eterinary Gamgee has been a staple of horse owners’ first aid kits for many years having been originally invented and patented by Robinsons in 1880. Veterinary Gamgee consists of a thick layer of superior quality, highly absorbent cotton wool enclosed in a choice of either traditional gauze or a non-woven cover. Veterinary Gamgee can be used in a number of first aid situations including bandaging, protecting a wound, padding over a hoof poultice, swabbing, and compression. www.robinson healthcare.com

A
s the temperature rises your horse will build up quite a sweat after exercise, whether they are working hard in training or after a long hack on a summer’s day. If sweat is allowed to dry on the coat it will attract flies, causing irritation and potentially a risk of infection. Activ Scrub from Robinson Animal Healthcare is an antibacterial scrub and cleansing wash that is ideal for using to remove sweat after exercise. Supplied in a conveniently sized 500ml pump bottle for ease of use, especially when away at competitions. www.robinson RRP: £10 healthcare.com
