What You Really Need to Have in Your Equine First Aid Kit

- If you have horses, you need a first aid kit. I’m not sure that you heard me. You must have a first aid kit in your barn if you have horses! No exceptions! But you might be wondering why I stress this - or you might be wondering how do you even put together a first aid kit for your horse?
Don’t worry, I’m going to explain all of that in todays video!
If you have horses - emergencies will happen, and you need to be prepared for when it happens.
Notice I said when, not if. Because if you have horses, I promise, you will have an emergency - and you need to be able to handle the situation until the vet gets to you. And you might be wondering what makes me an expert when it comes to horses. I mean, I’m not a vet, or a vet tech. But I am a registered nurse. And the training I have not only applies to people, but to animals too. I mean, an emergency is an emergency right? Right! And being prepared to handle an emergency is something all horse owners need to be prepared for.
What’s in my first aid kits?
If you are curious about all of the supplies I have in my first aid kits - here you go!

And I know there is more but this is all I can think of for now. And no, building your own first aid kit is not cheap. BUT you will be very glad that you have it in case an emergency happens. And we all know with horses, it’s not if something happens, but when!

If you've read this far down the description, I just wanted to say that I appreciate each and every single one of you who take time out of your day to watch even a minute of my videos, it truly does mean a lot. Thank you so much
my huge first aid is a tall file cabinet, you don't have to unlock layers to get in, but I love how you painted it
Now I don't have to explain how to create this. Im sharing your video!
I trail ride a lot and always carry a smaller emergency kit with me. Everything in the kit works for humans and horses. The small kit is waterproof and soft sided.
I've got a trailer kit and my big barn kit too. Love the Huskey roller that's what I have too.
Thanks Lisa great information as always! One of my biggest fears is that he will be in pain and I won't know it... 😢
Lisa, this is great! love it. I think it's a great idea to have a stethoscope, too, but just when i needed mine, the diaphragm on that cheapy fell out or was useless in some way. Because I'm an experienced nurse, too, and mom of a son who had terribly reactive lungs as a little boy, I just put my ear right on that horse's belly, and the boborygmi (LOL stomach noises) were very easy to hear. I also rely on my ear to hear lung sounds and heart beats if necessary. It can be done, easily so it's good if people realize that tool is available in a pinch. Thinking about it, i think the stethoscope might have been developed to dignify the old-time docs: can you imagine them putting their ear on peoples' chests? 🤣
great video!!!
Thank you! 😁😁😁
Love your videos xx
Wow....that first aid kit makes mine look nakey, lol. I have two different ones-abscess kit and wound kit. I need a new stethoscope.
I think I got my stethoscope on Amazon for about $10? I really like it, and can hear well with it. They also have a 'Sprague' style stethoscope, which I can hear REALLY well with. 😁 I wouldn't waste your money on the Littman stethoscopes. Those are nice, but the cheapies work just as well - in my opinion lol
Thank you for watching!
just letting yk that we could see everyones phone number when it first opened
omg my old mare ripped a hole in her face (years ago) she healed fine but she snagged the vein along her nose , it looked like a bloody murder took place in her run in but she stopped bleeding and was fine and healed great but what a horror show
I know what you mean. I had a horse that kicked through the back of his stall, and drug his leg back through, and cut the saphenous vein in his back leg. I have never seen so much blood! It was terrifying and looked like a murder scene. Holy cow that was scary! But I used my first aid supplies - which at the time I thought I had more than I would ever need - boy was I wrong! I used almost everything that I had while I wrapped his leg in a compression wrap to get the bleeding to stop.
It finally did stop, and the vet came out 3 times that day trying to get it so we could stitch it closed, But the horse wasn't having it. So daily dressing changes, and then every other day, and then every third day. And he did eventually heal it, but wow - that initial injury was intense! I think my vet knew how freaked out I was about all of the blood, and he said - a little blood looks like a lot when it's on the outside of the body, and boy was he right!
@@BudgetEquestrian I farm sit and a clients horse ( not on my time) had ran through a pole pipe fence and ran the pole right through her stomach ( horses omg !!!) but she lived and was fine. just unbelievable some of the trouble those get into. yet the wild mustangs seem perfectly fine. lol I don't know how you a nurse handle trauma, I'm great in emergency situations except when that happened to my mare I was actually hysterical and I literally could not think straight, I saw all the blood and tried to hold it in so I wouldn't upset my mare but it just burst out hysterical crying
