Again, inquiring minds want to know the science
behing a clay poultice....how can it remove heat? Especially if all
trussed up with plastic or paper......?
Sure not a criticism, just wanting to
know.....the mare I used to own who completed her first Tevis this y ear, was
expertly wrapped after ride thanks to Lucy, with clay, paper and then some sort
of support wrap.....her legs next day when we removed poultice looked
great, not a bit of stocking up....
My ride home is much longer so I use a different
method. I like to ice after the ride and then wrap with cotton padding
covered with 3 or 4" fleece wrapping. When it's time to head home,
usually the next day for me, I take off the leg wraps and use my shipping
boots. I like using the plastic wrap over the clay because its easier to
apply and holds the clay in place.
