I'm looking to stock up a good travelling horse medical kit to keep in
the trailer for rides this year. One of the better ones I've seen was
a large plastic (rubbermaid?) tool box with some things in the upper
tray and bigger stuff underneath.
What do you folks recommend for 1) the box, and 2) for content?
thanks,
Mia
Hi Mia,

ago at an area college. The instructor gave us this list which I will 
pass on to you. By the By her husband is a veterinarian, so the list is 
large.
