Ok i haven't owner one of these in years.

But since I have just about everything else I really do need to get one of these for at the yard.

Now heres the question:

What do i need in it?

I've picked the following so far:

Equiwrap bandage
Wound Cream
Purple Spray.

Thats all i can think of off the top of my head. Thinking I should probably get some people items too.
 
Hibiscrub, salt, cotton wool, scissors, Animal lintex (sp) thermometer, vaseline.
Headache tabs, icepack,( the pop up ones ), plasters.
 
Animalintex and gamgee. Never sure about cotton wool tbh as it can leave traces in a wound but probably better than nothing. Vetwraps and ordinary bandages. Salt and distilled water. Curved scissors. Wound powder. I am not convinced about purple spray nowadays.It doesnt sting like it used to. ;) Maybe worth getting some of those melonin things. I had some in a first aid kit but never used them but maybe one day they will come in useful. The one thing I have used is syringes containing salt water for a small cut at a competition. Green oils gel or similar.

Thermometer.

Human needs- plasters, and icepack is good. At the end of the day you can always use gamgee and a vet wrap on a human.

Agree with above, hibiscrub is a useful thing to have around too.
