Boots vs. Bandages?

[checkmate1]

I am just wondering, what are the benefits of bandages over boots for ridden work or lunging? Do they provide more support to the legs, tendons? Obviously boots are more practical and easier and quicker to put on. Any thoughts?

not too sure personaly but there is a very useful article in this weeks Horse & Rider magazine on boots,bandages and wraps!

Proper bandages provide far better support than boots - the reality is 90% of people have no clue how to wrap a horse properly. When I was an assistant barn foreman at Michael's barn, I wrapped hundreds of legs on horses worth enormous amounts. It really is not hard, just most people do not have enough practice, or have been properly taught.
