In Encounters with Police, One Horse Lives, Another Dies and procedures were violated. Personnel placed on restricted duty status are normally limited to duties within the station.” So many things went wrong on that December night, from a lack of planning to an apparent lack of training to deal with a situation that is not uncommon in areas where there are a lot of horse farms. When asked about potential training for the Penn- sylvania State Police, Snyder responded: “Best practices for an incident such as this are constant- ly being reviewed and updated in consultation with subject matter experts.” Training Programs Are Available Jo Ann Bashore, who is President of Fair Hill Emergen- cy Response Team, (Fairhillert. org) a non-profit that provides emergency response, transport for injured equines and training for first responders, says that her organization offers one-day training. “We had a grant last year to cover any first responder or police. We’re trying to educate all first responders—and basic horse owners, too.” Unfortunate- ly, she says, it has been difficult to get first responders to come to the programs. She says that her group had worked with Pennsylvania State Police on a couple of cases and assisted them earlier this year. “We were talking to the Avondale commander. We told them we would—at no charge to them— provide training to police. We put that out there in March.” She says that she was not “pointing fingers,” but the incident with Perillo was on her mind. No re- sponse so far from Pennsylvania State Police. Fair Hill Emergency Response Team has 30 volun- teers trained in technical large animal rescue on call 24/7, and they’re available to assist throughout the tri-state area (Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware). Bashore says that they’ve applied for another grant to cov- er three-day training next year, and that program will feature equine experts from all over the world. With any luck, the program will attract some first responders. (Continued from page 4) Fair Hill Emergency Response Team is a non-profit, and like most non-profits they rely on grants and donations. Bashore says they’re now raising money to purchase a horse mannequin, to provide hands-on training for first responders. She says they currently borrow a mannequin from another organization, and that mannequin is “on its last legs.” Inter- ested donors can check their website www.fairhillert.org .
