Have you ever tried a product called Draw? You mix it 50/50 with water. It's relatively inexpensive. You soak paper towels (I usually use Bounty), wrap them around the legs under quilts and standing wraps. It works really well.

We use green clay poultice then wrap in Saran Wrap then polo wraps. Walking several times does help too but by far out best investment was a Theraplate!

I've been having the same problem with my gelding in that he stocks up while being stalled. Best thing that I've found is putting poultice on his legs. Then wet brown paper over the poultice and wrapping with a standing bandage. My new favorite poultice to use EZ Willow Poultice from Finishline which they just came out with. I've always been a sore no more user but really like the ez willow

Yes, standing bandages or the lycra (I think) compression bandages are the best.

I must have missed why yr horse is stalled that long...........M

When we go to 3 day shows. She gets really bad when we go to NBHA world and is stalled for a week.

Take rubber mats or those little kids play mats that connect together. Like the ones you see in the daycares on the floors. To NBHA World.

Standing wraps. Sore No More poultice. A combo of both.

But really, the best thing to do is walk. Even getting on and walking around helps. Gets the blood flowing, which is what you need in order to reduce the swelling.

I use mats for her when were gone for a week. There too heavy and aggravating to take for just 2 or 3 days.
