Reccomendations for a basic first aid kit for horse

[oxo]

Hi - I'm at a new stables and I think i need to get myself my own first aid kit for the horse as I dont see one around. So... I see there are kits online but they look like you get very little for your money.

What do you suggest for a minimum that should be in the kit?
what are essential and what are things that are still a good idea to get.. thanks!

I've seen a company on FB advertising a nice first aid kit which comes in a nice backpack ... its pricey and I cant remember what its called, I will go have a look.

can most of that medical stuff be found at horse tack shops?

a lot of it can be found in a normal shop and the rest may be cheaper at somewhere like hyperdrug ond buying online
