" If it needs support from some flimsy fabric on the outside, the horse is desperately lame and needs operation. "

" But, to be honest, most dressage riders don't use polo wraps to protect the leg from the other legs. They usually use them to support the leg that is heavily loaded. Now, what is it that is being protected, here? Well some say it is the tendons at the back of the leg. The wraps are supposed to keep them in place and support their position. The thought might be nice, but it does not work that way. The tendons are kept in place by strong sheaths of ligament and other tissue. This is doing all the work. If it needs support from some flimsy fabric on the outside, the horse is desperately lame and needs operation. Think about it - horses land from 5 feet obstacles, usually on one leading leg. Imagine the impact of the entire warmblood horse plus the rider's weight. The tendons take this, and the sheaths keep them im place. As the horse lands and loads the legs like this several times a week, the tendons and sheaths are reinforced becoming stronger and stronger. If a horse can withstand this, what extra can relatively loosely wrapped fabric do to aid it? The answer is - Nothing.

Jag håller med om allt som står där för övrigt.
Jag använder själv lindor som skydd eller för att det ska vara snyggt.
