Protective support wrap for equine limb

A protective support wrap for a lower leg of a horse comprising:

• a panel formed of a first layer of flexible material, a second outer layer secured to one side of said first layer and forming one part of fastener means for said wrap and a third inner layer secured to an opposite side of said first layer and forming a contact surface for engagement with a leg of a horse;
• said panel including a top edge, a bottom edge and spaced apart side edges, a first pocket portion of said panel formed adjacent said bottom edge and a second pocket portion of said panel spaced from said first pocket portion a sufficient distance such as to engage said first pocket portion in nesting relationship when said wrap is applied to the leg;
• and
• spaced apart fastener straps secured to said panel adjacent one of said side edges, at least one fastener strap secured to said panel adjacent said one side edge and at least one fastener strap secured to said panel adjacent said second pocket portion and operable to be engaged with said outer layer to secure said wrap around the leg with said pocket portions disposed adjacent a fetlock joint of the leg.

A protective support wrap for a lower leg of a horse comprising:

• a panel formed of a first layer of flexible material comprising neoprene having a thickness of about five millimeters to seven millimeters, a second outer layer secured to one side of said first layer and forming one part of fastener means for said wrap and a third inner layer secured to an opposite side of said first layer and forming a contact surface for engagement with a leg of a horse;
• said panel including a top edge, a bottom edge and spaced apart side edges, a first pocket portion of said panel formed adjacent said bottom edge and a second pocket portion of said panel spaced from said first pocket portion a sufficient distance such as to engage said first pocket portion in nesting relationship when said wrap is applied to said leg;
• and
• spaced apart fastener straps secured to said panel adjacent one of said side edges and operable to be engaged with said outer layer to secure said wrap around the leg with said pocket portions disposed adjacent a fetlock joint of the leg.

• and
• fastener means secured to said inner layer of said panel between said side edges and operable to engage said outer layer when said panel is wrapped around the leg to position said panel initially so that said fastener straps may be secured to said outer layer with said pocket portions disposed in protective relationship to the fetlock joint.

A protective wrap for a lower leg of a horse comprising:

• a panel formed of a first layer of substantially flexible shock absorbing material having a top edge, a bottom edge and spaced apart side edges, said panel including an arm portion projecting from one of said side edges and having a height of about forty percent to fifty percent of the overall height of said panel between said top edge and said bottom edge, said panel being of sufficient width between said side edges to provide for wrapping said panel completely around a leg of a horse such that said panel overlies the fetlock joint, said side edges overlap each other and said arm portion of said panel overlies another portion of said panel and the fetlock joint, said panel is formed with first and second pockets spaced apart from each other, one of said pockets being formed in said arm portion of said panel, said pockets being spaced apart from each other sufficiently to provide for said pocket in said arm portion being engaged with the other pocket in nesting relationship when said wrap is disposed around the leg to provide two thicknesses of said first layer disposed in protective covering of the fetlock joint;
• and
• fastener means on said panel adjacent one of said side edges and said arm portion for securing said panel snugly around the leg with said two thicknesses of said first layer substantially covering the fetlock joint to absorb impact blows against the fetlock joint.
