strapping horses

Question
hello sir. do you encourage your grooms to strap their horses? i mean, banging the horse muscles using disk shaped pads made out of wool.

Answer
hi i have never heard of that type of treatment for sore muscles but it may be a good thing if used regularly. we just massage the horse with a linamnet after they have their baths and are cooled out as a daily treatment if they tend to have sore muscles after the training. thanks ED HESS
