Emergency HORSE Supplies
16
items These are all trusted items I keep in my horse emergency care tote. I use each of these items and recommend them to my clients when I teach basic equine wound care.
I use this on small scrapes/cuts when they are wet or bleeding. I keep adding more until the powder stops showing up wet on the wound. It keeps flies out and helps form scabs especially in summer months when ointment melts. I have used it for years a...
FARNAM Wonder Dust
A must have. I apply thin layers to bare spots with no hair. It makes the regrowing process much faster. It's also nice for softening scabs and fly bite healing. I have used it on my gelding's back legs (if you know you know). Typically will melt on ...
CORONA Multi-Purpose Horse Wound Care Ointment
Much more affordable than marked up eye care products for horses. When my horse comes in with swollen weeping eyes I try to take care of it first with a quick flush and a warm compress. I keep one in my emergency box and one in my grooming tote. Not ...
Equate Saline Solution for Sensitive Eyes
I usually order a box of multiple and keep them in the house leaving 2 in my emergency box and one in my car. I use this for wrapping deeper wounds and as my second layer for dressing for hoof abcess. Very stretchy and does stick to itself well if yo...
CoFlex Vet Bandage
My go to for hoof abcess and quick wound washing. Cheap and easily available.
Equate First Aid Iodine Antiseptic Liquid
If you buy a big bag you are set for years. I use this to soak hooves to draw out abcess and infection or just get a clean out before a thrush treatment!
Equate Epsom Salt Unscented
I keep this on hand for sore horses. Sole bruising, thrush sensitivities, post abcess care, laminitis related lameness, etc. There are so many uses for this to give your horse a softer support when they are lame. Its been extremely easy to work with ...
ABSORBINE Hooflex Magic Cushion
I have stopped using duck tape. The brand is thin compared to gorilla tape and the adhesive is nothing like it use to be. Gorilla tape has adhesive strong enough to dress my horses hooves for abcess. I typically buy small rolls because they are easie...
Gorilla Black Duct Tape 10 yd
These are a very good price, easy to write on with a sharpie for labeling, and I use them for everything. I have one for Pinesol to spray stalls down to keep out flies. One for iodine to get a good stream to clean out cracks and crevices in wounds an...
Mainstays Plastic Spray Bottle 28 oz.
This is a life saver. I believe you need a prescription from your vet for this one. But when no one will come out for a potential colic or will take hours to get there is great to have this on hand ready to give at the first signs of distress. I stor...
BANAMINE Paste for Horses
Much smaller amount so if you only have one horse or don't know if you will like it try this link first! I noticed a huge difference in my lamanitic gelding's standing within an hour.
Absorbine Hooflex Magic Cushion Hoof Packing, 2 lb.
I keep one tube of this on hand. 4 doses in one tube. Its expensive but works fast on horses in distress from gastric ulcers. Doses are small and the syringe is easy to use. Got relief on day 2.
ULCERGARD
Good for soaking really thrushy feet before a treatment!
Betasept
Good for scrubbing out dirt in hoof cracks and soles. Just makes my life easier bc my hoof pick has plastic bristles that never stay the shape they need to.
Shoehandle Steel Wire Brush
I put this on everything. Around the corners of the mouth for bit irritation prevention, scabs, things that don't need medicine, calluses, my hands when they crack, goat udders, goat horns, you name it.
Bag Balm Original Ointment
1
On hot summer days if I notice a horse looking lethargic I'll give them a boost with this. I've noticed a difference in my horses when they have this as an option. Always give them a choice between this or straight water. My horses are good and if I ...
