I like tall quilts with the extra long wide bandages. Don’t like the pre fab boots. Too stiff and they can slip and start to come out of them, could cause panic if they were to get goosed or step on part of them.
I wrap if I am going around the block, literally!
Case in point going to clinic 1 mile away. Wrapped horse, thank god, travelling by myself. Got distracted while starting to unload. Got out of my rythmn so to speak. Opened front door, old miley 2h straight load, went to back un did butt chain, opened back door. Horse starts to come back, hesitates then goes ballistic. It seem his idiot mother FORGOT to un do the tie. HELLO!!!
Well after he was half in and half out pulling with all his 17 hand TB might he jumped back in. Got him undone, he goes shooting out, duh.
Pulled a hind shoe off in the process, dented the door, popped a lens out of the rear light. And put a gash in my old track knits.
So as I say if I didn’t before then, I ALWAYS WRAP WHEN THEY GET IN THE TRAILER.
Hope sharing my idiocy prevents someone else from doing the same.
But you know that sweet horse loaded right up and came out quietly when we got home. I really should be nicer to him and not try to kill him, what a ya think?
