All other contents are purchased and supplied to my EquiKit™'s fresh, such as the Latex Nitrile Exam Gloves,
Gauze Pads, batteries for the Flashlight, and including the SyrVet Cohesive bandage

some items may have slightly different packaging, shape, or color than those items seen in my Equikit™ Basic photos.}*All of the items in the EquiKit™ Basic fit into an easy-to-clean, clear-sided plastic box
with snap-lid and carry handle, to keep items clean, dry, visible, and organized.

Entire Equikit™ Basic measures: 8" x 9" x 7 1/2" & weighs 4 1/2 lbs. not packed for shipping.From Doc Alaire...
I have been an equine veterinarian for 17 years and an avid rider for 30 years.
I am an active member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP)
as well as other professional Veterinary organizations and am in clinical practice.
I enjoy spending time with young horse people in 4H and work with a handicapped riding program.
I have also enjoyed working for breeding farms and large boarding facilities, being the
'track Vet' for harness horses, and still have occasion to venture out to various locations
across the U.S. to be entrusted with pre-purchase veterinary examinations.
We are proud to stand our impressive registered stallion Zelos, at our farm for a very limited number of breedings.
I also enjoy working with weanling's, and am blessed to have spent valuable time with Ray Hunt.
I have put together this Basic-Size, equine first aid medical kit (EquiKit™ Basic) after many years of practical
clinical experience on what would be an adequate collection of medical supplies essential to
have on hand for an emergency or everyday minor bump, cut, or condition.I prefer to use a Clear-Sided carry case so that medical supplies
can be readily identified and retrieved when you need them in a hurry.
Also, just a quick look can help you identify what you might need to restock in the Equikit™ Basic.
I have seen clients with duffle bags and back-pack style bags have the entire contents
of other Equine kits, spilled-out onto the barn floor getting quite dirty, in a
furious attempt to retrieve something needed for their injured horse.
I discourage the use of canvas-style, nylon, or cloth carry bags used to 'sack' equine
medical supplies such as bandaging materials, as they can be good hosts for the
development of mold spores, particularly when stored in a barn.
The EquiKit™'s non-porous surface can be wiped clean and it resists water and dust.
Retards mildew, rot, and will not retain odors!*This EquiKit™ Basic is to aid you in helping your horse while you wait for your vet to come. I have been on many, many horse emergencies over the past 17 years. On occasion, while on these vet calls,
I find that the horse owner did not have much in the way of medical supplies put together.
Things would have gone smoother for all involved if a thoughtful collection of medical
supplies had been on hand and the client had a basic strategy and plan ready to implement before I had arrived.
Most importantly, become even more acquainted with horse health issues and how to recognize them.
Also, get to know your horses’ normal patterns and behaviors. Practice how to do health care tasks like
treating a wound, taking a temp and pulse, or applying a leg wrap BEFORE a crisis happens.
The very best way to increase your knowledge base is to continue to read the horse health care literature,
review my 'Horse Keeping Reference Guide' contained in the Equikit™ Basic,
and partner with your own Equine veterinarian. Having a plan with some practice, and keeping on
hand an equine medical kit like the Equikit™ Basic, or my Equikit™ Deluxe, will help you keep
your cool in an emergency and better help your horse prior to the arrival of your veterinarian.Also found in the EquiKit™ Basic is my 'Horse Keeping Reference Guide' which I compiled and wrote after many, many years of treating horse emergencies. It is simply a clear and concise guide about 'Horse & Rider's Hands-On Horse Care'. *My 'Guide' will also give you the information you need to effectively use all of the items in the Equikit™ Basic.
I've found this to be the best information to offer you since it comes from my own clinical experience,and because
some of the 'Guides' available out there today can conflict with one another as to the approaches they offer.
*Also, please note below, a new and excellent educational material I have chosen to add to the
Equikit™ Basic from the American Association of Equine Practitioners"
"Guidelines to Follow During Equine Emergencies".
As an active member, I have access to this and other resources and you should have a copy of it.
It was written by excellent, member Equine Veterinarians which I believe you will find to be great
adjunctive reading to go along with my 'Horse Keeping Reference Guide'.Thanks for your interest and I ask that you carefully consider this Equikit™ Basic as a meaningful and
prudent choice for yourself, your Trainer, or another horse owner.
Also, a great idea for the first time horse owner or those doing a good bit of trailering.FREE SHIPPING TO THE LOWER 48!
