General rugging and bandaging

There are so many different types of rugs and bandages, which can make it hard to know which ones to use! Every different type of rug and bandage has its own purpose. Whether that is to keep the horse dry (a waterproof rug) or to protect the horses legs when it is travelling (travel bandages). But we must know how to apply, fit and use these items correctly because if we do not, they can cause more harm than good!
