What are the essential items that you have in your equine first aid kit?
I have odds and ends at home but want to have a little kit to keep in the horsebox.

| We have a first aid kit in one of those tack box/mounting block things, and it always goes in the car when we take the trailer out. Off the top of my head it has vet wrap, couple of sizes of dry dressings, animalintex, gamgee, cotton wool, scissors, wound cream/spray, hibiscrub, iodine spray. We do have a whole roll of gamgee, quite a few rolls of vet wrap etc. on the grounds that you'd need quite a bit to sort out a horses leg if they gash it badly etc. |

Also got hibiscrub and another type of anti-bacterial wash. Need to get a new tub of sudocrem.
