There are several ways to protect your horse's leg. Bandages are a good alternative to gaiters. Bandages are wrapped around part of the leg. They are used on the front and rear legs. Bandages have several advantages: They protect the horse's legs from stripes, support the tendons and also warm them when it is cold in winter. Bandages are not suitable for show jumping! They quickly soak up moisture and do not offer enough impact protection. Therefore use bandages only in dressage.
Bandaging a horse's legs properly is not that difficult. There are just a few important points to keep in mind:
Then just tie a knot in the tail! Because this way the tail does not hang in the way when bandaging the hind legs. After that you should of course untie the knot, otherwise you might get some winking looks.
Of course, you can also use bandages for warm-blooded animals and shorten these three to four meter long bandages a little. This works particularly well with fleece bandages. However, bandages for ponies are usually cut a little narrower. Try out what works best for your pony. However, we always recommend the bandages that are directly suitable for ponies, because these are only about 2 to 2,5 m long.
