  • umm dont wrap it tooooo tight or pull very much it can hurt the horse. but keep it snug enough that it will stay on.

  • I think she did a good job. If you guys wouldn't be so critical. If you don't put the polo wrap on like this then you shouldn't be using them. You can really hurt your horse's legs if you don't know how to use them.

  • You never want to pull on the tendon because it can cause serious damage to your horses leg. You only want to apple pressure on you horses cannon bone so it will be snug. Also when you are making the "v" around the fetlock you want to go over it once to make sure it is protected.

  • You never want to pull on the tendon, it can cause serious damage to your horses leg. You only want to apply pressure on the cannon bone

  • ummm duct tape at shows?

  • Decent information, terrible camera angle!

  • why do no videos shows putting wraps on the back legs? can any one help please?! :)

  • I already know how to wrap polos on a horse, but if I didnt, this video would be very diffucult for me to learn from. The video needs to be more zoomed in on the leg so people can see clearly. Also a dark polo being wrapped on a horse in the shade creates a problem for being able to see clearly. Otherwise, great video!

  • @Luv2ride808 relax

  • your NEVER suppose to pull the tendon! there shouldnt be more pressure on the tendon than on the front part of its leg!

  • also rub the legs after you remove them to help more circulation to flow to the wrapped area

  • when you remove a polo wrap, remove it quickly incase your horses spooks or moves and hurts itself with the polo wrap half way on
