Wrapping

[Kristen L Olko <krisolko@juno.com>]

This may seem like a silly question, but why do people wrap their horse's
legs after a ride? I know why, but what I'm really asking is - shouldn't
you leave
them unwrapped to see if there are any problems ie. swelling, heat etc? 

Are there horses out there who puff up after every ride? After a race,
most every horse has its legs
all wrapped up. Is this why?

General question -- what do you wrap with? I usually saturate the legs
with cool/cold water, slather on
ICETIGHT clay poultice and leave it. What do you do?
