[RC] Leg protection while traveling, pre- and post-ride - Jonni
Not everyone feels the need to do something with
our horses legs after a ride. Depends on the horse. On most rides, I do little
except maybe run some water on the legs a bit after the ride. I like to see if
there is any swelling or heat that comes up, so I can decide if we have the
start of a problem, or to tell me the horse was not ready for the level of
stress he just did. I have met many who wrap because they feel they
should, but they do not have a really solid reason why they do so. But it makes
them feel better........
BUT, if you wrap, KNOW HOW TO DO SO
CORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad wraps can do so much more damage than no
wraps. I was also taught to never wrap with standing wraps without the quilts.
