So very true!Bandaging should come with a health warning...
I know of a horse lost most of his tail due to bandaging!

JESUS!!!! That must have been left on for a considerable amount of time to end up like that.....
My mare has pressure sore scars on 3 of her legs from overtight bandaging with vetwrap. It was the vet that bandaged her.
Vetwrap is dangerous, by its very nature you have to pull it taught to unravel it from the roll, and I have seen many people use the leg they are bandaging as that means of pulling it taught, rather than unravelling a section of it first. Including said vet.
to be fair, these pictures would have had a tail bandage on for weeks and weeks to get to that stage.
No, it only has to be on a few hours.
Fine. How long do you think it takes to cut off the circulation in the tail?Going to have to agree to disagree
This is why boots and tailguards etc are so brilliant - not trying to be snotty (OK, then, I am) but unless you have actually learned to bandage (and I would suggest that a wee course does not equate to learning to bandage. Ideally, about six months working for a European Dressage trainer with an incandescent temper and no clue about the human rights act) then please, for the sake of the horse, use the lovely velcro alternatives now available.
Bandaging done properly is indeed very big and very clever. This, clearly, is neither.
