Following on from Bandaging....

[Halfstep]

Do you use stable bandages, or leg wraps at night? If so, why? Or why not?

I don't use stable bandages unless the horse has an injury. I do however use leg wraps for extra warmth and to help keep legs dry in winter, and I use magnetic wraps in front.

None of our horses (or ponies) have ever worn anything on their legs, unless they have an injury.

I bandage winston at night in the winter, mainly because he stays in all the time but also for extra warmth.
Bertie wears leg wraps - snoopy cant be trusted, he eats anything thats on him lol

 

[ecrozier]

Only bandage if vet tells us to, J has thermatex leg wraps in winter to dry hm off!

 

[lizzie_liz]

Only bandaged when injured but I did bandage when I was at TB finals as the stables were small and had some gaps in them, so did it to prevent injury.

Au natural - I don't mollycoddle my horses, even tho they are in big open barns, they are tough

 

[Joya]

I don't put anything on Gem, she doesn't need it.

 

[SSM]

No do not bandage even on the coldest night - just a duvet to keep her upper body warm

 

[Paint it Lucky]

Generally no but if my horse has worked particularly hard that day (i.e. competed XC, hunted, endurance ride) I will bandage him and possibly ice tight for extra support.

I bandage Toto's back sock and his other back leg when we're going to a show the next day.
