A Deserving Bad Rap For Bad Wraps


http://www.horseclicks.com/horses/0kkzp6/

It's debatable whether polo wraps add any significant support, but it's a proven fact that applying polo wraps improperly can cause serious damage to a horse's legs. If you don't know how, don't do it! And certainly don't take pictures of it and post it on your sales ad.

Wrap do's and don'ts:
1) Do it right or don't do it at all.
2) Don't use them in conformation photos (along with any tack other than a bridle). It looks suspicious and buyers need to see the legs good or bad.
3) Do ride in them to show off your horse's flashy movement for your sales ad.
4) Don't ride in them if you horse's movement is poor or uneven for your sales ad. It will draw attention to it in a picture or video.

Here's a video made by a couple of teenagers about how to put on polo wraps. Good job girls. This looks like it may have been a school project, so I hope you both got an A.
