Horse bandages for protection the horses legs
At Epplejeck, you'll discover a variety of horse bandages in cheerful colors from renowned brands like Eskadron, Horsegear, Kentucky, and BR. Our assortment includes fleece bandages, stable bandages, training bandages, and underbandages. Similar to other leg protectors, bandages serve the purpose of safeguarding and potentially supporting the horse's legs. Often, bandages are used for show purposes. However, it's important to note that bandages used during riding may not provide optimal protection for the horse's legs.
Types of bandages for horse riding
Both fleece and work bandages are used for riding. With elastic bandages like work bandages, it's advisable to use underbandages or liners for added support and protection. Fleece bandages, on the other hand, may not require underbandages. Stable bandages are designed, as the name suggests, for use in the stable. Made of cotton, these bandages are used to prevent stable legs and swelling.
Special cooling bandages for your horse
In our assortment, you'll find a special cooling bandage designed for use in cases of sprains, bumps, and overheating. However, please note that the cooling bandage should not be used on open or bleeding wounds. This bandage provides hours of cooling and is easy to apply.
Proper application of horse bandages
Proper bandaging is crucial to avoid causing harm to the horse. Incorrect bandaging can lead to damage, including folds that may harm the tendons. It's essential to ensure the bandage is not too tight, as this could cause constriction and have detrimental effects on the horse. On the other hand, if the bandage is too loose, it might come undone during riding, leading to hazardous situations. For those new to bandaging, it's best to practice under the guidance of someone experienced.
Monitoring temperature and overheating
Like with other leg protectors, it's essential to monitor the temperature of the horse's leg to prevent overheating. Bandages may trap heat, making the risk of overheating higher. Overheating can lead to damage to tendons and muscles, so it's crucial to keep a close eye on your horse's legs during bandaging.
