Equiglow Self-Cohesive Latex Bandage for Horses

The Equiglow Latex Bandage is a self-cohering waterproof latex bandage that sticks to itself rather than to hair, skin or leather, so it wraps securely and peels away without sticky residue. It is best for riders and yard staff who want one roll that can wrap a bit to encourage mouthing, cushion a noseband or headpiece, and add grip and protection to reins, girths, stirrup leathers and head collars.

Because the latex is waterproof and lightweight, it keeps working in wet or muddy conditions - including hunting and racing tracks - without adding weight or bulk to your horse's equipment. Browse more horse care essentials to complete your grooming and yard kit.

How to Use

1. Clean and dry the bit, tack or surface you intend to wrap.
2. Unroll a short length and begin wrapping with light, even tension.
3. Overlap each turn by roughly half the width of the bandage for a smooth finish.
4. Build up further layers until you reach your preferred thickness and cushioning.
5. Press the final tail firmly onto the wrap so the latex seals to itself, then tear or trim to length.
6. Inspect the wrap before and after use and renew it once the material looks worn or stops gripping.

FAQ

Does the Equiglow Latex Bandage leave sticky residue?
No. It is self-cohering, which means it bonds only to itself. It can be unwrapped and removed without leaving residue on bits, leather or your horse's coat.

Can I wrap a bit with it?
Yes. Bit wrapping is one of its main uses and is often chosen to encourage mouthing in sensitive or fussy horses. The smooth, warm texture will not interfere with bit action.

Is it waterproof enough for hunting or racing?
The latex is waterproof, so it is designed to keep performing in wet and muddy conditions, including hunting and racing tracks, without weighing the horse down.

How do I get the right thickness?
Thickness is set by how many layers you apply. Start with two overlapping layers for light cushioning and add more where you want firmer padding, checking that buckles and fittings still sit correctly.

What else can I use it on besides bits?
It suits nosebands, headpieces, girths, reins, stirrup leathers and head collars, wherever you want extra cushioning or grip.

Is it reusable?
The bandage is intended to be wrapped, trimmed and renewed as needed. Replace the wrap once the latex becomes worn, dirty or loses its self-sealing grip.
