    The Case & What’s Inside

    Minutes count! All FireHorse’s equipment is designed to give users quick access to life and property saving tools.

    black plastic case

    The Case

    We’ve designed this ultra durable and easy to carry case so that it can be prominently displayed in the barn aisle, making for direct access for anyone in the event of an emergency.
    • 100% MADE IN THE USA
    • Lightweight, durable, & weather resistant
    • 2 layers of custom cut foam to protect and secure all items

    cans of fire spray

    Handheld Extinguishers

    Each kit includes two (2) easy to use, point & spray extinguishers for small fires, especially hay, shavings, or feed room flames. These sprays are certified and water based, so are not intended for electrical fires. An excellent alternative to more cumbersome, full-size extinguishers, these also require less maintenance and will be readily available in the case.

    firehorse blindfold on a horse

    FireHorse Equine Blindfolds

    Specially designed for our Rescue Kits and found nowhere else, these horse blindfolds wear like a fly mask and restrict the horse’s vision up to 80%. During fire panic, horses have been known to refuse to leave their stalls or to return to a burning structure seeking safety. These blindfolds are intended to reduce injury and panic by removing visual stimulation. They are also useful for trailering, for horses sensitive to needles, and to reduce panic or injury when waking up from anesthesia. Velcro closure, 5 per case.

    red and black fire safety gloves

    Fire Gloves

    During fires, the heat can melt or make unusable metal latches, door knobs, locks, and other necessary access points. Heat resistant to 1472 degrees and flame retardant, these gloves are made of a mix of breathable cotton knitting and double layered fiber with silicone for grip and additional fire resistance. One pair per kit.

    2000 lumens flash light

    2000 Lumens Flashlight

    A powerful LED flashlight is necessary in the event of an emergency. Whether piercing smoke or darkness, this handheld light is easy to operate and lightweight. Constructed of high quality aluminum alloy ad reinforced for exceptional water resistance in inclement weather, this light will shine bring in all conditions. Powered by 4 AA batteries. One per kit.

    fire blanket in red pouch

    Fire Blanket

    Industry standard safety tool rarely found in barns! These blankets provide easy and safe fire suppression when water or water-based extinguishers aren’t an option. The fire retardant fabric chokes off the burn’s oxygen to smother flames. High quality woven fiberglass cloth is exceptionally durable and effective. One per kit.

    thermometer and cover

    Hay Thermometer

    Stored bales have been known to catch fire spontaneously, especially in exceptionally humid conditions. The reasons are a combination of chemicals and exothermic reactions that use hay and oxygen as fuel. A hay thermometer is a great tool to monitor at risk bales. This thermometer is constructed of stainless steel, measures between 0-220 degrees, and provides a simple, effective way to check if bales are heating up. Any bales measuring over 175 degrees are at risk, with anything over 200 reason to call the fire department. One per kit.

    handheld glass breaker

    Handheld Glass Breaker

    Originally designed for use in cars, this handheld glass breaker features a built-in, high-pressure spring that is operated by a single finger pressing the button to shatter window glass quickly and easily. It also has a U-shaped, stainless steel knife edge, which is safe to touch but will easily cut through fabric. One per kit.

    black rope with clips

    Rescue Rope

    This 32 ft, 1/3 inch rope is composed of nylon rope skin and an inner core designed for durability and lower static elongation, meaning it won’t stretch or fray. Stainless steel thimbles are reinforced at each end with esay to use and secure snaps. This rope is perfect for creating a tie line to secure horses in the event of an evacuation, in addition to a multitude of other uses such as helping a horse that is cast in its stall or as a guideline for trailer loading. One per kit.

    anti-fire smoke mask pouch

    Smoke Masks

    This smoke-proof mask is wetted in a special solution that protects from breathing in harmful gases. Designed for use in evacuating, the mask neutralizes harmful breathable chemicals and smoke via chemical bonding, eliminating hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide, sulfur dioxide, sulfuric acid gas, formaldehyde, and ammonia. Place around lower head to cover the nose and mouth (or those of a child or animal) and form a seal between the wet filter fabric and skin. A highly elastic band prevents a gap from forming while breathing. Also useful for holding hot objects or heated door handles. One per kit.

    Directions & Terms of Use

    FireHorse Rescue Kit and FireHorse Equine BlindFold

     

    • Cases should be stored in highly visible, easily accessed locations, such as on the wall of a breezeway, barn entrance, etc., and ideally not in direct sunlight
    • When you receive your kit, ensure that all the items are present and functional before deploying in the barn. The flashlight will require batteries upon arrival, as storage can deplete the battery life
    • Each kit contains 5 blindfolds. We sell blindfolds separately, so that a barn may supplement the 5 in the kit to match the number of stalls/horses. Ensuring you have enough blindfolds for all the equines will maximize evacuation safety and efficiency.
    • We recommend familiarizing yourself with all the contents of each kit, including testing out and acclimating your horse to the blindfolds. Ensure the horse is secured (tied) or otherwise unable to injure itself before testing, and remember that reduced vision could lead to a horse accidentally swinging its head/stepping on or otherwise impeding on your space. The blind folds should only be used in an emergency situation or in the presence of experienced equestrians, veterinarians, grooms, or other professionals who understand horse psychology and how a horse will react to reduced visual acuity.
    • All items in the kit should be in perfect working order upon arrival. If there is any issue, we will replace the defective item. Contact support@premierequestrian.com to set this up. Check all items at least once every six months to ensure they are still in good working order.
    • Kits are designed to increase preparedness and save lives in the event of an emergency. However, all barns should follow fire department and building codes to reduce fire risk, including having a functioning fire extinguisher and in the event of an emergency all barns are recommended to call 911 immediately. Our tools are designed for quick response to fill the gap between the first sparks of a fire and the fire department arriving to extinguish and evaluate the structure or property for additional risks.
    • By purchasing a Kit, you agree to all the terms and conditions, as well as best practices in terms of kit use.

    Simplifying Barn Fire Safety

    hay bale fire

    Barn fires are an equestrian’s worst nightmare. Barns have high fire risk with dust, shavings, hay, running fans, and open breezeways. Be prepared to prevent or deal with fire risk!

    The FireHorse Rescue Kit was created by equestrians and career firefighters who are aiming to reduce fire related loss in one of our favorite places to be: the barn.

    Barns have some of the highest risks for fires: wood structures, high levels of dust, 100s or 1000s of pounds of shavings, hay, feed, and other flammable materials like leather, saddle pads, blankets, etc., sometimes year-round, outdoor use of fans and other electrical items, and open, highly ventilated breezeways. This means there are tons of fuel and ample oxygen just waiting for a spark.

    As professional equestrians for more than 30 years, we realized that should a fire start or threaten our barn, we wouldn’t even know where to find a fire extinguisher. Obviously calling 911 is required, but in the minutes or longer until first responders arrive, we wanted an easy-to-use, easy-to-find set of tools that would allow anyone to prevent a fire, put out a fire in its early stages, and remove horses, people, or other animals as safely as possible.

    And so FireHorse Rescue Kits were born, and we hope the specially selected and unique items ensure that your horses and barn have next level safety and you have peace of mind about your horses and property.
