> NEW FOR THE ROAD
>  
> Don’t start your engine unless your kit is on board !   Your EquiMedic USA 
> first aid kit should always be within reach for the safety of your horses and 
> you.  If you haul the nation’s roadways with your horses in tow, the new 
> EquiMedic Large Trailering First Aid Kit should be as handy to your trailer as your 
> spare tire. 
>  
> Rated for from four to ten horses, the new EquiMedic Large Trailering Kit 
> joins its cousin, the Small Trailering Kit (rated for from one to three horses), 
> that has been in the marketplace for two years now.  These kits are designed 
> to be kept in your trailer and augment your EquiMedic Barn Kit, which always 
> stays at the home site. 
>  
> “We’ve evolved into a very mobile equestrian society,” notes Dr. Rick 
> Norton, equine practitioner from Lincoln, NE.  “The days of hooking up and loading 
> up a half dozen times a summer and trying to remember to throw your medical 
> supplies in the trailer each time are long gone,” he adds.  The noted horse 
> doctor sees many horse owners with great intentions, but who arrive at their 
> destinations without any emergency supplies for their very active horse partners or 
> themselves. 
>  
> All of EquiMedic USA’s full line of equestrian first aid kits are equipped 
> to protect horse and rider.  The new Large Trailering Kit features 59 different 
> products and 342 items in a bright red soft sided kit, designed to travel the 
> highways of the country in your saddle compartment or trailer tack room.  
> Created to keep all of your emergency supplies well organized, and in handy reach 
> with a variety of clear and solid pockets, zippered sections, and loops, this 
> kit is the ultimate as your traveling medical companion.  This kit was 
> specifically designed for horse owners pulling living quarters trailers hauling 
> multiple horses and people. 
>  
> Whether you haul your horses for pleasure, recreation or competition, 
> EquiMedic USA believes it is your personal responsibility to be prepared for 
> anything, if you are ten miles away from home or a thousand miles down the road.  The 
> trailering series of first aid kits is one of their most popular products, 
> and the new Large Trailering Kit is the final in the two-set series.
>  
> “Today’s larger horse trailers see many miles of hauling, and your horse’s 
> health should be ensured by having a quality first aid kit on board,” Dr. 
> Norton contends. 
>
>   “On-site first aid until a veterinarian can take over is the owner’s 
> responsibility,” he challenges.  “The owner is normally the first on the scene 
> and can have a positive role in the outcome of the emergency if armed with the 
> right first aid supplies and some common sense and knowledge,” he adds.
>  
> EquiMedic USA is the world leader in designing and manufacturing horse and 
> rider first aid kits.  With six complete kits available to horse owners, the 
> company has two more kits that will be available to the equestrian marketplace 
> later this summer.  Newly planned kits: the Medium Trail Riding and the Medium 
> Barn Kits will join the existing Economy, Small Horn Bag Trail Riding, Small 
> Trailering, Large Trailering, Small Barn, and Professional Kits.  The two new 
> kits will be rated for from four to ten horses and riders.
>  
> Available through their web site:  www.equimedic.com , EquiMedic USA offers 
> their kits as complete kits and kit contents only, as well as offering a “
> Build Your Own” feature.  They also make all of their 85 individual products and 
> supplies and 70 optional products available to augment these kits and replace 
> used items.  There are 13 kit styles to choose from, both soft and hard sided, 
> including a large molded mobile caddy.
>  
> “We hope that your EquiMedic first aid kit will be your best insurance 
> against ever having to use it,” is the operating statement of this unique new 
> century company.  EquiMedic USA first aid kits are also sold by Smart Pak Equine, 
> Dover Saddlery and Smith Brothers, as well as a host of regional tack and 
> saddle shops.  
>  
> In a continuing cooperative partnership with USRider Motor Plan to help keep 
> the nation’s traveling horse owners safe on the highways, EquiMedic USA will 
> also offer this new Large Trailering Kit at a discount to USRider members.  
> Horse owners who carry the USRider Equestrian Motor Plan for nationwide 
> trailering assistance can check in to that web site at:  www.usrider.org  for the 
> discount code to use when ordering either of EquiMedic USA’s trailering kits on 
> www.equimedic.com.
