While one of AAEP’s highest priorities is to reduce the occurrence and severity of equine injuries, accidents and injuries in the sport of horse racing still occur. Providing the best management for the affected horse should be of utmost importance at all racetracks. This document outlines improvements for the emergency management of the injured thoroughbred racehorse on race days. Our equine athletes deserve the fastest response; the quickest, most accurate assessment; and the best immediate injury management possible.
