Im sure i would have been alright but i recently ordered my first polo wraps for my pony for a gender reveal which match her color i picked for her haha and im glad ive looked at all these videos as to help remember not to put too much tension on the tendon. Good knowledge to have. I always just used splint boots in the past.
Not saying right or wrong but I grew up with racehorses and rodeo horses and so I have wrapped a lot of horses. Do the math but I could have easily placed 20 sets a day for 10 years = 292,000 legs wrapped. You could probably double that number as I am fifty now. I always went around the bottom twice. The reason is if they over reach or hit theirselves there is just that extra padding there. So two reasons for polos were support and cushion because you don't want your horses when they feel as good as they do to hurt themselves playing and such and it wouldn't take much to have to scratch your horse from a race because he was goofing off while you were bathing him the morning of the race.
Very helpful video. I do wish you had discussed tension more thoroughly though. I have had two horses who had amputated tails from previous owners wrapping tails too tight, so this must be pretty common.
Thank you so much for explaining how to put the Velcro with the Velcro. That's were I always go wrong and you helped me xD Great video! Very useful! ;D
I just rewatched this and it is sooooo helpful I knew how to wrap but I hadn’t done it in a while. I watched this and everything came back to me
You are an AMAZING wrapper! That sounds interesting...
