[RC] Standing wraps - Pvan19

 
perfectly agree with this - I never ever wrap my horses legs - the very most I will do is put on some leg protectors in front for shipping to the ride if the horse is not too hot on getting in the trailer - just to protect against knocks while jumping in and backing out
 
I just wash off the horses legs, may slap on some arnica gel if I have it handy ( generally because using it on myself) and than have a cold beer - that makes me feel soooo good!

ps last year while having my cold after-ride beer I watched a rider crouching around her horse for over an hour, to meticulously spread an even layer of clay on all four legs hoof to knee, than wrap them up in clingfilm, than guilted wraps, standing wraps on top finished off with tendon boots...  Horse looked like it was wearing Ugs and walked that way too...

Kerry Ridgway used to say that wrapping a horse's legs made the rider feel
good.
