Leg and tail protection from PolyPads® is now better than ever, thanks to some clever design refinements based on feedback from customers and their horses, confirming PolyPads® as the ultimate choice for safe travel and stable protection.

PolyPads® Leg Protectors provide sensible protection whatever the journey. In addition to the stiffener, the hind Leg Protectors now have enhanced shaping plus an extra strap above the hock for a more secure fit, while the incorporation of a scuff cuff round the bottom of each Leg Protector means they are extra durable too.

The PolyPads® Tail Rappa©, with its soft, towelling lining, is now even easier to put on but does not compromise on the protection it gives, especially at the top of the tail. A vertical hook and loop front fixing runs the entire length of the Rappa© enabling it to be secured with one easy movement to ensure a firm, uniform, non-slip fit.

Rapidly growing in popularity as the easy alternative to time-consuming stable bandages, PolyPads® Bandage Rappa’s© have been subtly re-styled by adding a curved hook and loop fixing which runs down the whole leg. This new style fixing follows the contours of the leg, allowing easy fitting and ensuring they stay comfortably in place all night long. ‘They are perfect for warmth at night, especially in temporary stabling at shows, and for short journeys’ says leading Junior Showjumper of the Year, Sophie Broome. They also make a perfect covering for leg injuries, keeping dressings clean and dry, while the absorbent, towelling lining can be placed directly on complaints such as mud fever without causing discomfort.

PolyPads® Leg Protectors, Tail Rappa’s© and Bandage Rappa’s© are available in a wide variety of base colour and binding options and have suggested retail prices from £48.00 per set, £10.00 each and £20.00 per pair respectively. They will be available from March 2004 - for stockist details please telephone: 01284 850511 or visit the website at www.polypads.co.uk
