You can tailor it to your own needs/budget. *Thermometer - Normal temperature should be between 99.0 and 101.5 degrees F. *Stethoscope - To monitor heart rate. Your horse's heartbeat can be heard most clearly just behind the left elbow. It is also useful for listening for gut sounds. *Flashlight *Electrolytes,powder and paste for dehydration. *Neosporin - This should be applied twice daily to minor abrasions and in wounds that are superficial wounds (the skin edges cannot be moved separately). *Diluted iodine solution - To flush out any full thickness wounds (the skin edges can be moved separately).

The one exception would be contaminated sole wounds. Peroxide can be used to clean these out initially. It should not be placed into any other type of wound. *Knife for making splints, cutting bandaging materials, cutting your horse free from a tangled rope, etc. Use extreme care when using a knife around your horse. *Wire cutters - In the event a horse has gotten tangled up in fence or wire. *Twitch This tool can help calm and restrain your horse during painful procedures. *Hoof pick To clean out the bottom of the foot to search for punctures, bruising, or other foot problems. *Fly lotion - This can be used to keep flies and other insects from irritating and contaminating open wounds that cannot be bandaged.
