[RC] What is in you saddle bags..and NOT - shermanTitle: MessageJust
remember NOT to have all the "important stuff" on the horse as you may need
it if you get separated. I keep the iodine tablets in my waist pack, along with
the chapstick, ibuprofen or naproxen, cell phone, ID, EmergenC, a small knife
and keys. I think I'll add a whistle and one of those tiny but bright
flashlights and something highly reflective for signalling.
What I've had to
borrow because I didn't have it...an easyboot to protect my horse's frog after a
nail puncture, The nail was sticking out in a way that Shadow could not set her
hoof down until I pulled it out. It bled nicely, then we booted her to get her
back home. She wasn't even lame on it with the boot for protection. Of course
later she did get an abcess and shed nearly her entire frog. I was never so
happy that someone in the group had an easyboot as that day.
