Talk about Tuesday: Polo Wraps

Sometimes our polos don't match and Ries makes disappointed faces at me

As you all are aware I have been dubbed #peglegmuskateer, I have been avidly wrapping my knee with a stretchy bandage(so full of technical terms this morning). I've used this to provide support and keep an ice pack still. As I was rolling and wrapping the bandage I thought to myself what a beautiful world "I feel like I am polo wrapping myself!"

So here is my theory-

When I wrap my leg, it feels better.

It is easier to walk on because of the support this provides.

Theoretically- this should pass over to polo wraps. They are somewhat similar in style, not exact but similar.

Here is my only issue with my theory that polo wraps are supportive-

I am wrapping a soft and squishy area of my body that is moveable. Polo wraps are normally on cannon bones that are not soft and squishy (lets hope) and are stable (ie not a hock or knee). Does this reduce the support? Or does this completely null the support that polo wraps would otherwise provide?

Again, just my theory. I do not currently wrap my horses legs with the intention of providing support. I wrap because they are pretty and make my outfit complete because they protect my horse's legs from brushing injuries when he forgets where his legs go.





Just my .02.
