Usage:
when bandaging a horse’s leg, please follow these basic guidelines from the American Association of Equine Practitioners:
- Start with clean, dry legs and bandages. If there is a wound, make sure it has been cleaned, rinsed, and dressed according to your veterinarian’s recommendations.
- Use a thickness of an inch or more of soft, clean padding to protect the leg beneath the bandage. Apply padding so it lies flat and wrinkle-free against the skin.
- Start the wrap on the inside of the cannon bone above the fetlock joint. Do not begin or end over a joint, as movement will tend to loosen the bandage and cause it to unwrap.
- Wrap the leg from front to back, outside to inside (counterclockwise on left legs, clockwise on right legs).
- Wrap in a spiral pattern, working down the leg and up again, overlapping the preceding layer by 50 percent.
- Use smooth, uniform pressure on the support bandage to compress the padding. Make sure no lumps or ridges form beneath the bandage.
- Do not to wrap the legs too tightly, creating pressure points.
- Avoid applying bandages too loosely. If loose bandages slip, they will not provide proper support and may endanger the horse.
- Leg padding and bandages should extend below the coronet band of the hoof to protect that area (this is especially important when trailering).
