Does anyone have any good instructions for doing one of these? Dr O I didn't find this listed under bandaging anywhere.

No we don't Jordana, I don't see them much anymore. The ones I see were made of stout cotton like a towel. They come in various lengths from short enough to just cover a knee or hock or ong enough to cover the whole cannon. Each side of the bandage is cut into numerous strips about 3/4 of an inch wide and running down the side so when you are done there is about a 6 inch wide uncut strip down the middle of the bandagen with the edges cut on both side. These strips can then be used as ties and the bandage made to conform to the irregular spots.
