Horse
Standing Wraps Bandaging Basics |
|
1.
Begin with rolled bandages.
Start from outside with cotton
centered between base of knee
to just above fetlock.
|
 |
2.
Just before end of cotton,
place end of bandage inside
cotton so they overlap smoothly,
locking them together. Bandage
should start several inches
below knee. Wrap down leg to
just above fetlock, overlapping
each layer by half each time
you go around. |
 |
3.
Pull each layer gently. Only
pull when you come around back
of leg toward inside of horse’s
body. Do not wrap below the
fetlock. Bandage should cover
cannon bone area. |
 |
4.
Cotton quilt should extend
above and below bandage. Continue
wrapping back up leg in same
fashion and end just below knee,
with velcro facing rear of horse.
Place a piece of tape over velcro
to help keep it closed. Bandage
should be done as smoothly as
possible and not left on more
than 24 hours. |
