ABSTRACT:
A wrap for a horse's lower leg includes a panel configured to wrap once around the leg from near the pastern to above the fetlock and to conform to the shape of the leg. The panel is comprised of an inner layer of shock dissipating material, such as Rubatex, and an outer layer of elastic shock absorbing material, such as neoprene. In a preferred embodiment, the inner layer is attached to the outer layer such that, upon wrapping, bulges created in the inner layer conform to the indentation between the tendon and bone to support them in their natural positions. An elastic support strap passes under the fetlock for additional support and is secured under the fetlock so that it will not move during movement of the leg.
