Abstract
A protective support wrap for a lower leg of a horse including a panel having an inner surface and an outer surface and a length dimension suitable for wrapping around the lower leg of the horse, a tendon support roll affixed to the panel and having a surface protruding outwardly of the inner surface of the panel so as to press against the tendon of the lower leg, and a fastener affixed to the panel and extending outwardly therefrom for affixing to the outer surface of the panel when the panel is wrapped around the lower leg. The tendon support roll includes a first tendon support roll affixed to the panel and extending transverse to the length dimension of the panel and a second tendon support roll affixed to the panel in spaced parallel relationship to the first tendon support roll. Each of the first and second tendon support rolls has an upper end tapered so as to thicken in a direction toward a lower end. The lower end of each of the first and second tendon support rolls is tapered so as to thicken in a direction toward the upper end. Each of the upper and lower ends of the first and second tendon support rolls has curved edges.
