Law Enforcement / Animal Control Seminar History
At our yearly planning meeting in spring of 2016, the board voted to create a program to educate Law Enforcement / Animal Control. The board appointed Randy Creamer (ex-law enforcement), Mike Kinsey (equine behavior) and Adam Eichelberger, DVM to critique the information for the board to approve. The council worked hard for months to create a program that will educate officials on the importance of addressing equine abuse while bringing recognition to the SC Horsemen’s Council.
Our first draft was reviewed in September and the final draft was approved Oct 2016. Randy Creamer presented the official booklet of the SCHC Basic Equine Evaluation and Safety program for circulation in Jan 2017. The booklet included Legal definitions and Standards For Horse Care in South Carolina. All participates taking the program would be given a Horse Care Brochure that could be used to educate the public. The host agencies will receive two free slots and an additional one for every ten slots that are filled. Also, that the two instructors may be reimbursed, upon request, for fuel, hotels and meals outside of a 50-mile radius of their home the fee for the seminar was set at $75 to cover cost such as printing and travel. The 8-hour course will only be taught to law enforcement and animal control officers throughout the state. A SCHC certificate will be given to those who take the course.
The SCHC seminar outline was presented to our members at the 2017 Annual meeting. The presentation “Introduction to Basic Equine Evaluation and Safety”, was given by Mike Kinsey and Randy Creamer. The first seminar was presented on April 2, 2017, in Anderson County. Another was presented to Lexington County in 2020.
Below is a copy of the final version of the program. Please don't share out side of our board. Be reminded of the importance of confidentiality and also that we are guided by our Code of Ethics and that we are potently subject to repercussions if we violate the code of ethics. Our board agreed that this would only be presented to officials. With the possibility of giving a trimmed down version to the public at a later date. It would need to come before the board before going to the general public.
