To keep your horse comfortable, change your bandage pads every 12 hours. Dirt and debris are likely to build-up within this time, potentially causing irritation. If your bandage pads are wet or dirty, you’ll need to wash them before reusing. If they’re clean or dry, however, you can use them for a little longer. Keep an eye on the condition to make sure they’re a snug fit. If they’re too loose or don’t feel stretchy enough, it’s time to replace them.
