Abstract: 54.2%; n = 43) reported lacking the skills and equipment needed when requiring remote injection techniques: accessibility of equipment and lack of training were frequently reported concerns.Worryingly, 12% (CI: 5.8%-18.9%;n = 12) of respondents using remote restraint reported always/frequently encountering complications; free text suggested this included variable response to drugs and concerns around heightened equine fear.While BARTA and the fire brigade offered training for some, 48% (n = 47) reported in free text having no training at all and a further 27% (n = 26) reported informal training/self-taught.Only 5% (n = 5) indicated that they would not utilise further training. Main limitations: Self-selection of participants. Limitations of the questions.Conclusions: The results support the need and desire for the development of accessible and practical resources to support those using these techniques effectively and safely.Ethical animal research: Ethical approval (University of Liverpool -VREC1463) was granted.
