FAQs
How many bandages are in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 tail bandages.
What are the dimensions of each bandage?
Each bandage measures 2 meters in length and 7.5 centimeters in width.
Can these bandages be used for medical support?
These bandages are designed for protection and tidiness, not for specific medical therapeutic support that requires controlled compression.
Are they suitable for all horse tails?
Yes, their length and elastic nature make them suitable for most average horse tails. For very long or thick tails, you may need to use multiple bandages.
How often should I wash the bandages?
Wash them as needed when they become dirty or lose their freshness. Machine washable allows for frequent cleaning.
What material are the bandages made from?
They are made from excellent quality cotton elastic.
Can I use these for turnout?
They are suitable for stabled use and travel. For turnout in muddy or very active conditions, consider their durability and potential for snagging.
Troubleshooting
Bandage slips down the tail.
Ensure the initial wrap is secure and the tie closure is firmly knotted. Apply the bandage with consistent, even tension, starting close to the tail dock.
Bandage seems too tight.
Unwrap and reapply with less tension. The bandage should be snug enough to stay in place but allow for comfortable movement and circulation. Do not restrict blood flow.
Tail appears unevenly wrapped.
Pay attention to applying the bandage smoothly and evenly, without wrinkles or bunches, as you wrap from the dock downwards.
Elastic loses stretch over time.
Follow care instructions carefully. Avoid over-washing or using harsh detergents, and air dry when possible to prolong the elasticity.
