[loopy1]

re purple spray...
was recently asked by a dog walker why id spray painted my horse, lol

ets, have also been asked why my horse is blindfolded...(fly mask)

I keep a substantial kit in one of those big plastic tool cases you get from diy stores. It doubles as a horse and human kit and has just about everything for treating minor cuts on fingers to the more serious stuff though I promise the stephescope is for listening to colicky horses only.

I might just point out that whether you kit is for horses, humans, or both, it is essential to keep it realy clean, hygenic and well organised.

lol, mines practically filed into sub sections, but arnica on bedside table, deoderant on bedside table.....

 

[Razzledazzle]

I haven't ...yet.
But I do know that my vet uses wound powder on his own cuts..

 

[jenb]

Oh yes. Got a nasty cut on my leg right where the stirrup leather lies and didn't want to stop riding, so I put a Skintact dressing on it, wrapped it with Soffban and put a Vetrap over the top. Did the job nicely, I could ride in comfort!

 

[Kay2]

Yeah....why not! If its good enough for my babies it will be fine for me!

It's also better stocked than my bathroom cabinet...lol...so am frequently out on the yard getting savlon or vetrap bandages!

 

[Flony_Pony]

Vet wrap is the most usefull thing in the world!!!
