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 rather complete, farm and stable/trailering first aid medical kit (EquiKit™ "DELUXE" ) after many years of practical clinical experience on what would be at a minimum, essential to have on hand for an emergency or everyday minor bump, cut, or condition. *There are very important reasons why I have chosen the items contained within the EquiKit™ "DELUXE" !! My goal is to provide you with a balance between affordability and having the correct breadth of medical supplies to treat most urgent-care situations prior to your vet arriving or while away at an event. Designed to be grabbed at a moments notice and easily carried to your horse in need, without having to take the time to think: "do I have everything?!" I've reflected back at the calls I've gone on in the past where a horse was in trouble, and I have consulted with friends who are also horse vets. From this I've tailored the medical supplies found in the EquiKit™ "DELUXE" . You will find that the EquiKit™ "DELUXE" goes well beyond what is found in many other horse first aid kits. I believe it is very unfair to you and your horse, whose welfare rests entirely with us, to incorporate items which are virtually useless when treating most urgent medical care situations. Articles like alcohol prep pads, saline wipes, povidone iodine patches or swabs, 'cleansing swabs', and the like seem to be 'filler-type' items and are virtually useless when treating most urgent-care situations. The EquiKit™ "DELUXE" medical supplies are found below. I have taken into account bulk purchasing, use of brand name and therapeutically equivalent generic items, and made careful selection of the items in my EquiKit™ "DELUXE" to give you the best return on your investment. The medical supplies in the EquiKit™ "DELUXE" are the identical items I keep on hand in my own barn. Applicable items are 'med-surg' quality. Some first aid kits available today have a nice assortment of bandaging materials and such, but I feel many of them do not have the right variety and mix of medical supplies in them which are at a minimum, essential to have on hand to treat the odd mishaps and conditions which are more common place than one might realize. In other words, 'you get what you pay for!' You do want a Kit which offers affordability, but you also need a Kit which offers your horse the supplies necessary to treat her or him for an unforseen accident or condition. I have also decided 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™ "DELUXE". 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 also feel that canvas-style, nylon, or cloth carry bags used to 'sack' equine medical supplies such as bandaging materials, 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. WILL NOT MILDEW, ROT, OR RETAIN ODORS! *This EquiKit™ "DELUXE" 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™ "DELUXE", and partner with your own Equine veterinarian. Having a plan with some practice, and keeping on hand an equine medical kit like the Equikit™ "DELUXE", will help you keep your cool in an emergency and better help your horse prior to the arrival of your veterinarian. Found in the EquiKit™ "DELUXE" also, 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™ "DELUXE". 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, the new and excellent educational materials I have chosen to add to the EquiKit™ DELUXE" from the American Association of Equine Practitioners. As an active member, I have access to these resources and you should have a copy of them. They have been 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™ "DELUXE" 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!
