RE: [RC] Revenge of the Bras! - heidi



Hmmm...well, don't throw them away.  One of the interesting things I learned
in Large Animal Rescue was another use for a bra.  It makes a GREAT bandage
for a horse's eye. The problem is that the horse's eye protrudes and if you
need protection, it's difficult to get a bandage to stay on without pressure
on the eye.  

HOWEVER...if you cut out the cup on the good eye side, fasten the back strap
under his chin, then put the shoulder straps over his ears with a string
between them, you have a natural "pocket" there for the bandage.


Thanks for the tip, Jim.  I've taught equine first aid classes off and
on for years and have incorporated advice about how to use many other
available materials, ranging from various other clothing items to
feminine hygiene products to stuff that is apt to be lying around the
barnyard.  But that's a new one to me, and a very good idea!
