Polo Wraps were initially developed for the game of polo since these horses are running for extended time and turning at speed. This sounds much like barrel racing and pole bending. The polo wraps we offer are made with thick polar fleece for the best protection and longevity. Polo wraps do not create heat like neoprene based boots do. Heat is detrimental to horses.
The problem with polo wraps is that companies today cannot charge enough to make them profitable so they push expensive, bulky, heavy neoprene or rubber boots instead. Ask yourself, when was the last time you watched a horse race where the horses had on neoprene based boots? It doesn't happen because of the weight and heat. True horse professionals use polo wraps.
"This is my favorite leg protection! I use polo wraps exclusively on all of my horses while competing because they work. I feel there is no equal in overall support and protection. Polo wraps are lighter weight and the more weight on a horses legs the higher they will pick them up, which is not good in a speed event that requires traction."
"Learning to wrap your horse¿s legs is simple and does not take long to learn. Besides, every horseman needs to know how to wrap a horse¿s leg anyway in case of an accident that requires it. When I wrap my horses legs with polo wraps I know they have the best protection available with even tension and a smooth fit"
"Our horse's have four legs so protect all four with polo wraps. After wrapping all four legs, I then wrap polo wrap tape (L605) over the velcro closures assuring me that I will have success."
