Exercise Bandages!

[ChocoCornflake]

Just out of interest, those who use exercise bandages, can i ask your reasons why!

Can depend on what type of surface I am riding on, at old yard perferred to use bandages as was a predominantely sand surface and found bandages prevented any rubs. Certainly didnt use them just to look smart or professional (I have no chance of that whatsoever!)

I like to use them when i am schooling and then i can wash them when they need it to make sure that they always stay clean and don't rub. I like to use tendon boots for jumping though so they can feel if they knock a pole...

I always do. Although they are a pain to put on and take off again, I feel they offer my lad more tendon support that boots can. I am thinking about getting some Equilibrium ones - Stretch and Flex i think they are called - apparently they are very good. I always seem to be bandaging or rolling them up at the moment as he wears stable ones aswell. I am very paranoid about his legs as he works hard for me!!

the equilibrium stretch & flex thingys aren't bandages...they're boots!

ooops!!!!! I knew that and was just testing. Having a yucky rainy day, please forgive my mistake.

And they're not very good either. I have them and can't see that they really provide any support and no more protection than boots.
