Immobile horses or any horse that frequently travels for a long period of time needs to be using therapy wraps. Therapy wraps apply pressure to horses’ legs which can help prevent stocking up. Constant pressure to the legs helps even out their blood pressure to keep fluid from collecting in the lower limbs.
Therapy wraps are also an essential first aid item. Pressure to any wound can help stop bleeding, but using an equine therapy wrap protects wounds from contamination. Just like humans, wrapping a leg wound can also help significantly reduce swelling – one of the most important parts of the healing process.
A horse’s blood flow in its legs relies upon its ability to move. Horses were meant to walk around all day, so a horse that’s just standing still for long periods of time can stock up. When a horse experiences stocking up, the swelling can be painful and even cause skin infections because their skin becomes fragile. Lami-Cell Come Best Quilted Wraps are a great and affordable way to provide your horse’s legs with support.
