Wrapping polo wraps on a horse involves beginning the wrap on the outside of the leg, moving around the front of the leg and continuing to overlap the wraps down the fetlock. Properly wrap a horse's leg in polo wraps with help from the owner of an English tack store in this video on horse supplies.
Hi, I'm Tori Johnson with The Leading Rein and I'm going to show you how to wrap Polo wraps. When you first get your Polo wraps, it'll be wrapped with a Velcro on the outside; before you can put them on your horse, you're going to have to re-wrap them. So the easiest thing to do is to keep them rolled like that. Fold this part down into the Velcro and then you just re-roll them and you can do it pretty quickly; it doesn't matter how it's re-rolled back up. You just need the Velcro to be on the very inside because that is what's you're going to use to connect it to the horse. So we already have this one re-wrap and when you start with the Polo wrap, you always want to start on the outside of the leg at the very front. And a good tool to remember is you always want to wrap back toward the tail. So you want to start with the little triangle on the front and you don't ever want to pull across the back. So you only ever want to pull across the front when you're wrapping it around. And you want to try to make very even loops all the way down; again, pulling across the front and then you're going to want to come down to the felt lock joint and protect that. So you wrap it around like that and then you come back up around like that and you just keep rolling. Now when you get to the top you're going to fold your triangle back down and there you have a wrap. And you always want to make sure your Velcro is pointing again, back that direction; not this direction. And that's how you wrap a polo wrap.
