Let's be honest, horses have a way of finding trouble! Whether they get kicked in the field, pick a fight with a fence or pull a shoe, there's always something. So, don't wait until it's too late! It's time you invested in a first aid kit for your tack room. After-all, it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. Here we're going to be taking a look at what's included in the Effol First Aid Kit and how each of the products can be used.
