The Loops Rescue Sling can help in many emergencies. The system is effective in commonly used basic technical rescue procedures, including lifting a down horse. The sling has been tested in live horses, and results have been published in peer-reviewed research studies. It is designed for short-term field use situations and does not replace prior full-body lifting systems. The advantages to this system are that it lifts by the skeletal system, there are no knots, no J hooks, and no metal bars, and it fits in a small duffel bag that can be carried to the horse needing help. Each kit has step-by-step instructions for forward and rear assistance, rolling a down horse, mud rescue, horizontal drag, and lift. It has been sold throughout the United States to animal services, veterinary clinics, mobile veterinary practices, universities, fire departments, search and rescue, and equine emergency evacuation teams.- International sales to Canada, Japan, Mexico, Ecuador, UK, Saudia Arabia and other countries.
