Standing Leg Wraps
Horse and Rider
|April 2018
Precise application of wraps ensures the protection of your horse’s soft tissues for healing an injury or sweating inflammation.
Standing wraps applied with a quilt, as shown here, are ideal when you must doctor a spot on your horse’s leg or want to reduce inflammation during training. The wraps provide support and comfort, as well as keep medication on a wound for best treatment.
Before I explain how to properly apply this wrap, I must state the importance of seeking veterinary advice before using the wraps if you’re not sure what’s going on with your horse’s injury.
For this process, I’m using quilts that are 30 inches long; you can choose width based on your horse’s size (usually 10 to 16 inches wide). The wraps shown are made of a four-way stretch fabric to allow the correct tension in the wrap without being too tight or too loose.
Step 1: Start with the quilt.

Ranch Sorting Drills For a Dull Horse
Some horses are born eager to hunt a cow, while others—no matter how broke—would rather conserve energy and hang back. A horse that's dull to your leg or slow to react can make working a cow frustrating and unproductive. The goal isn't just to get through the run—it's to teach your horse to drive up into a cow with purpose and maintain forward momentum without constant kicking or nagging from you.

Rehabbing a Foundered Horse
Founder can feel like a four-letter word for horse owners, and it's one of the toughest conditions to try to rehab a horse from. Laminitis, the medical name for founder, occurs when blood flow to the laminae is disrupted, weakening the bond inside the hoof. If left untreated, there can be rotation or sinking of the coffin bone. This is typically when it's referred to as founder, and when riders begin to worry that their horse is either permanently unrideable or will be in too much pain to continue living.

Against the Odds
RIGHT BEFORE THIS ISSUE WENT TO PRESS, I had the opportunity to go to the Snaffle Bit Futurity finals and watch some of the top 3-year-old cow horses in the world compete for the prestigious title of Snaffle Bit champion. As I watched John Swales complete his fence work run, I couldn't help but tear up. John wasn't just on any horse—he was riding Bowie Nights, a horse trained by his sister, Veronica Swales. Veronica was involved in a serious accident at the National Stock Horse Show back in August and is currently unable to compete, but she knew that if anyone could step in and show her horses to their full potential, it was her brother.
