Foaling Kit

[Lil' Horse Lover]

I'm getting ready for my mare to foal and need to put together a foaling kit, I was wanting to get ideas of what to put in it. So what all goes into your foaling kit? I need to make a list so I can start shopping and I want to be as prepared as I possibly can. Anybody have a list of their foaling kit to share?

Here's a few items-- lots of rags and clean towels, thermometer, molasses, colostrum drench, blue suction thing to clear out membranes, syringes. Again just a few items- not an exhaustive list.

Check the Best of the Forum - I am sure this was discussed on there, maybe more than one thread. And/Or do a forum search.
