TheHorseStudio.com review: This is a neatly produced informative DVD that provides answers to horse owners questions concerning the correct practices for leg wrapping and bandaging techniques. Using incredibly well mannered and patient horses, Diane takes you through each type of bandage application with clarity in a step by step method in calm and easy to listen to manner. I have been around horses for over forty years and have spent my share of time on bended knee wrapping horses legs, but I learned some new techniques here. A well rounded production that will be invaluable to vet students and horse owners/grooms everywhere. As Diane says, you need to practice to get it right. But importantly knowing 'the right way to do it' will improve the positive benefits of leg wrapping while minimizing damage that can be caused by a lack of knowledge. We look forward to her next DVD in this series! Advice here that every true horseman should know for the sake of his horse! Trainer: Diane Branham
