Presentation at the AAEP 2025 - Burst Session in Denver

Tips for Safe Helicopter Rescue and Transport of Horses

We had a fantastic Burst Session at the 2025 AAEP Convention in Denver! There were 600 people in the room and the atmosphere was electric. Our demonstration of horses in flight, carried by our Animal Recovery and Transportation Sling (ARTS), went very well. Thank you to the organisers for accepting a European veterinarian into this amazing crew. 

We would also like to thank Prof Anton Fürst (Vetsuisse, ZH) and Ruedi Keller (GTRD) for their support and the wonderful collaboration. This project was primarily funded by the Swiss Armed Forces.
