Stable Wraps or Standing Bandages
There are many reasons why you might want to wrap your horse’s legs. In the stall,
standing wraps or stable wraps help prevent ‘stocking up’. Stocking up is when fluids
settle in the legs because the horse is standing on a hard surface and not moving
around to keep the fluid flushed out of the tissues. You many have to secure a wound
dressing or poultice if your horse is injured. You may wish to avoid possible stall
injuries if your horse is particularly fractious when kept in. If you’re headed for a show,
stall wraps can help keep your horse’s legs clean, and if there is a wound, bandages
can help keep that clean and protected. Horses can be turned out in wraps. This is to
protect the horse from pasture injuries and protect existing injuries.
Shipping Wraps
When traveling, wraps or bandages help support and protect your horse’s legs. As
horses balance themselves in a truck or trailer, they can easily step on their own or
each other’s feet or scrape up against the side or partition of the box. Wraps also help
keep the legs clean if you’re traveling to a show. Shipping boots may be easier to put
on and take off, but most horse owners agree that bandages actually provide more
support than a boot.
Polo Wraps or Exercise Bandages
Bandages or wraps used while riding protect a horse from scraping itself on obstacles
such as jumps or gymkhana props and provides support when doing high-performance
activities such as jumping, barrel racing or other sports that put a lot of strain on a
horse’s legs. Polo wraps or exercise banadages may also be used to protect and support
the legs while longeing, as the small circle the horse is traveling in can put a lot of stress
on the legs.Polos are used for decoration too. My daughter’s drill team made red wraps
for their pony's and horse’s legs so help the team look coordinated. You might also see
wraps on parade horses. Since polos come in lots of fun colors (and are easy to make)
there are lots of decorative choices.
Choosing Wrap or Bandage Type and Length
The wraps used for shipping (trailering), stable and turn out are longer than polo
wraps. Standing or shipping wraps are also applied over ‘cottons’ or thick quilted pads.
Polo wraps are used alone. The exact length you must buy will depend on the size of
your horse. The lengths of the wraps are usually are designated in pony, horse or large
horse sizes, exact measurement by the inch or centimeter or small, medium, long and
extra long. Stable bandages are usually about six inches wide. Polos will be narrower
and are shorter in length than stable or standing wraps. This is because polos are not
applied over padding. Most horses will require medium or horse sized wraps. A pony or
small horse with fine bones may need pony sized wraps and if you have a very large
boned or draft typehorse, you’ll need to get the longest wraps. The good thing about
long wraps is that most are easy to shorten with a pair of scissors if they happen to
be to long.Older wraps may have shoelace like ties that were tied in a bow. Newer
wraps have hook and loop fastener strips. When choosing a set of leg wraps, if you have
the choice, get wraps with wider fasteners. Narrow lace ties and fasteners will not
distribute the pressure as evenly as wide fasteners. This is important because tight
wraps and pressure points can be very damaging to a horse’s legs.
Stable Wraps and Cottons
Stable or standing wraps should be applied over padding or ‘cottons’. Cottons are thick
rectangles of quilted fabric. They help distribute the pressure of the wrap. For wound
dressing, a material like Animal Lintex or gamgee that you keep in your first aid kit
might be used under or instead of the cotton padding. Again, cottons come in different
sizes, and you’ll need to match the cotton to your horse’s size.Most cottons and wraps
are made with synthetic materials or are a cotton blend. To clean them, you can simply
throw them in the washing machine. An extra rinse ensures there is no detergent
residue to irritate a horse’s legs. Hang them to dry and re-roll for the next use. Put
them in the dryer only if you like detangling big knots!
