I would also put your vets number in the first aid kit. Have found cotton pads handy too. Also salt or electrolites for a dehydrated horse and bran for a gas colic can help. since I got my TB ive also added a farriers rasp and pliers for when a shoe becomes twisted but doesnt get pulled right off!!<br><b>References : </b><br> Antispetic cream/spray, poultice for those pesky stone bruises, bute (painkiller – you can get it from any vet), iodine, vet wrap, bandages and i also found tweezers a good thing for when a horse gets a thorn you cant get out using fingers only.

Sterile Water, sterile 4x4's wraps, banamine, syringes/needles, bute, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, a triple antibiotic ointments, sunscreen(for white noses), scissors, baby diapers (for hoof injuries) duct tape, a powder to stop bleeding, a wound dressing of some type, zip lock bags (to put ice in), tweezers, thermometer (equine type), a few clean towels/wash clothes (put in gallon ziplock bags), KY jelly, a burn ointment (silverdeen), fly/mosquito spray, and an assortments on large pads (you can use kotex) to pack a deep wound until you can get a vet, (not sterile, but handy in a hurry.)....the list is endless....just think through an injury, cut, sickness...and think...what would I need to handle this. If you can, IV start kit, and I keep 10 Liters of fluids on hand, along with Lidocaine & suture kits.<br><b>References : </b><br> I bought a large rubbermaid type container with a lid that snaps and handles for easy carrying.

It sounds funny I know, but it works. A old rancher told me that a long time ago.). That is all I can think of, for now. Hope it helps.<br><b>References : </b><br> A few extra things I put in mine: pliers, Rescue Remedy, Betadine solution, Fura-Zone, Wounder Dust, gloves, Tea Tree Oil, yogurt(if stools look soft or just off I'll give yogurt. it adds good, live bacteria back into their digestive system.
