about Les Raps™

Equestrian lovers use polo wraps for a variety of reasons to protect the horse’s legs from damage, to help heal a leg that is swollen or hurt and, frequently, just for show. However, the traditional leg wrap or polo wrap can be confusing.

                            

Learning the proper way to “wrap” a leg is a unique talent that, in the past, was developed over time and with lots of practice. A proper leg wrap can be frustrating: where do you start, how tight, which way to you wrap?

                            

Careful wrapping is critical no matter what the reason and careless wrapping techniques can actually cause more damage to your horse’s tendons.

how to apply Les Raps™

Les Raps™ allow you to wrap the leg from either direction: no matter how it was rolled by the last person who used it. The clearly marked logo will also
help you better understand how to start the process.

       

1.     Spiral down. Start at the middle of your horse's cannon bone (shin), and spiral downward, overlapping each round by 50 percent, until you've covered
his fetlock joint (ankle) and hooked the ergot (bony growth) at the back. Pay attention to every full wrap, smoothing the material as you go. If a wrinkle
appears, eliminate it before you continue.

2.     Spiral up. Now wrap upward to the top of your horse's cannon bone, just below where his leg begins to widen at his carpus (knee) in his forelegs;
hock in his hind legs.

3.     Secure the wrap. Secure the wrap with the velcro strip. Repeat on your horse's other three legs.
