Horse Bandages & Leg Wraps

Horse bandages and leg wraps for training support, wound care, shipping protection, and everyday barn use — all in one place.

Horse Leg Bandages for Wound Care, Training Support, and Safe Shipping

• Cohesive vet wrap: Self-adherent CoFlex and 3M wraps stick only to themselves — no pins, clips, or tape needed for secure wound coverage.
• Fleece polo bandages: Soft polar fleece with elastic construction delivers gentle compression and warmth during flatwork, lunging, or stall rest.
• Shipping boots: Hook-and-loop closures with adjustable elastic provide non-binding protection from knee to coronet during trailering.
• Sold in sets of 4: Fleece wraps are packaged to cover all four legs, so you never have to piece together mismatched protection.
• Multiple color options: Cohesive wraps available in white, yellow, neon green, pink, and dark blue — useful for color-coding treatment or matching barn aesthetics.

How to Choose the Right Horse Bandage

Intended Use

For wound management or post-injury care, cohesive vet wrap (CoFlex or 3M self-adherent) is the go-to — it conforms to irregular shapes and holds without adhesive. For active training support during arena work or turnout, polar fleece polo wraps offer breathable compression. For hauling, shipping boots give broader, padded coverage without circulation risk from tight wrapping.

Material & Construction

Fleece-and-elastic combination bandages — like the Horze Nest and Embrace polo wraps — are soft against skin and stretch enough to apply evenly without cutting off circulation. Cohesive wraps are non-stick to skin and hair, making removal clean and painless. Shipping boots use hook-and-loop closures for fast, tool-free application even in a crowded trailer.

Sizing

Cohesive wraps are standardized at 4 inches wide and work across most horse and pony leg circumferences. Shipping boots come in 14" and 16" lengths — measure from just below the knee to just above the hoof to select the right fit. Polo wraps are typically one-size with stretch to accommodate most light horse breeds.

Common Mistakes When Buying Horse Bandages

Applying polo wraps too tightly or unevenly is a leading cause of bandage bows — always wrap with consistent tension from fetlock upward. Choosing cohesive vet wrap for extended shipping when a proper shipping boot would distribute pressure more safely is another frequent error. Buying a single wrap instead of a set of four leaves legs mismatched and unprotected.

Vet Wrap vs Fleece Polo Wraps vs Shipping Boots — Which Does Your Horse Need?

Cohesive Vet Wrap (CoFlex / 3M)

Self-adherent and non-stick to hair and skin, cohesive wraps are the barn first-aid staple for wounds, sprains, and post-injection sites. They tear by hand, conform tightly to joints, and stay put without clips or tape. Best for: wound care, injury wrapping, and short-term protective bandaging.

Polar Fleece Polo Wraps

Soft polar fleece with elastic allows gentle, even compression across the cannon bone and fetlock. The Horze Nest and Embrace sets come four to a pack, are machine washable, and are designed for daily training use. Best for: flatwork, lunging, stall wrapping, and light support during recovery.

Shipping Boots

The Cashel bandage shipping boot uses a unique elastic and hook-and-loop closure system that is adjustable yet non-binding — protecting the leg without compressing capillaries during long hauls. Available in 14" and 16" lengths. Best for: trailering, hauling to shows, and protecting legs during loading and unloading.
