My daughters pony has had PRP therapy on her check lig, and is on box rest for two weeks, before the long slow process of in hand walking and limited turnout. Vet wants stable bandages with padding which is fine, except my fibregee is looking a bit sad and old. I looked on Amazon and now am completely unsure whether to go for the modern padded wraps or just get some more fibregee. Just wondered what others have used or what people would recommend as its a minefield of different pads/wraps etc. I have looked at the Premiere Equine No Bow bandage wraps but am worried they might actually be too thick. I am happy bandaging - not really looking to buy the stable boots/wrap combos as I am not convinced they will give the right support, plus with huge vets bills looming, I am after something to use with what I already have. Not really thinking gamgee - that's too expensive long term, I'd like something I can wash and dry so I can rotate with the shabby fibregee!! Pony is a BR pony so has legs like matchsticks (apart from the one that's just had PRP.....). Any suggestions or tips very gratefully received! :)

The Premier Equine no bow bandage wraps squish down when you put them on - and they're lovely and protective! I've also got the standard breathable PE ones which are excellent

Fybagee for me everytime for something like that. Pads and gamgee can go lumpy if on for a while IMHO and cause pressure points whereas I've never had it happen with Fybagee.
