Hi i have been reading up on strapping and wondered if it is affective?
Would you recommend it?
Wot people use ( a proper pad or something DIY )?
And how often you would do it?
thanks ;D

Great for the horse and the bingo wings, not that I am implying you have them - but I do, probably because I dont strap anymore ;D You can still buy the leather pads on ebay. We used to do 20 mins each side, it makes you sweat and the horses love it. But I am way to lazy nowadays.  |
