Hmm, that sounds like a good first aid kit.. What I find double awesome as its stuff for the horses, but also works for any humans in need of help.

I just found this looking at first aid stuff, this should give you more ideas too!

Great start!

Here's what else I'd add to a small kit:

Saline solution for an eye wash and to rinse out whatever wounds you need to

A tube of banamine for colic, pain killer, muscle relaxant, etc.

Small flashlight for checking or doctoring anything you need to after dark

A couple of large non-stick gauze pads for pressure wounds

And my alltime favorite: epsom salts in a little butter tub, a bottle of water and some saran wrap. Takes out the swelling from insect stings, infection or whatever on either of you!

Antibacterial wipes, hoof pick, flashlight, gauze, Q Tips and cotton balls. Hmm I think thats all I can think of and where did you get the stethoscope?? (looking for 1 but coludn't find one)

Ok thanks!

years ago my vet told me to all ways keep a bag of flour in my trailer. you never know when you might get a bad cut that wont stop bleeding. the four can be used to pack in the cut to help slow down if not stop the bleeding. be sure to wash out the wound and the flour when you get home and doctor the wound as vet instructions. i have had to use flour to help with bleeding several times while i waited for my vet to get there.

definatly get some ace if your horse is jumpy like that
banamine...
well...
also a gallon bottle of wayer is always good for a triler med kit.....you'll never know what will need flushing

we always take tweezes in case of a splinter/anything else.....
nolvason??granulex???gauze wrap......a diaper....really they absorb blood v.well if you have a bad cut.....a diaper wrapped on w/ vet wrap is a life saver

syringes

Besides what you have, I also keep:
Scarlet Oil
Penicillin
Syringes of different sizes
Tetanus shots. The kind you give after a cut.
Rubber surgical gloves
Saline solution. The kind use for contacts.
