Having horses doesn't come without its problems (and of course expense!) but like we have a first aid kit for ourselves horse owners tend to have a first aid kit for their horses and ponies (well should do anyway!). Don't be fooled into believing that already pre-made horse first aid kits are great as they simply are quite expensive and contain products that with luck you are never likely to use. Generally, there are a few key products which are vital and should be stocked at all times. One product I think most people have heard of is Hibiscrub - the antimicrobial skin cleanser which is used up and down the country in hospitals, doctors, veterinary practices. ...  Read the complete review

I am a nurse and, as such, use Hibiscrub every day at work. I have used it in my own home also, but I no longer use it in my own home - for the reasons that will become clear further on.

Hibiscrub is a pink coloured anti-bacterial soap product used widely in hospitals and veterinary clinics. It is also a very useful product to have around the house, especially if you keep pets as it can be used for both animals and humans. I have pet horses, dogs and cats and have used hibiscrub to bathe wounds on all of them and so far they have never become infected and seem to heal quite fast.
