I agree with you, Sheila, wrapping properly makes a BIG difference. I will wrap with a cly poultice after a 100 or maybe a FAST 50. BUT, I know how to wrap a leg evenly ( no  pressure points) with good, even, tension, but not too tight. I'm a believer in, if you're unsure if you can wrap properly, then don't wrap.

I wrap my horses legs after an endurance or very very hard training ride
with a clay poultice.  However, I do know how wrap legs very well, it
drives me crazy to see bad leg wrapping.  I figure my horses work hard for
me and I want to prevent filling.  Some people say "I want to see if they
have filling."  I however want to prevent filling.  I have not had heat
buildup using a clay poultice although once I used a green jelly and the
legs were warm when I unwrapped, no filling though.  At that point I just
decided to use the clay.  Probably a personal choice.
Thanks,
