I keep some Swat on hand and Transmission fluid for small cuts. You'll be surprised how quick a cut will scab up with transmission fluid. Also reduces scarring.
On the trail i keep a hoof pick, vet wrap and duct tape in the saddle bag. Good horsemanship and lots of time put in at home will put the confidence in the horse before you hit trail. Miles in the saddle will develop that relationship with your horse and keep you from needing those emergency items on the trail.
Horse trailers are mostly preference. I use a 3 horse bumper pull with dividers, mostly because it's what i could afford at the time. My preference would be an 18'-20' gooseneck stock trailer with tack room. The bumper pull is nice to have the room in the box for hay when going out for a week. Having the gooseneck with the weight over the rear axle is nice when driving out on icy roads in the mountains.
