Bandages for Jumping

[Nocturnal]

Does anyone here jump their horse in bandages?

Currently my horse can't go anywhere or do anything without bandages. No boots, and no bare legs. He's sound, but has a leg infection that flares up whenever he's exposed to anything - field, stable, school surface... everything irritates his legs. So, jumping in bandages - yay or nay?

No reason why not at all! My older event mare used to jump better in polo bandages than she did in jumping boots, i always assumed it was because they are softer and not as restricting.

She jumped up to Intermediate with bandages on.

i have sj'd in bandages quite a bit.

wouldn't go xc without them being stitched though as i would be terrified of them unravelling!

Can't edit my post above, but to add it was only SJ i used bandages for, i always used XC boots for XC on her.

Thanks Would have liked to go xc schooling, but with the ground as hard as it is I'll be staying in the school. I was worried about them unravelling, though, so glad it should be ok

No problem with it at all. If I was going XC i would maybe put boots over the top as at least there is more protection then and they cant come undone
