In QLD Australian summers I find whenever I wrap, even with poultice/liniment underneath, my horse's legs heat up too much. So after a hard ride or show I just hose him down until the water resting on his skin is cool, then I put ice boots on for 20 minutes, then I smear a thick layer of wet poultice all over his legs, carrot stretches and if I feel like he may need it I sometimes rinse his back (shoulders and loins/hindquarters especially) with some diluted liquid liniment like penetrene A. It takes forever but I love doing it, nothing like fussing over your favourite pony haha
We ice, poultice, wrap and pack feet every day at a horse show! And then ice + wrap (sometimes with liniment) at home after jump schools - even for the young ones. I believe in keeping the legs as well maintained as you can - love to see another equestrian who shares this philosophy!
Hope all is well with you & the horses. I really enjoyed watching your content during the pandemic, and got worried when you didn't post for a while. When you're ready I hope you'll give us an update. Ocean must be a big girl now 💜
Loved this! Love seeing how you take such amazing care of all your horses! However, I do wish you could of shown taking off the Poultice though. I love seeing everyone's different methods especially because I can learn little tricks and tips that I didn't know/realize before. 😄
A hard bristled curry comb once it’s dry and then hosing the legs, don’t recommend hosing the legs initially because it turns goopy and makes a huge mess.
Hey Zoey! I’m not sure if you will see this… but if you do…. I only follow you here now. 6 years ago in the middle of following your journey with D and Roman I gave up all my Other social media for personal safety reasons. When I found you were making videos on here I was elated! I’ve been checking back every so often since your last post 2 years or more now. I wish you would post an update. I hope you are doing well and all the horses are good. Love from Northern California🏔️🌲☀️💙
I use ice boots (ie..the boots you put in the freezer) for after jumping and cross-country.i was wondering if the poultice is more beneficial and if so why??or can you poultice after ice??thx Z!
both serve different purposes! you can ice and then poultice. neither is more or less beneficial than the other, just have to find what works best for your horse:)
I use both but they serve different purposes, sometimes I ice before I poultice. The long lasting clay with herbal/medicinal properties works differently than a 15-45 minute ice wrap, but both are beneficial.
I’m not a vet. Windpuffs are cosmetic and are caused by fluid surrounding soft tissue structures due to the lymphatic system being unable to pull it up. Unfortunately once wind puffs are present, it’s hard to get rid of them much like once you stretch the collar of your shirt and can’t shrink it back. That being said, compression therapy and Back on Track wraps as well as movement and circulation are great ways to help.
i think the term stadium jumping just tends to be used for eventing, and show jumping/jumpers for the individual sport, but maybe it could also be a regional difference. Basically they are the same thing.
it's the stuff you buy at the tack store. It comes in a role like paper towel. Alternatively you can use the inside of feed bags (but not a lot of feed bags have brown paper lining anymore). You can also use the blue paper towel usually found in the car cleaning section at stores, it also works really well to hold moisture.
yes, but it's not as effective. The point is to keep it wet for as long as possible, as that is when the poultice is working. Once dry, it's just crusty dirt, and without the brown paper and wrapping it dries very quickly.
This video came at the perfect time! I’ve never poulticed but I’ve wanted to start doing it with my horse after hard workouts but didn’t know how. This was super helpful! How long do you leave the poultice and standing wraps on before washing it off?
Hit the like button for the best boy Troy! 😍

I love poultice. For myself sometimes too! Like the idea of wet paper. I've always used plastic wrap. Thanks for the tip!

Could you expand on what you use to pack the feet with?

@@ZLEquestrian Awesome! Thanks so much 😊💙
Troy looks like such a easy going boy and he looks like he loves what he does he’s a very stunning boy🔥
Thanks so much!
@@ZLEquestrian at first i thought troy was black but he’s a really dark bay??
This was really neat to see, after leg care is something I've been curious about
You look so good on him! That color on him is the bomb! 😍
Aw thanks!
Loved this video! Watching you rub the poultice on was so satisfying 😅
Thanks!
THIS is A REALLY GOOD VIDEO
Love these videos! Super informative and satisfying to watch.
Thanks Lacy!

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos I learn a lot from them!
Thanks for watching!
Loved this one😍👏
Can you do a meet my horses video, because sometimes I do not know who is who?
Very interesting!
What brand of poultice do you use?
What brand are your pillow wraps?
Love your videos! I love learning so much from them and seeing cute Troy!
Thanks so much! I use UpTite but they’re all pretty much the same. In this video I’m using SmartPak No Bow wraps.
These videos are very interesting!
When will you post again? :)
Question!! What did you mean when you said “you may notice Troy has “tight” legs”?
Nice

@@elizabetheventing3827 thanks so very much for your reply! X
Omg love this video what camera do you use?
Are ice boots a viable alternative to poultices please?
I use both but they serve different purposes, sometimes I ice before I poultice. The long lasting clay with herbal/medicinal properties works differently than a 15-45 minute ice wrap, but both are beneficial.
What wraps do you use?
What bandages do you use ? x
Would this be helpful for very large wind puffs? I am trying to figure out ways to make them go down in size but nothing seems to work.

What camera do you use? the quality is better than my eyeballs
Lol same. Sony cameras.

How long do you leave the poultice on for?
Depends on brand, each one will have instructions on the container. 24-36 hours generally.
Is there a difference between stadium jumping and show jumping?
No, stadium is referring to the show jumping phase of eventing. Show jumping is it’s own discipline itself.
i think the term stadium jumping just tends to be used for eventing, and show jumping/jumpers for the individual sport, but maybe it could also be a regional difference. Basically they are the same thing.
What kind of brown paper do you use is it anything specific?
it's the stuff you buy at the tack store. It comes in a role like paper towel. Alternatively you can use the inside of feed bags (but not a lot of feed bags have brown paper lining anymore). You can also use the blue paper towel usually found in the car cleaning section at stores, it also works really well to hold moisture.
Can you just leave it without the wraps on?
yes, but it's not as effective. The point is to keep it wet for as long as possible, as that is when the poultice is working. Once dry, it's just crusty dirt, and without the brown paper and wrapping it dries very quickly.
@@Morgan-rp2xb thank you!!
He’s acting like it’s kind of a spa day for with with the poultice.
If you knock a rail or go down hair, you should do it twice. that just me

Sony Alpha line of cameras, thanks!
