In this video I:
-Wrap Kensington's legs with polos & liners
-Go into the details of how to wrap and why
-Tell you why I have chosen these wraps
-I also explain why legs are wrapped in a specific direction.
Kensington models Eskadron polos and liners, and you get to meet Master Wrapper, Jose, who demonstrates the hind leg wraps.
Who do you think is the better "Wrapper"? Jose or me? Tell me in the comments!
Read the article on boots and wraps I mention: thehorse.com/110289/the-scien...
PS- Eskadron wraps are my favorite, check them out here:

Hey can you do a video or a series on dressage judge comments, what they really mean and how to correct them, like bracing, honed rhythm, etc?? Also Jose rocked the wrap!

Excellent! Really nice, simple informational video, thankyou Amelia! Your commitment to sharing & therefore optimising the knowledge of your supporters, is really admirable. And very much appreciated. I'm a true fan of your work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🐎🙏

Jose , because he did a slight figure 8 over the back of the fetlock to help support it , very important. Kensington is a good boy ❤

[@laurieannburdock98]

I appreciate the link to the article discussing the pros and cons. I personally like wraps but think they need to be taken off immediately after a ride so the legs can cool down. Great job both of you but Jose by a smidge, for technique but I thought he pulled a bit tight near the fetlock. :)

Jose wins! Thank you for a GREAT educational video!

[@keithstelzer741]

Both of you wrap great. Jose is just quicker:) This video is perfect for me- i'm in the groundwork mc and was going to aske this question. Great minds think alike. I've been researching this because my lusitano gelding, Z, is returning from a hind ddft injury. I have decided on wrapping and have ordered Saratoga wraps which are suppose to be breathable. In the meantime I've been using regular fleece wraps. And yes, even in cold Eastern Oregon after a 25 minute ride the legs are very warm :( Thanks Amelia and Jose ... and Kennsington!

Great presentation! Thanks to you and Jose both. The tag for inside/outside is something I want! A good friend who sometimes keeps and rides my horses rolls the wraps in the opposite way (which she says is more correct). I disagree, but appreciate her. THEREFORE, I always need to debate whether the wrap is rolled HER way, or MY way. I've thought about doing a mark with a sharpy. Actually, I just need to get some Eskadron wraps!

Sorry lady but its Jose. Kensigton was a good model and you ..... thanks for showing us your prep work. :)

[@gayleudall7971]

Jose is the master!

Great video. Jose does an excellent job👍 Sorry Amelia

[@anne-mariecass7085]

Jose does it better by a mile!!

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

He's the best!!

You didn't cover or show boots in your video? I was hoping to learn more about boots and brush boots as my mare doesn't tolerate polos but can interfere in work. I use brush boots and bell boots on the front and low ankle brush boots on the rear as she tolerates the shorter type on her rear legs to protect them. Any advise or plans for videos on proper placement for these?

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Not this time! I find if I do too much in one video people get overwhelmed. It is on the to-do list, it just hasn't been filmed yet.

[@mjchm100]

@@AmeliaNewcombDressage Thank you for the reply! Look forward to a future boot video!

[@Trolltjarnbacken]

Jose :)

[@keithstelzer741]

ps - what boots do you like?

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

I like the eskadron fleece ones!

I don’t wrap. Heat in tendons is not ideal, especially when it gets to 110 degrees in the summer here.

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

That’s why I like using the pads that disperse heat. But yes, important to consider local climate :)

[@maggiepie8810]

I think that if boots and wraps were that terrible, people wouldn't still be using them.
