looking for advice on strapping. how long do you strap them for each day? dp you gradually build it up? how long does it normally take to start seeing results? and how much of a difference to their appearance do you think it makes?

Many many moons ago we had to strap show ponies, it was a total killer on the arms, very boring and the ponies didn't enjoy it, have never strapped since.

I used to start with 5 'slaps' per area building it up so i would do each for the lengh of a song playing on the radio.

I strapped Gus when he was a baby - not for a long time, i think i built up to about 4 going down then 4 going back up each side of the neck, and 4 each side of his quarters. You want to do it quite slowly so the muscle can twitch and then relax again. It was useful to get some tone on a horse not in work
