FAQ

What’s the fastest way to audit my kit?

Lay everything out by category, toss expired items, wipe containers, and restock consumables. Put the trailer kit on a separate mat so it returns to the trailer immediately.

Gel under wraps and pads—any tips?

Use a thin, even layer on intact skin and allow full absorption before gear. Wipe any excess to avoid slippage and monitor heat/tension during use.

When do I call the vet?

Uncontrolled bleeding, deep/puncture wounds, eye injuries, severe lameness, fever, colic signs, choke, or anything that worries you. When in doubt, call.

Stock it once. Ride ready, every time.

Keep the essentials tight and trusted—no sting, no smell, wrap-friendly once absorbed.
