Leg wraps provide essential support and protection to a horse’s legs during exercise. This reduces the risk of injury and promotes faster recovery. Equestrian Stockholm offers a variety of leg wraps made from high-quality materials such as fleece, neoprene, and cotton.

Wraps should be snug but not too tight, covering the horse’s leg from just below the knee or hock down to the pastern or hoof. Leg wraps should be checked regularly during exercise. It’s important to ensure they remain secure and adjusted if necessary.

Different kinds of wraps

There are several types of leg wraps available for horses. This includes polo wraps, also called fleece bandages, stable wraps and travel bandages. Polo wraps are made from a soft, stretchy material and are used to support the tendons and ligaments in the horse’s legs during exercise. They come in a variety of colors and designs. These kinds of wraps is also allowing riders to coordinate with their horse’s outfit.

Stable wraps are a type of wrap used to provide support and protection to the horse’s lower legs while they are standing in their stall. They are typically made from a thicker and more durable material than polo wraps or fleece bandages.  Most wraps are secured with either velcro or bandage pins.

Travel bandages are designed to provide support and protection to a horse’s legs while traveling. They are typically made from stretchy and breathable materials like fleece or neoprene and are easy to wrap around the legs. The purpose of travel bandages is to prevent any damage or injury to the horse’s legs during transportation. Another purpose is to help reduce swelling and inflammation. They can also help keep the horse’s legs warm during long trips in cold weather.

It’s recommended to have a professional show you how to properly wrap your horse’s legs and to always check the wraps for signs of rubbing or discomfort.
