First Aid :: Nixon Equine Vets
It is only commonsense that you keep a first aid kit in your stable with essential items readily to hand in the event of injury to your horse. A first aid kit will be invaluable for dealing with minor problems not requiring veterinary intervention, and for more serious problems to tide you over until a vet can see your horse. If you regularly transport your horse, for hacking, hunting or competition, it is also wise to have another first aid kit kept permanently on your horse transport.
