Stable bandages or raps?

[elliegirl12]

Okay, anyone use them? first question yeah i am going to sound thick but hey ho

haha, do they help the horses from stiffening up in the stable? also would you reccomend using them? i am thinking of getting them just so ellie dont get poo on her hocks on the odd morning, the girls are kept in most of the time ( turned out 3 days a week) but worked 6 days a week and day off when they are not in, but any one reccomend them? or just leave them without as a better option? was just thinking about getting them? i am getting a bit of a freak of i will look after my horses legs

If ti's just for a cleanliness thing don't bother, it's just another thing to come unwound/undone and for them to injure themselves on. I use stable bandages on my girl as otherwise her legs fill really badly, but if I didn't have to I wouldn't!

I use wraps overnight to stop filling in his legs. They have worked well but now finding the velcro has become a bit tired and the bottom piece can come undone. Will probably go for bandages next winter when he's back in again overnight.

Think wraps/bandages can also help with warmth but don't think I'd bother just for cleanliness although I do have a grey.

I don't think wraps or bandages can be applied high enough to cover hocks can they?

They won't cover hocks tho. I use wraps to keep legs warm but would bandage if legs filled
