An Equine First Aid Kit

KW Saddlery

There are a few essentials you should have on hand in case of an emergency. First aid kits for horses needn’t be elaborate. In fact, a lot of the items will be similar to a human first aid kit. (There should be one of those in the barn too.) The quantities of many things may need to be greater, and bandages and wraps will be a bit different. For instance, a disposable diaper can be a good compress or bandage in an emergency. And plain old salt water is cheap, and good for treating several different injuries such as cuts and eye infections. Top Ten Essential Items for a Horse First Aid Kit makes recommendations for what you’ll need to handle most health emergencies and injuries until the veterinarian arrives.

When A Horse Is In Pain

KW Saddlery

Remember if you or a member of your family is in pain and is suffering, in most cases, they will let you know. They speak to you and tell you where it hurts; you then do all that is in your power to help them get out of that situation. The horse does the same; the only difference is they tell you through body language not through the use of a verbal communication. These are the same body signs that we use if you look closely. When members of your family are in pain and you look into their eyes you might remember that the eyes of the person effected with pain has less than bright eyes. Their eyes are dull and somewhat cloudy, the horse is the same.

Their eyes are very expressive, look deeply into them the more pain that a horse does suffer the more clouded the eye does become. The member of your family that becomes sore and does not what to do anything, so does the horse. That same member of the family becomes crabby and short in their acceptance of situations, so do horses. Again in different ways, the member of your family shouts and yells verbally and the horse reacts through the use of their body by biting or challenging and/or kicking. The horse is not mean; the horse hurts and wants to be left alone, just as you would until you felt better.

Remember to be more observant and relate to the horse in the only manner that the horse can. You need to learn to speak their language and help them through their situation. Remember that pain is pain and comfort is comfort.
