Sparklin Cowgirl Posts: 4379	So I have had two awful runs on my gelding in the last month. The only common denominator between the two runs was I used polos all the way around. Has anyone had a horse hate a certain kind of leg wrap so much they pitched a fit?

The Worst Seller Ever Posts: 4138 Location: Oklahoma	I have a mare that sits really hard. She will not run correctly if she has polos or nothing on her back legs. She burned herself really bad when she was young. Put boots on her and she sits and drags like she is supposed to. Maybe he doesn't feel secure without the boots?

Born not Made Posts: 2930 Location: North Dakota	I have one right now that HATES anything on his back legs .... even the ShooFly leggins. So he gets nothing on his back legs.

So he gets nothing on his back legs. They can definitely feel them. We've all seen horses goose-stepping when they first try to get used to them.
