Bleeding Control

The most critical category — severe bleeding is the #1 preventable cause of death from trauma.

CAT Tourniquet (Gen 7)
×2

For limb bleeds that won't stop with pressure. The standard of care.

QuikClot Combat Gauze
×2 packs

Hemostatic gauze for wounds where a tourniquet can't be applied.

Israeli Bandage (6")
×4

Pressure bandage for large wounds. Faster and more effective than improvised dressings.

Nitrile Gloves (L & XL)
×10 pairs

Always glove up before touching blood. Keep multiple sizes.

Trauma Shears
×1 pair

Cut through clothing, boots, and tack quickly without moving the patient.

Fractures & Immobilization

Falls from horses are the leading cause of serious equestrian injury. Immobilize first, move second.

SAM Splint (36")
×2

Moldable aluminum splint for arm, wrist, ankle, and lower leg fractures.

SAM Splint (18")
×2

Shorter version for wrists and ankles.

Elastic Bandage (4")
×6

Secure splints and provide compression. Reusable.

Cervical Collar (adjustable)
×1

For suspected neck injuries after a fall. Do not move the patient without it.

Wound Care

Wire lacerations, kick wounds, and punctures are common barn injuries. Clean and cover fast.

Sterile Saline Wound Wash (18 oz)
×2 bottles

Irrigate wounds to remove debris before bandaging. Do not use hydrogen peroxide.

Non-Stick Gauze Pads (4×4)
×20

Primary dressing for open wounds. Non-adherent so removal doesn't reopen the wound.

Medical Tape (2")
×4 rolls

Secure dressings to skin and over clothing.

Steri-Strips / Wound Closure Strips
×2 packs

Close small lacerations without sutures.

Antiseptic Wipes (BZK)
×30

Clean skin around wounds and equipment.

Tweezers (fine-tip)
×1

Remove splinters, wire fragments, and debris.

Burns

Barn fires move fast. Treat burns immediately while waiting for EMS.

Burn Dressing (4×4)
×4

Sterile, water-gel dressing that cools burns and prevents contamination.

Burn Gel (3.5 oz)
×2

Topical cooling gel for minor burns. Do not use butter or oils.

Sterile Water (500ml)
×2 bottles

Cool burns with running water for 10–20 minutes. Sterile water is preferred.

CPR & Airway

CPR supplies are only useful if someone is trained. Pair these with RideSafe training.

CPR Face Shield / Mask
×2

Barrier protection for rescue breathing. Compact enough to keep in a pocket.

Pocket BVM (bag-valve mask)
×1

More effective than mouth-to-mouth for rescue breathing if trained to use it.

Naloxone (Narcan) Nasal Spray
×1 kit

Opioid overdose reversal. Available OTC in California. Keep on hand.

Tools & Equipment

The supplies that make everything else work.

Headlamp (rechargeable)
×1

Hands-free lighting for night emergencies or dark barn aisles.

Mylar Emergency Blanket
×4

Treat shock and hypothermia. Weighs almost nothing.

Permanent Marker
×2

Write tourniquet application time on the patient's skin or forehead.

Notepad & Pen

Record vital signs, medication times, and patient information for EMS handoff.

RideSafe First Aid Manual
×1

Written for equestrian facilities. Step-by-step protocols for every scenario in this kit — kicks, falls, snake bites, cardiac arrest, and more.

Large Waterproof Hard Case (14"+ interior)
×1

Must be large enough to hold all items above. Look for a case with a minimum 14"×10"×6" interior, waterproof seal, and wall-mount capability. Search Amazon for 'large waterproof hard case first aid outdoor' and choose a case rated for outdoor/industrial use.
