Location: NC | What do you keep them in?
I was using a tool box type deal but it ended up getting ruined. And it was just too big and clunky to fit anywhere in the trailer nicely. I just need something big enough to put the travel essentials in. I have an entire cabinet of stuff for at the house.

Location: Randolph, Utah | I have a plastic set of drawers I got at Walmart and I keep my stuff in that. I have a smaller Tupperware that I keep my banamine/Dex/bute and syringes and needles in. Works well and fits in my trailer. I did have to put a brick in the bottom drawer cause it kept tipping over. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I don't mean to steel the thread but wondering what you guys put in your first aid kits? I've got a hodge podge of stuff scattered throughout the truck, LQ and trailer. I need to get it in one spot. Give me some ideas on things we all should have packed. |

I don't mean to steel the thread but wondering what you guys put in your first aid kits? I've got a hodge podge of stuff scattered throughout the truck, LQ and trailer. I need to get it in one spot. Give me some ideas on things we all should have packed.
This is what I have for my TRAILER kit:
Underwoods
Gauze pads
A ton of VetWrap
A few syringes of Banamine (I keep the vial in the barn)
Needles
Bute
Scissors
Digital thermometer on a string
Stethoscope
Hay string (I keep it everywhere. You really never know when you'll need it for something)
I also have a bottle of Air Power in my trailer in case one gets bothered by the dust in a barn when we go somewhere overnight. Had one pick up the crud pretty bad last year at a winter show.

Location: Kansas | My first aid stuff is split between the organizer on my trailer door and one of the bins inside the tack room. Heavy stuff in the bin, lightweight stuff (syringes, rags, vet wrap, Flair strips) is in the hanging organizer. I have at times consolidated it into a small zip up travel bag but its much easier to have all of it and do everything right there at the trailer.
Sore no more Liniment
Thermaflex
either Ice Tight or Sore No More poultice
Underwoods & baking powder
Usually some random antiseptic powder that you can puff onto a cut (it looks like flour when it comes out LOL)
Clean rags - flour sack towels are my favorites for rubbing liniment on legs
Air Power, Ventipulmin, Flair strips and Clearex (also need clean syringes for Air Power & Ventipulmin)
Banamine, Bute, Lasix (which reminds me I need to get more just in case)
Iodine, vet wrap, gauze pads, diapers, maxi pads (those last two are great for wrapping wounds) |

Location: Way up North | I have a tall plastic toolbox thing on wheels. It has a couple drawers, a flip top, and a tilt out bottom thing. Is use the drawers to organize my needles, vet wrap, gauze pads, drugs, etc. Top I put jars that are too tall for the drawers and some brushes. The bottom tilt out I put my linatments, poultices, spray bottles, Air Power, and anything else I use to put my horse up or get him ready to run. I just wheel in to the barn or out to the trailer. It's kind of big but it has everything I need in it and it's easy to move around. |

Location: CTX | I use a cooler. Had a tube of bute leak one nice TX summer day when I had it in a little toolbag. That was quit the mess.... The cooler is one that can hold 2 liter bottles upright. And it has a carrying handle. So far it's working. |
