Trail Riding, Show season First Aid Kits.

Lets put togather a first aid kit. I noticed that the ones showing in 4-H, Here in KY the 4-Hers can compete in a Stall contest. One of the requirements are. A First Aid Kit. So what does yours contain???????????

Betadine, gauze bandages, a few of those stretchy colored bandages, thermometer, twitch, aloe cream, alcohol, ice bags, saline spray wound cleanser... that's all I can think of right now.

tweezers! lol vaseline (for the thermometer ) vetwrap, bandaids (for people), scissors, wire cutters, bute, phone numbers (vet, owners etc) , epsom salt, zinc oxide, jug (or electrolytes), stethescope, stopwatch or timer, flashlight, duct tape

for extra points make an index card that has normal heartrate, temperature, and respiration for a horse

I had to do one of these for 4-h what is the theme going to be for the stall decorating?

remeber to take pictures!

I have one I keep in the trailer in a bright yellow bag. It has
everything from gauze, vet wrap, syringes, needles, betadine, alcohol,
Banamine, scissors, bute (both paste & injectable), thermomoter,
twitch, saline, peroxide, furazone paste and spray, pen and notepad,
black marker, then all the people first aid stuff.

most off the above plus
toilet paper, baby diapers, spare set of standing wraps, mine locks,
banamine, natural sedative ( have used it and was so glad i had it on me), baby wipes, rubber gloves short and long

thats all I can think off a friend made it for me then i addded to mine

You guys remembered everything I forgot! Chinquapinryder, what are mine locks? That's something I've never heard of.

I have most of the same things listed above except I use chlorhexidine instead of betadine... betadine burns wound edges & chlorhexidine tends to be less harsh also even less expensive and has more healing properties...

I always have maxipads nothing better for wounds that are bleeding heavily esp. on legs- vet wrap on a maxipad and you are good to go my husband was appalled when he saw me do that now he goes and gets them to restock oh I forgot I also keep a leatherman 10 tools in 1 yeah .

My Crash kit has: roll of cotton, Furazone, Novalsan scrub, 4 x 4’s, Bedidine ointment, vet wrap, elastic tape, nylon wrap, Banamine, Bute, EPF 5, Equi-Spaz, ice packs, big syringe for pasting and duck tape.



I pack this when ever I take a horse out to a show.
