How to Apply Liniment Under Standing Wraps (Step by Step)

A quick, safe routine for stocked-up legs or post-work recovery. Sensation-free, show-safe, and barn-tested.

Steps

1. Clean & dry the legs. Brush away debris. If you rinsed earlier, make sure hair and skin are fully dry to avoid friction.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of gel. Use your hand to spread from just below the knee/hock to the fetlock. Contact, not clumps—thin wins.
3. Place quilts/cottons. Align evenly; no folds or wrinkles. Keep the back edge straight to protect tendons.
4. Wrap with even pressure. Front to back, inside to outside. Two fingers should slide under the bandage at the cannon bone.
5. Check & time it. Walk the horse a few steps; recheck tension. Leave wraps on 6–8 hours. Remove and assess skin/legs.
6. Post-wrap care. If skin needs comfort or dryness is an issue, spot-apply Rapid Relief Restorative Cream on clean, dry skin.
