Apply a Robert Jones bandage

-

If you have another person to help, are confident in your wrapping abilities and your horse is standing calmly, you can apply a Robert Jones bandage, which uses thick padding, hard splinting materials and several layers of wraps to stabilize the leg. This is not something you can learn on the spot, however. Practice the technique beforehand so you’ll be prepared in an emergency.

 ?? ?? Do not walk the horse or allow him to take a single step on his own.
