Standing Wrap Mastery: The Thin‑Layer Gel Method
A standing wrap done right is part cowboy grit, part Cadillac care. Precision beats hurry: cool what’s hot, dry to the bone, and set a whisper‑thin layer of gel before you roll the bandage.
Step 1: Cool Smart
After a hard ride, don’t dunk and dash. Target the warm spots with cool water or CryoSpray® Cooling Body Brace. Focus on tendons and ligaments, not the whole leg. Precision cooling calms without shocking tissues.
Step 2: Dry Thoroughly
Moisture under wraps is a ticket to trouble. Use a scraper and towels until legs are bone‑dry. Humid day? Give airflow and extra minutes. Patience here pays dividends in leg health.
Step 3: Apply the Thin Layer
Reach for Draw It Out® High Potency Gel. Smooth a light, even sheen—never a heavy coat. Think “quiet support,” not “slather.” This gel is sensation‑free, fragrance‑free, and dye‑free, designed for safe under‑wrap use.
Step 4: Wrap with Care
Roll the wrap evenly, snug but never tight. Start below the fetlock, move upward with steady pressure, and finish clean. Check for wrinkles or ridges—your horse deserves comfort that holds steady overnight.
Why the Thin‑Layer Method Works
- Prevents trapped heat and moisture
- Keeps wraps from slipping
