available equipment.

This mannikin gives an opportunity for rescue teams, animal control, paramedics and equine veterinarians to practice their skills in saving a horse and rider, without the need of a live horse.  Craig Jones, President of Rescue Critters! stated; "Our animal mannikins provide realistic training to learn life saving techniques, practice them safely and to prepare for emergency care & transport to a veterinarian."

Testimonials

"As seasoned  veterans of numerous LAR incidents, we have used  Rescue Critters!® brand "Lucky" the Horse mannikin extensively in our training course to develop the skills of emergency professionals and horse owners for Technical Large Animal Rescue.  Lucky allows us to place the students in scenarios that recreate the challenges of real-life LAR incidents, on-road or off-road.  The feel and articulation of Lucky closely simulates a sedated horse.  Students are able to learn positioning and perfect the skills necessary for the application of rescue equipment in a safe, efficient manner." - Captain John Fox, Head of Felton FPD's LAR Unit, and developer of FSTEP #1247 Large Animal Rescue - Operational

"As it is with any new technology, it is not just something new added to the world, but it is a new world entirely. I looked at all of the people involved, saw the precise skills put into action to save one human and one horse and watched the world turn ever so slightly in the direction of life for horses, who in the past would have been euthanized. And in that shift for the horses comes a shift for humans toward a more meaningful and compassionate society." - Barbara Clarke, Director of DreamCatcher Wild Horse & Burro Sanctuary

"Lucky" will be a way for people to learn real skills and do the best job possible in rescuing horses and people. The rope techniques that the Foxs’ have developed can be taught to trainers who in turn can train others and pass on the skills."  David Kovar, Commanding Officer of First Special Response Group (1SRG)
