It doesn’t matter whether you have one horse or a barn full of them, chances are – you have a very large medicine cabinet for your four-legged friends. Alcohol, iodine, gauze, this, that and the other. There are so many products, and brands, and choices. Here are a few of our ‘must-have’s’:
What horse owner doesn’t have a roll or five of the ever-popular cohesive bandaging tape – otherwise known as ‘VetWrap’, ‘Flexwrap’ or in our case Jack’s Prorap. This bandaging wrap stretches and only sticks to itself to hold in place gauze, cottons, and so much more. Heck, we’ve seen it used on hockey sticks, oars, as leg wraps to keep sport socks up – once as a repair all for a windshield wiper on a car. Seriously though – it is a definitely a must-have in the barn.
$2.25 / roll – various colours available.
