stable 24/7- bandages?

[delberts_racquel]

Hi

just wondering if people would recommend stable bandages or if there is a cheap boot availble that I could get for my lad? He's currently in cuz of snow and even though I let him out for a bit when I'm mucking out I'm worried about him swelling overnight and through the day. Aslo, how long would you leave them on for?

Sorry really biffy question but having a stress!!

I personally wouldn't leave bandages on for 24 hours and continually unless for medical reasons.

Leg wraps are a good alternative or just bandage at night.

Def shouldnt bandage 24/7. I agree with previous post maybe only bandage at night. there are lots of stable boots on the market now. I have used equlibrium stable chaps and poly pads bandage rappas. Both are good but rappas come up small so not good if horse has chunky legs. Links below-

Thermatex leg wraps are really good too.
