Do You Pack a Horse First Aid Kit on the Trail?

Have you ever seen the lists some folks have created of items they think every rider should pack when hitting the trail? Jeepers, these lists are long. They have you ready for anything. If you can handle it (maybe you have an extra burro to bring with you), more power to you. Maybe I’ll be sorry, but I just can’t make myself pack for armageddon when I head out for a trail ride.

But I did just recently come across a nifty little item at SmithBrothers.com that I’m considering purchasing to take on long and overnight rides. It’s an equine first aid kit that fits into a horn bag. Now, there are plenty of equine first aid kits out there, but most of them are either giganto or so small as to be useless. With this one they have somehow managed to fit 35 different products into the small horn bag. Pretty nifty.
