Mickey was voluntold, as my teachers would say! 😂 Poor Mickey! This video gave me a lot of information, thank you! I’m also really glad Joey recovered quickly from colic!

[@hollyotoole3011]

Mickey the un willing volunteer was very surprised with his temperature being taken but such a good boy 😂❤

[@Ellie.Mae.]

Things just kept coming out the box, I’m wondering how it all fits in😂 Really appreciate this video, things like this are what I need a recap on x

[@lucypasadoble]

Thank you so much Esme for posting this! I honestly needed this so much as I’m planning to get a horse soon. I appreciate this series so much ❤

[@jjlequestrian3240]

I always keep nappies in my first aid kit😂 Sounds ridiculous but they are the holy grail when it comes to hoof abscesses!

[@chuckthebrindlepittie6820]

Yes they are!

[@juliakowalczyk6474]

Wow!! I was expecting Mickey to be way more bothered by his temperature being taken! But he deserved those treats!

[@VIPEqTHud]

In my first aid kit I also have magnesium sulfate to make into a paste for a poultice. I also have nappies, they make the best covering for a hoof poultice, and finally I have a sterile trauma dressing. These are typically used fir gun wounds and bad trauma. They make excellent pressure bandages. A friend takes trauma coagulant granules hunting. I thought she was mad but she actually saved a horse from catastrophic bleeding 2 seasons ago. A ligature knife is good for cutting hay nets away fast and safely.

[@sierrac.m.602]

The second pair of scissors with the round ball on the tip are also preferred for cutting vet wrap/bandages off of your horse. If you’ve got a thick snug bandage on and are changing frequently, if you want to take it off quickly instead of unwrapping, you can safely run the rounded part inside the bandage against the skin without poking them in the skin or wound

[@kiraklausen9132]

My old horse once had a gigant deep cut to his knee. My vet recommended incontinence pads, because they are individually wrapped and sterile, and wont stick to the wound. Plus, they can stick to whatever you wrap around to secure it. Worked at charm :)

[@ella.harris_eventing]

Half of this I already have, my record book for pony club has vets number, regular TPR, etc😊

[@MichelleZB1]

In my first aid kit I also keep Swat. Idk if yall have that in England but it's basically an oitment that keeps flies away from wounds. In Texas, we have bad flies.

[@roseqclub2995]

This is perfect, i want to make a little first aid kit for my horses but i wasn't sure what i needed ❤

[@LoganSicely]

This was so helpful for me and I relate to having the scissors in your first aid kit, smart🤪

[@GhithaMay-nx4ww]

Every time i watch your videos it reminds me how much Horses are unique creatures and how much of a good influence you are for the next generation of equestrians!!!❤i have been watching your videos since 2018 and never get disappointed!!!

[@bellatyner6759]

[@heatherbathgate3849]

I have dentist bibs so you can lay all your bits and bobs out on the floor like bandages or tape and they don’t get dirty:)

Thank you so much for this info! I have some of these items and have read how to use them but never seen it in a video. So, so helpful! Mickey did great too 😁 I’m going to look for your hoof/shoe removal video now! 😃🙏

[@lgisellestephens5031]

Thanks Esme! This info was super helpful💕

[@equine.agri.em2011]

maybe how to prepare a ride. Like checking your stirups from the ground and checking your girth once on and different types of tack. dressage saddle , jumping saddle ect.💚💚💚

Also if you're able, tie a string to the thermometer. If you lose your grip and it goes on a journey you'll want to be able to get it back.

Hiii esme! Ty for this video it’s really good tips for beginners! Ur channel has really helped me and probably others! Love u Esme! Also where did u get these products? I’d love them for my horse!

[@javie8439]

Great educational video! I'd say maybe have a raiser nearby (not inside because as you said, it's not sterile) the emergency kit to clip around a wound or maybe give an injection, the vet should also have a raiser with them if they want to give some sort of injection or drip or anything, so it's not super required since you'd have the vet to do those kinds of things anyway. As you said, rounded siccors work just as well and they're easier to use around a wound without hurting the horse or anything:)

[@laurenschenck5355]

A horse at my yard had a hay net stuck round his hoof and was spooking at it and the owner called the farrier straight away to get the shoe off ❤

[@Tiny_grey_ponies]

I found this video really fascinating, thanks so much esme for telling us all about this! As a equestrian that doesn’t own her own pony I’m always eager to learn more about owning one! Xx (Please heart)

[@jessie7957]

So excited for this vid! Been waiting since i saw it on insta!

[@Tansy_Horses]

Hey esme! So i started watching every episode of ur beginners series yesterday and the amount that I have learnt is so impressive and it’s all from you! I’m going riding either tomorrow or Tuesday and I learnt so much stuff like how to tack up a horse entirely as-well! (And do my stirrups i always forget how to pull them down and buckle them 😂) Thank you so so so much! Never thought there would be a KZbinr as useful as you so thank you! Can’t wait to not have help from my trainer to do my stirrups! 😋😂🫶

U love you sm Esmeee can't wait to get some merch x poor mickey 😂

Do a video on hoof poultice video. Lots of people struggle with it. You could show the many different ways to do it

[@yenthegoor999]

Maybe a good idea to link which bucket and container you use. They look handy.

[@grahambloodworth4770]

Another useful piece of kit is a mobile phone power bank and charging lead for your make of phone. These once charged hold power to recharge your phone, useful if you are miles from a mains outlet.

[@user-qd1td7zb8q]

funny story about loosing hoofpicks, i lost 2 last year and this year i was doing a very thourough search just around the stable and found both hoofpicks!! they where covered in dirt and rust though.. but they where both behind the stables so im quite unsure how they ended up there..

[@Horselover_3761]

My friends horse passed away from colic unfortunately and she was very on top of all the signs you were talking about

[@layneathebutterfly4959]

I love your videos so much. Even when I have limited internet left. You are the youtuber I priorities! ❤ Only thing that bothered me. And this is probably just because I am so used to wound care. They aren't steril. They are just really clean. For it to be sterile it has to go thru a proses then be vacuum sealed and all that! But then again, it's probably just me who do a lot of medical wound care that actually cares about that stuff. 😊

[@ragnkja]

I wanted to comment this as well. To keep something sterile you need to keep it sealed up protected from any and all contaminants, including the atmosphere, and the moment a sterile thing touches a non-sterile thing, it stops being sterile.

[@ThisEsMe]

I do actually have some sterile towels - they've been autoclaved and then sealed in bags ( I just didn't want to open them on camera...and thus make them not sterile)

[@ragnkja]

@@ThisEsMe Best to keep them sealed in case you ever need them.

[@lesliebblevins12]

Thank you! Can you share the brand or dimensions of the plastic container you’re using for your kit? Scrolling through comments and can’t find. Been having a hard time finding a container that is large enough without being too large and love the one you put together :) Ty!

[@Quesitoperrito]

hello this esme your videos are incredible greetings.

[@lauras6800]

I don't have horses, but I have cats and a dog 😂 I think seringes are a good thing to keep in there too, they're good if you need wash or flash out wounds or if you need precision to put a medication. Also 70° or more alcohol to quickly disinfect your hands or a tool 😉 (edit: the alcohol also works to clean the thermometer 😂)

[@heyray2011]

I have wire cutters too, he was at at yard that wasn’t mine and he has barbwire wrapped around his hoof. It was so scary

[@katiehenson6013]

This might be weird, but for abcess’, we use diapers! It fits their hooves really well and you can put any sort of medicine/dressing on the hoof, and then you can vet wrap over the diaper, and ten duct tape! It is easier than using a cloth on their hooves

[@graceguy4700]

12:10 super random but my sister has diabetes and I think we got the same exact vet rap as you!

[@IslaCotton-kc9bx]

Do you keep your pony sun cream in there as well for Mickey.
