First Aid Kit for Horse and Rider

Product Feature – First Aid Kit, Everything Horse Magazine

It’s happened before and chances are, it’ll happen again. How many times have you reached for a first aid kit down the yard and there’s not one to be seen? It’s not only necessary to have items you need in an emergency for a horse, stocking up on items for yourself and other ‘yard goers’ is just as important. Here we take a look at first aid kits available to horse and rider.


It’s advisable that every horse owner should have a well stocked first aid kit for their horse, but what exactly should be in it?

Here’s some essentials: Cotton wool, gauge, scissors, thermometer, anti-bacterial scrub, anti-bacterial cream, duct tape, poultice, gamgee, stable bandages, bandages for dressings, wound gel, wound wash, poultice dressing.

For the rider – from scrapes to falls, injuries down the stables can range from those that need an A&E dash, to a quick nick with only a little ‘tlc’ needed.
