Which would you use?

I'm taking my 18 year old pony on a journey of about 5 hours, and I know I'll get mixed views, but I was wondering whether to bandage her legs, as she'll be standing still for so long, or just use travel boots, what do you use for long journeys ?

Given the pony's age and the length of journey I would say banadages.

I moved my old horse about 80 miles when he was 21, took about 3 hours and I bandaged his legs and taped them well. I just felt he had a little more support with bandages.

i would use bandages if your horse is prone to filling up, but if not, i would just use travel boots, good luck with the journey

Id say use what she's used to. I tend to bandage for long journeys (5+ hours) when mine normally are booted. I think they're legs stay cooler than in big padded boots but make sure you dont bandage too tightly and tape over them so they cant come undone.

use both extra safety and support!
