Fleece stable bqndages

[Lozturner]

Hi guys

I’ve been reading on fleece stable bandages and have came across mixed advice on whether to use paddding underneath them. I have read a few times that it’s not needed under fleece?

They are to help with swelling (not sure if that matters).

I have ‘experienced bandagers’ on the yard so I will be shown properly how to put on.

I also only go to see my horse on an evening so would I need to ask someone to remove the bandages on a morning or not?

Yes! If you are using them as stable bandages they need something under them.

If you are using them for schooling for a short time they can be put o with nothing underneath.

TBH, nowadays, if I need stable bandages I use the stable boots. Even with under-wraps bandages can cause damage overnight. It is OK if you are experienced with them and no one else touches them, but otherwise I would use the boots.

Oh, and yes, certainly would need removing in the morning.

I'd suggest boots too, rather than bandages...

They can be used without pads but if used to reduce swelling I would use pads underneath, and I would get someone to remove them in the morning.
