Location: NE TX | What do y'all keep your medicine bottles and syringes and needles in? I need to figure something different out. I have a two horse slant BP with an itty bitty "dressing room/tack room" and I'm running out of space to put my stuff. I have my splint boots along the wall on Velcro, I have my brushes and fly spray and that kind of stuff in one of those hanging things but I need to hang it on my door cause right now it is taking up hook space, I have all my buckets under my saddle rack. I just need a better place to put them.
Any other good storage ideas are welcome too!! |

| I bought a soft sided cooler off of Amazon for all my first aid stuff. It works great! Many pockets, keeps things clean and organized! |

It doesn't look like it's still available but I would think you could find one similar! |

| My hubb bought me a tool box that has separate little boxes on top (for needles) and a handled tray inside with a nice space below the tray. I keep bottled meds below the tray along with a plethora of other stuff (gloves, hemastats, elastic wrap, vet wrap, large tube meds <bute, electrolytes>), and filled syringes or small tube meds and scissors in the tray. There is room for about anything reasonable in my meds box and it is easy to carry and protects from bumps and light. |

I do this too plus I am a hypochondriac so I have a portable mini med kit, which I just keep in a diaper bag! |

I use a toolbox too. It's pretty handy. |

This is what I have. Mine has 4 drawers. 1 for needles and small things like my essential oils, 1 has just syringes, 1 has all my meds and the bottom one is the biggest so I put vet wrap, gauze, a knife- all that down there. |

Location: Oklahoma | I have a big toolbox. and then for meds I put in a small soft cooler that has a long strap that you can carry on your shoulder because I don't keep my meds in horse trailer because of weather changes. This makes it easy to carry back and forth to house. |

Toolboxes are good and so are plastic tackle boxes.
I have a tacklebox. It's easy for moving across different trailers and back to the tack room for winter. Needles and syringes in the top, drug bottles in the bottom. I use it for medicine only, and have "non-perishable" first aid kits in each trailer in soft sided bags that hang from the end bridle rack. I'm lucky to have a pro-active vet, who helps me stay well equipped for many emergencies, but with expiry dates and cost of some of the drugs, I only keep one fully stocked tacklebox of medicine. Each soft side first aid kit has a small baggie of needles/syringes and a bottle of banamine, though. |

Location: CTX | I use a cooler. The one I found is taller than most, so a bottle can easily stand upright. And for syringes and needles I just put them in seperate jars so they don't float around.
I use 1 as a medicine bag and another 1 for grain/ supplements if we go overnight. They stack and are easy to carry. And fit perfectly in the mangers.

Location: NE Wyoming | Tackle box, a large one lol. However, I do keep a diaper bag in the pickup with essentials (supplies to stop heavy bleeding, etc.) due to wrecking a trailer and having it roll onto the tack room side and we couldn't get in there to get the vet supplies.  |

| I use a toolbox that locks for controlled substances/needles and an accessory bag/make-up kit that has little zipper compartments and folds up and velcros into a tiny roll for the other stuff. Both of these work great. |
