This week we’re continuing our Safety and Emergency Series with two important items: the AED and First Aid Kits.


  • AED (Automated External Defibrillator): You’ll find it at the entrance of the barn, mounted on the wall to the left, just before the chalkboard.


  • First Aid Kits, there are two locations:

    1. In the office kitchen, on the shelf next to the fridge.

    2. In the arena, in the first door of the kick boards to the right.


Next time you’re on site, take a moment to locate these so you’re prepared in case of an emergency. Quick access can make all the difference!
