A note from Dr. Alaire:

I have put together this complete, farm and stable/trailering first aid medical 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 medical supplies in the EquiKit™ "DELUXE" are the identical items I keep on hand in my own barn

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 unforeseen accident or condition.
 

*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.
