[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2223757, member: 63925"] Eye salve is one thing I always carried. Sticks, bugs and whatever that irritates the crap out of them. Plus horse shoeing stuff. Pre-turned a couple of shoes, nails, nippers and pullers. Rocky crappy ground can be tough on shoes. I liked to use a heavy rim shoe on front for better dig for horse and heavy plate with borium on rear. Borium added to shoe really allows better grip to hard stone surfaces. Yes, was a farrier for a few years so little more anal about shoes. Drawing salve like ichthammol ointment is nice to have for everyone! Really sharp heavy duty gripping tweezers for everyone. Great for grabbing nasty stuff out of hide (horse and man!). +Hemostats. I assume sutures and other standard medical is already accounted for in pack. Latigo, flat piece of leather for repairs. Flat leather is also good to cushion bottom of hoof with tape if need be for punctures. Thread brought back nice memories from many years ago when I had horses and now when I book an elk hunt, the horse aspect is a really big deal to me now. I appreciate riding into the back country now more than ever since I no longer have horses. But just can't stop looking at the fit of the shoes😅. Just a normal look at how they are set etc. Brings back both good and bad memories shoeing! Try to lose the kicked memories but sometimes think I still can feel them! [/QUOTE]
