Designed to offer the support of an exercise bandage with the convenience of a boot. We sourced a unique and highly effective fabric called Stomatex which allows these wraps to actively work at keeping horses’ legs cool during exercise. A four way stretch in the fabric means that there is freedom of movement and extremely comfortable to wear. And they are not just for dressage or schooling, Stretch & Flex Flatwork Wraps can be used for hacking, lunging, showing, endurance and carriage driving. The Flatwork wraps are available in black and white and an array of sizes to make sure you can have the perfect fit on both front and hinds. They are the choice of many of our riders from dressage riders Judy Harvey and Jo Hamilton to event riders, Sam Griffiths and Jock Paget. The Velcro fastenings make them quick and easy to put on and take off. Easy to wash and easy to use. Free your horses natural paces THE SCIENCE What materials do we use? How Stomatex® Works The Stretch & Flex Training Wraps are made from Stomatex® – a revolutionary, unusual looking, material. The material itself mimics the way a leaf ‘breathes’ which keeps the skin free from perspiration and maintains an ideal skin temperature over an extended period of time. The way the material works is by efficiently moving trapped vapour molecules from beneath the fabric by the flexing action of minute dome shaped chambers which contain a tiny pore in the centre. Stomatex replicates how a plant’s stomata transpires and passes vapour from inside the leaf to the atmosphere. The chambers create a self-contained micro-climate, allowing cooler, drier air to pass through at a controlled rate and the material works as hard as you and your horse are working to maintain this constant condition. This technology is based on the laws of thermodynamics and diffusion – that heat will always transfer from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature and that, in an attempt to regain equilibrium, water vapour will tend to move from a region of higher density to a region of lower density. This process means that Stomatex can overcome the problems of perspiration and over-heating traditionally associated with the use of closed cell foam materials such as traditional neoprene. What other properties does Stomatex® have? As well as ‘breathing like a leaf’ Stomatex provides a unique four way stretch to enable use around mobile joints such as the fetlock and the special type of Neoprene it is made from repels external water. It is such a revolutionary material that it has been used in many different industries for many different products such as heat acclimatisation suits, padding for wheelchairs, special wetsuits and sport injury support bandages. Stretch & Flex Flatwork Wraps offer protection against minor scrapes and knocks. They have a thick cushioned panel which protects the horse’s fetlock joint and split bones without any hardness or rigidity. Flatwork wraps are useful for horses and ponies recovering from injuries, those with joint problems such as arthritis and in providing gentle cushioning over scars and splints.
