It's more just a way of life. I've either had my horses at home, at someone else's home, or at a barn where you are totally on your own (they provide the stall and someone to toss hay).<br /><br />Since I have always been responsible for my own horse care, I've acquired the list of medical supplies that I've found I've needed, feel comfortable administering, or thought might come in handy someday. And having been an endurance rider for nearly two decades taught me a lot about emergency health care and best practices for moving sick or injured horses.<br /><br />My medical emergency kit is stored in a large plastic tub with a tight fitting lid. It's clearly labeled with a sharpie marker and I go through it now and again to refresh what might have been used. The stethoscope and thermometer are the two items I use more than any other thing. Having a trailer also makes dealing with medical issues (my own or a friend's) easier to handle because I can usually get to the hospital more quickly than the vet can get to me.<br /><br />And since most of my friends keep their horses at home, I always have an emergency destination available.<br /><br />Having a plan and resources to deal with emergencies is critical since emergencies can and do happen. Good topic to get people thinking and acting!Bakersfield Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571487914424695283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044855508651000032.post-8919256374491467622013-06-27T09:45:29.574-07:002013-06-27T09:45:29.574-07:00Yes me too!
