Polo wraps are a popular product used for protection and light support on your horse’s lower legs during exercise. Here’s how to apply them correctly.
 |
 Wrap twice around the top of the leg and begin angling downward. |
 Sling the wrap under the fetlock, applying slightly more tension for added support. |
 There will be a slight gap at that top of the wrap as you sling the fetlock, that’s ok. |
 When you come back around the leg, angle the wrap upward to create an inverted V on the front of the leg as shown; continue using slightly more tension. |
 Wrap the fetlock twice around, by repeating steps 3 through 5. |
 Begin wrapping upward at a slight angle; as you near the top, decrease the tension slightly. |
 The end result! Notice how the wrap overlaps itself evenly down the leg. Also, while it’s preferable to have the Velcro closure end up on the outside of the leg as shown, it’s not imperative. |

i hope this will work! i use them to keep my mare’s legs clean over night before a horse show. i haven’t gotten them to stay on but I hope this works.
I always tape them after where the velcro is. I always wrap mine this way and they work perfect! love that they put theses out to help people, I learned how to from photos online 🙂
You should only use polo wraps when you ride, NOT overnight. If you want to keep your horse’s legs clean then use standing wraps!
