Question about leg wrapping

LCB · 05-27-2004, 05:08 AM

Hello everyone!

I have a question about wrapping a horses legs. Do you start from the bottom and work your way up, or do you start from the top and work your way down. Thanks

I start in the middle, work my way down, then back up, finishing at the top.

I wrap exactly as Spy, imagine that?!?

Me to. If you start in the middle it ends just right, if not it seems come undone!

Hey- I go top to bottom back to top!!

anitclockwise on left legs!

I have had a heck of a time trying the wrap wraps back up after so that they velcro out the right way....hahaha, want to throw them against the wall.

I too start in the middle, the down, then up to a clean finish. Dont pull in the ligament, tighten at the bone...

For wraping those polos (after you take them off to put them up), take and wrap towards the velcro... that is the easiest way I remember!

Many of years wrapping those polos for the racehorses... you get in a routine ...

darn that routine!

I start close to the top, go down, and then come back all the way to the top.
