Bandage pads for horses

Bandage pads, also called underwraps, play a crucial role in leg wrapping for horses. They add extra padding and protection to the horse’s legs. This aids in avoiding injuries and providing maximum comfort during transport or exercise.

Extra padding under leg wraps is often needed for horses with sensitive skin, as well as for those undergoing rehabilitation after an injury. Pads can also be useful for horses with conformational issues, such as those with thin or bony legs, as they provide additional support and cushioning. Some also like to use pads for pure aestethic reasons.

Made of soft material for extra comfort

When choosing bandage pads, it’s important to consider the material and thickness. Fleece and cotton are popular choices, primarily for their softness. Foam or gel pads can provide more structured support. The thickness of the pad should be appropriate for the level of protection needed. Thicker pads are being suitable for challenging activities or injury-prone horses.

Bandage pads are a simple but effective way to improve the comfort. They also add safety of a horse’s legs during exercise or transport. By providing extra padding and support, they can help prevent injuries and promote optimal performance.
