How and When to Poultice Your Horse’s Legs

Poultices are a fabulous way to keep your horse’s legs cool and tight, and are best applied after a tough workout or when there is swelling present in the leg. Typically, poultice is applied and left on for about 12 hours or overnight.

Which legs get poulticed depends on what you’re trying to achieve. If you’ve ridden your horse hard and you’re trying to help his legs recover, apply to all four legs. If you’ve got one leg that is acutely swollen and your veterinarian recommends poulticing it, you can wrap just the swollen leg.

Not sure how it’s done? This video walks you through applying a poultice step-by-step:
