Location: Nowhere Special | I feel stupid posting this, I'll just get that out of the way.. LOL I sold my mare I brought down to tx with me, and bought a "rescue" horse on a whim this past weekend.. (whole other story for another time) Anyway I have NOTHING here, I hauled everything back up north with me when I went for the summer, and a friend was suppose to bring it down when he came, long story, less long, hes still not here, horse gets here tomorrow and I don't even have so much as a halter with me here! Trying to make a basic list of essential stuff I can get by with for a week or so while I have the more expensive things mailed down.. Its hard after accumulating things for a lifetime to not have ANYTHING because you forget half of what you need till you go to grab it and its not there..
so far
Halter and lead rope
brush
hoof pick
blanket
and then I'm drawing a blank.... What else I know I'm missing a ton of stuff I'm going to need to just get by with or is cheaper to buy then ship as far as basic care stuff.. |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | Let me see if I can think. Not sure of your set up but here goes:
Buckets and Tubs for feed storage, transport to stall and for him to eat out of
Feed Scoop
Hay Rack/Net/Bag
Water Trough/Water Hose
Electri De-icer for water buckets depending on how cols it is there for you unless oyu don't mind chipping ice
Blanket
Hay fork/Stall fork
Bucket/wheel barrow to haul droppings
Shavings for stall
Also, If he is a rescue search this forum for rscue horse nutrition posts. Lots of great advice on here about bringing one back to life. Good Luck.

If youa re just petting/rehabbing. I think you are covered with the super basics.
Go browse the store. It will hit you if you need it. :) |
