Tubigrips for horses

[jeanette0403]

Hi was wondering if anyone can help.... My horse has been on box rest all winter and is now allowed out during the day. She wears boots as she has had tendon problems. When she comes in at night her legs have been filling lots so i have been using stable bandages but now as the weather is getting warmer i am not sure what to use.. Someone suggested using human tubigrip as it is lightweight and wont make the horses legs hot like bandages.

Has anyone heard of this before or used it?

Thanks very much

i use them for keeping fluffy feathers white before a show and stopping feathers for getting singed when the farrier comes with no ill effect if that helps. I use knee size in my heavy wight cob

Thanks for your message and really interesting to know (especially for the farrier!!) I might get some and see how it goes. Will give anything a try!
