First Aid Kit

[sallybush]

I have just bought my first trailer and hope to do some local competitions/sj/hunter trials etc.

Just trying to put together a permanent horse first aid kit to leave in the trailer - so I need ideas of everything I should include.

What do you all have as standard in your first aid kits?

Thanks

In view of this morning's little incident, I too would be interested to know what people consider to be the basics for an equine first aid kit. That way I can bat my eyelashes at Javier and (when he's recovered from the shock) hopefully relieve him of some of the required items!!

Small Bucket
Plastic container filled with cotton wool balls
Gamgee pre cut to fit legs and sealed in individual re sealable plastic bags.
2 Rolls of Vet wrap
Animalintex in a resealable bag
Scissors
Pot of Salt - for minor wounds, just put on the same as if wound powder
Bonjela
Vaseline
Packet of Baby wipes - for human hands
Saline solution - Pre make several bottle of saline solution. I sterilise sipper bottles in Milton and then add cooled boiled water and a heaped teaspoon salt. You can squirt it onto injuries easily or tip into bucket for larger injuries
Strong plastic container with clip on lid to store it all in.
