Back On Track Quick Wraps- How Tight?

Hello! I just bought my horse the quick wraps since he is inside overnight and on the weekends and gets stiff and soar. I was just wondering how tight they should be? Should they be like a SMB in tightness? I just don't wont them to put to lose and they fall of, or putting them on to tight and cutting of the blood supply to his leg. Thanks!

They generate a lot of "recycled" body heat, so start him out at a hour and build up the time gradually.

I use the Quick Wraps and Hock Wraps on two different horses; I won't leave them on all night in case they would get hung up on something.

Four hours in the morning works miracles, if that is possible.

With the Quick Wraps, I velcro the middle strap first and try to judge "one finger tight".

It's almost impossible to get the bottom strap too tight, so I pull it around enough that there is a bit of "wiggle room" when I hold the ankle area of the boot and jiggle it.

I do the top wrap last, making it 1 - 2 two fingers tight.

Again, I only need to leave them on four hours day.

If you're planning on leaving them on for 8 hours in the stall, I honestly would call Back On Track and ask them how much to tighten them up. Their customer service gals are terrific

You want them tight enough so that they can't come off or bunch up, creating pressure points. I would say as tight as an SMB is a good goal.

I had the BOT hock boots for my horse and they said to make sure you gradually get them used to wearing the wraps, in 2-3 hour sessions before doing over night, so make sure you take that into account too!

Thanks! I was really only going to leave them on overnight when I was going to a show the next morning, and was going to be there till 10 pm, and be back at the barn at 5 am.! I do plan on building it up gradually. I am acutally moving barns to where it is in walking distance of my school, so I can put them on in the afternoon when I get off school and take them off when I ride later in the evening! Thanks for your help! :)

Thanks! :) I do plan on slowly building it up, I am at the barn 7 days a week for about 3-4 hours so slowing building up time is not really a problem! :)
