Horse Polo Wraps & Bandages Pads
Horse Polo Wraps & Bandage Pads: Tendon Protection & Support for Schooling & Competition
Polo wraps and exercise bandages are a popular choice for providing lower leg support and tendon protection during schooling and competition — but they are also one of the pieces of equestrian equipment where incorrect application can cause more harm than good. Applied too tightly, unevenly, or without adequate padding underneath, bandages can create pressure points that damage tendons and soft tissue. Applied correctly, with quality padding and even, consistent tension, they provide effective support and protection that many riders and trainers consider an important part of their horse's exercise routine.
At Horseworld, we stock a range of horse polo wraps and bandage pads designed for safe, effective lower leg protection during exercise. Quality padding underneath any exercise bandage is essential — it distributes pressure evenly across the leg and prevents the localised pressure points that cause tendon damage. If you are new to bandaging, we strongly recommend seeking guidance from an experienced trainer or equine professional before applying exercise bandages to your horse.
Key features and considerations for polo wraps and bandage pads:
- Tendon protection during exercise — provides a layer of protection against knocks, brushing, and impact to the lower leg during schooling, lunging, and competition
- Support for the lower leg — correctly applied bandages provide support to the tendons and soft tissue of the lower leg during active work
- Always use quality padding underneath — bandage pads or gamgee underneath any exercise bandage are essential for even pressure distribution and tendon safety
- Correct application is critical — even tension and correct technique are essential; incorrectly applied bandages can cause serious tendon damage
- Polo wraps for schooling use — self-adhesive polo wraps are a popular, easy-to-apply option for everyday schooling that provide protection without the technique demands of traditional exercise bandages
