I've been very lucky over the years and rarely had to use stable bandages! But when I have I have always struggled to find decent pads to go underneath, and having had the youngster in for box rest recently, and with my older boy entering his teens and his windgalls causing puffy ankles in the morning, its something I have started to need more in recent months!
I have the normal shaped gamgee pads, but either our horses have very wierd legs or they don't really fit that well, plus using them overnight leaves the horse with little 'pouches' of shavings at his hocks!! And the shavings stick to them like mad, and when you wash them they get more and more bobbly! I also have some Prem Equine quilted ones but they sem to be twice the size you actually need - they'll go round the big lad's legs almost three times and the arab's legs more than 4!!
So I'm after recommendations for pads. Would like some that are:
Flexible enough to wrap nice and close to leg without any wrinkles
Washable easily in normal machine
Pref available in different sizes as little arab's legs are very slender and ISH x WB's aren't!!
Not shavings magnets!!
Any recommendations?
