Karen,
I don't know if it really helps or not, but my horses really seem to enjoy
the rubbing and massaging that I do to their legs before the wraps go on,
and they also seem to enjoy the wraps themselves. I know, being a novice to
the sport, that MY legs get extremely tired, and nothing beats a good
rubdown and a wrap if my joints are tired, esp. my ankles. I haven't ever
had a problem either way, and since it doesn't seem to HURT the horses, I
guess the "make the owner feel good" factor comes in too....
NOt scientific enough for a vet student, but oh well, its summer!
Gwen
