How To Put A Horse First Aid Kit Together

Sometimes unplanned accidents and injurys happen. These emergencys can leave you running around the farm in a panic. Rather you searching the farm to gather the correct supplies it or maybe you don't even have the correct supplies on hand. As I'm sure you know, there is never time to spare in an emergency. You may even think you have to go out and spend hundreds of dollars but, that's just not true. Here you will find a reasonable list of items that may just help you and your horse, if emergency ever did arise. Please always remember to consult your vet!

You can store all your first aid kit supply in a bigger plastic bin and a lid of course so, everything stays clean or you could even use a tack box if you happen to have a extra one on hand. After, you have found a suitable storage bin then, you will need to get smaller, shoe box size plastic containers again, with lids. Then all you need is a sharpie to label each box by what's inside. This way in a emergancy you have an organized system, that's easy to get to. You may also, consider a small refrigerator to put medicine the vet may give you in. Some but, not all medicine require a colder tempature. The refrigerator would also, be good to store ice in for swelling injurys.
