[RC] wrapping (or the damage is done) - Sheila_Larsen
How's that for an opener just thought I raise some eyebrows. I wrap my
horse's legs after a ride. I come from the track, dressage and 3 day
eventing. The reason I wrap (I use poultice, handi-wipes, wax paper, no
bow cottons, and stable bandages) is that I DON"T want to see the damage
done, I WANT to see tight legs in the morning. I know how to wrap well and
leave them on until the next morning. I talked to several vets about the
idea of wanting to see the damage done because to me it made no sense at
all but I was willing to explore the concept. They all said that you don't
want to see the damage, which is not to say they all recommended wrapping
because a bad wrap job is not good, but they thought it was a good idea if
the wrap was done well. If walking prevents filling that works too. I
also walk with the wraps.
As for all stuff being illegal, after a ride and final vet check I am not
going to worry about menthol in my poultice. I will say also that I used
to use the green jelly but found that it got very warm after several hours
and that didn't seem to be what I wanted so I switched to poultice, but
what ever works to keep that filling away.
O, for a morning in May... filled with the beauty of horses, soft with
light of heaven. – Author unknown (at least by me)
