Equi-Sential Quilted Bandage Pads for Horses
Description
Equi-Sential Bandage Pads - Quilted Cushioning Under Every Wrap
Equi-Sential Bandage Pads are soft, quilted pads worn underneath standard wraps or stable bandages to give the horse's legs additional protection and help prevent pressure sores. They suit any rider who bandages for the stable or for travelling and wants even, comfortable support without excess bulk.
Made from breathable, strong quilted fabric with plenty of wadding, the quilting adds flexibility and helps the pads remain in place as the horse moves. They are best for everyday yard use - overnight standing bandages, legs that need extra cushioning after work, and journeys in the lorry or trailer.

How to Use
- Brush the leg clean and dry before applying the pad.
- Wrap the pad smoothly around the leg, edges flat and free of wrinkles, with the opening facing to the outside rear of the leg.
- Hold the pad in place and begin bandaging from just below the knee or hock.
- Bandage down and back up in even, overlapping turns with moderate, consistent tension.
- Fasten the bandage on the outside of the leg, never over the tendon.
- Check the legs regularly and remove immediately if you find heat, rubbing or swelling.
FAQ
What are bandage pads used for?
They sit underneath standard wraps or bandages to cushion the leg, add protection and help prevent pressure sores caused by uneven bandage tension.
Can I use these for travelling?
Yes. The breathable quilted fabric and wadding make them suitable for everyday use in the stable or whilst travelling, used with travel or stable bandages.
Do the bandages come with the pads?
No, these are bandage pads only. You will need standard stable or exercise bandages to wrap over the top.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure from just below the knee or hock down to the fetlock. The pad should cover that area and meet or slightly overlap at the back of the leg without doubling over heavily. Ponies and cobs usually need a shorter pad than full-size horses.
Will they slip down the leg?
The quilting helps the pads remain in place, and a correctly applied bandage with even tension over the top will hold them securely.
How should I care for them?
Keep them clean and allow them to dry fully before reuse so the wadding stays soft and evenly distributed.
