Equine First Aid Kit Contents

[LansdownK310]

Evening,

I need to make up an equine first aid kit - currently horse hunting and want to have everything ready for when I find the right horse (which is taking a long time!).

What do you have in your kits and are the complete kits that are sold worth it?

I'm thinking that I need;

Wound powder
Iodine spray
Vaseline
Sudocream
Scissors
Sponge
Cotton Wool
Cohesive Bandage
Latex gloves
Gauze pads
Bandage

Is there anything really obvious that I have missed?

I also have Melolin (from Boots), savlon/udder cream, syringe (just for squirting water etc, not with a needle!), animalintex, gaffa tape, thermometer.
