Re: [RC] Wrapping and poultice answer - Dessia Miller

I also keep cold casts in my trailer for after a ride if I think the horse might need more than linament and standing wraps. My vet got me onto them after dealing with a bowed tendon. Nice and pink, not as messy (sometimes).

Thanks. Great description.

I normally just use plain No-bows, and standing wraps, and maybe a liniment like Sore-No-More (note: you can't use that at multi-days or before a ride, as it contains arnica). However, I've often wondered about just how to apply a poultice, especially on those hot days in the middle of summer, when I sometimes think that wrapping a leg is kind of counter-productive, due to the heat.
