Horse Polo Wraps Bandaging Basics
Polo wraps are designed for use during exercise to provide support and protection for horse tendons and ligaments of the lower limbs. The polo wrapbandage itself is made of fleece-type material with some give and stretch and is fairly thick. The thickness helps distribute the pressure more evenly and the stretch provides give for flexing tendons and ligements. Use by themselves without cottons underneath, only leave on for a short period of time.
1. Roll up before starting your polo wrap. Begin with bulk of roll toward rear of horse, to wrap from outside to inside. Hold 8″-10″ of bandage end up with one hand and begin wrap there. Place bandage several inches below the horse's knee or hock to begin.
Horse Polo Wraps 2. Start wrapping the horse leg, while holding lock flap up at an angle so it wraps smoothly. Wrap down leg to just above fetlock, overlap each layer by half each time you go around. Pull each layer of the polo wrap gently. Only pull when you come around back of leg toward inside of horse’s body. Wrap around fetlock should angle down slightly and pull under and up to provide support to tendons and ligaments.
Horse Polo Wraps 3. Once this one turn is taken, fold lock flap down across top of layers already in place.
Horse Polo Wraps 4. With no wrinkles, wrap back up leg over lock flap. This helps keep bandage from slipping.
Horse Polo Wraps 5. Finish polo leg wrap just below horse's knee with velcro tab pointing toward rear of horse. For heavy use, you may place a short piece of tape over velcro to help keep it closed. Be sure that you are only pulling on backside of each wrap. It is easy to get polo bandages too tight since they are stretchy.
