First-Aid Kit for Stable Emergency


Every horse owner, or in fact, everyone knows that horses are prone to accidents. So, the owner should always be prepared for any emergency. Don’t panic & take your time to thoroughly examine the horse visually & physically, in case of emergency. Make a phone call to your veterinarian & explain the whole condition. Depending upon the state of severity, you may know how to deal with the situation if a veterinarian guides you over the call.

However, in a severe injury, you will be able to manage the situation until your veterinarian comes. Therefore, it is up to a horse owner to prepare themselves for whatever comes in their way. So, here are some must-haves while buying or making your first-aid kit for stable management.


First-Aid Kit for Stable Emergency


A first-aid kit having all the essential things stored in a prominent place is the best idea for every equine owner. It should be kept at a place where you can easily find it without any trouble whenever you’ll see a new horse injury. If you want, you may buy a kit or make it on your own.


Firstly, you need an airtight & waterproof box to keep the first-aid materials sterile. Also, it should always be ready to use. For this, you can use an airtight kitchen container. A sewing box or large fishing tackle box is having lots of compartments. Bring a bright red tape & mark the cover with a cross sign. Now, it is ready for use.

  • A rectal thermometer
