Collection: First Aid for Riders and Stables

Accidents are rarely predictable, but the right equipment can make a real difference when they happen. First aid is therefore a natural part of safety work in the stable, during training and at competitions, where riders, horse owners and officials alike may need to act quickly before professional care is available.

In this category you'll find products selected to suit the equestrian environment, from smaller first aid kits to equipment that's easy to bring along in the trailer, the car or the tack room. What they all have in common is that they're designed to be readily accessible when the situation calls for it.

First aid adapted for equestrian sport

Equestrian sport involves working with large animals, transport and equipment, which places different demands than many other leisure activities. A first aid kit kept close at hand can be an important part of your safety equipment, both in the stable and on the way to training or competition.

By regularly checking the contents and topping up consumables, you make sure the equipment is ready to use whenever it's needed.

Equipment that's always within reach

Many riders choose to keep a first aid kit in several places, such as the stable, the horse trailer or the car, so that equipment is always available no matter where the riding takes place. For those who compete or travel a lot with their horse, it can also help to have a smaller training bag with a tourniquet, which easily fits among the rest of the gear.

An important part of safety

First aid never replaces medical care, but the right equipment can ease that first response while waiting for professional help. Combined with knowledge of how to use the equipment – for example by practising with a Mini Anne CPR mannequin and our Training Kit, or by reading the book Säker Ridsport – it becomes an important part of thoughtful safety work, both day to day and at the competition venue.
