 A few years ago, I took PVC pipe, sawed it down the middle and then
smoothed the cut edges with sandpaper, before applying strips of duct tape
to the sanded edges. I keep them wrapped up in plastic in the barn in two
sets, one set goes if I haul anywhere. I didn't think to mention it before,
because I  just consider it part of the first-aid kits. I also carry one
short piece w/me in the cantlebag kit when I'm riding.


> > Can I suggestion another addition to those already mentioned?  A couple
of pieces of 2 x 4, one long enough to go from the ground to above the
horse's elbow and another from the ground to just below the elbow, all to
use as a temporary splint in case of a fracture on the road.
