The purpose of a first aid kit is to provide you with the tools and supplies you need to give immediate care to your horse.
I have 3 barn first aid kits. One next to the crossties that holds frequently used items.
The other two are in the tack room.
I keep a commercial human first aid kit right by the door.
And I keep my custom trauma kit ready when I need it and at room temperature. I assembled all of the essential tools and supplies for dealing with a wound in a large plastic container with a snap lid. (Available in the home storage section of your favorite department store).
When an emergency strikes, I know when I open my kit, all the necessary items will be there, ready to use.
