Having a horse also means dealing with little daily injuries! 😩 You don't always know what to bring with you to handle as many situations as possible... So today, we've prepared a little list to try to answer all your questions and properly fill your first aid kit. 😇
Disinfectants and skin care 🌿
We start simply by filling our kit with the essentials that should always be nearby! Disinfectant, healing cream, sunscreen, wound soaps... Horses can quickly get a little injury from a bite or a misstep, for example. 🐴
So we equip ourselves with:

Hoof and foot care 💕
No feet, no horse! We all know this little saying that is so explicit when our horse has its first abscess or a damaged frog...👩🏽⚕️
Fortunately, there are plenty of products to guard against risks and treat quickly ❤️
For this, we recommend adding to your pharmacy:
💕 Hoof tape that will relieve the horse and prevent sole infections: Hoof Tape - Kentucky
💕 Adhesive tape to prevent shoe loss or for other issues: Tesa Tape - Kentucky
💕 Blond ointment to protect the foot and deeply nourish the hoof: Hoof Grease - Kevin Bacon's
💕 A care boot that will relieve the foot and ensure perfect hygiene, recommended for abscesses: Davis Horse Boot - Horse Master
💕 A cleaning spray to destroy bacteria and clean cracks: Disinfectant Spray - Red Horse
For their limbs...🌼
The limbs are heavily used in horses, and when the ground is hard or deep, it can lead to injuries, tendinitis, or swellings 👀
To limit injuries, or conversely, to treat them, clay, care gels, and other products are essential to know ❤️
To add to your pharmacy kit and daily care, we also have:
🌼. A cooling gel that limits the heating of tendons thanks to arnica, mint, or aloe vera: Cooling gel - Equinatura
🌼. A clay pot, whether for limbs or the body, it reduces inflammation, edema, and relieves pain: Must Have - Alodis Care
🌼. A cohesive bandage to treat and protect injuries: Flex-wrap - Hippotonic
And finally, the essentials...🌸
There are many pathologies in horses and some products will be dedicated to them, for example in the case of navicular disease...✨
We still had a few items to recommend, which will be very useful in case of problems:
🌸 A muzzle basket, to ration the horse in case of colic or diets, it allows for grazing and drinking nonetheless: Muzzle basket - Imperial Riding
🌸 Eye serum to clean impurities and limit potential swelling: Clin d'oeil - Compagnons & Cie
🌸 An oral syringe to train the horse to take dewormers or to ensure the oral intake of medications: Oral dosing syringe - Ekkia
We have finished our "little" list of essential products to fill your pharmacy kit! 🧑⚕️
